Opa! Big fat Greek news 📕! I’ve poured my hea

Opa! Big fat Greek news 📕! I’ve poured my heart and soul into writing my debut children’s book for 9-12 year olds, Greek Myths, Folktales & Legends for the biggest children’s publishers worldwide no less: @scholastic , and their UK arm @scholastic_uk over the past year, so much so, it has felt like cramming a Classics degree into one year, such was the scale of research and the commitment to writing each of the 20 myths, into cinematic stories children will hopefully love.
Greek myths are seminal works, hugely influencing storytelling inspiring Shakespeare, Hollywood and beyond. For those intrigued on how this opportunity came about, 7 years after I wrote my debut non-fiction book Mumboss… Scholastic UK approached my (excellent and hugely supportive) literary agent Jo Bell, @belllomaxmoreton , enquiring if she represented any writers who were originally Greek to write a Greek Myths book as part of their Classic series. Other books in the series span Irish, Welsh, Norse, East Asian African and Carribean folktales, myths and legends, all written by authors of the ethnicity connected to the subject matter.
I was asked to submit a 3000 words draft reimagining the story of Medusa which they liked as I was then commissioned to write the book! What an honour it’s been too and for the publisher who has brought so many beloved books to the world from the Tom Gates, Horrible Histories and Science series, His Dark Materials and The Hunger Gameds amongst many others!
It’s been such a thrilling and stimulating year of writing for me, it’s helped me rediscover my voice after the birth of my third child and given me creative purpose every day. Please pre-order (link in the bio) to be the first to receive their copy. Thank you and big thanks to @lunartalent for being so supportive x #book #bookstagram #author #greek #greekmyths #greekmythology

Research confirms mothers are the most exhausted s

Research confirms mothers are the most exhausted since WW2 because so many of us are the first generation without the proper support of a village or grandparents.This generation of grandparents is evidently the least supportive and most self-centered.Mothers, do you get proper support from the grandparents? I know how lucky I am that I do ❤️ #research #motherhood #village #grandparents #over70 #momofthree #support #ww2 #relatable #stats #didyouknow #moms #momlife #facts #researchpaper #postpartum #pregnancy #momofthree #girlmom #boymom #motherdaughter (cover photo @dreamyfoxphotography)

It’s hard to know quite where to begin with writ

It’s hard to know quite where to begin with writing this review because our week away at the @oberjoch.familux in Germany, 10 miles from@Austria, was literally, unequivocably and utterly perfect. Perfect, full stop, so there’s no need to read the rest of the blog post although do stay because I want to sing from the rooftops how excellent every element of our stay was because this resort truly sets the bar for family travel. The entire resort, and experience there, felt like entering the culmination of a family brainstorm where each member played their part in conjuring up the most incredible resort conceivable, which caters for every want or need you could possibly hope for from a vacation, without compromise.

This resort turns the notion on its head that vacations with children, are just parenting in a change of scenery. Familux provides parents with a chance to feel fully rested and rejuvenated after a stay there, because the kids are happy, so you are!

Did you know the common belief that all babies are

Did you know the common belief that all babies are born with blue eyes is actually a myth? A baby’s eye colour at birth depends on genetics and brown is common too. My daughter who is 4 months here, had bluey green eyes until around age one when they turned hazel. At 3 years old now they sometimes look orange in the light too!! She was born with brown eyes though. My sons were both born with brown eyes which never changed colour.

You should know your baby’s final eye colour by the age of 3. Did your baby’s eye colour change too? #newborn #babygirl #beingamom #motherhood #parenting #momtomom #grandmother #pregnancy #pregnancyfacts #biology #relatable #facts #didyouknow #didyouknowfacts

Weekending 🩷❤️🫶. Thanks for Florence’s beautiful, personalised jumper @ksprinklesofficial, and thanks for the laughs, putting the world to rights; being the best colouring-in companion to Florence and the bagels of course @alexgoldsteinwrites. Rocking my Greek-inspired necklace c/o @soremijewellery and my evil eye nails 💅🧿. Hope you’re all having a super, and hopefully sunnier Sunday, thank we are, folks 😘 #smallbusiness #friends #weekend #kidsstyle #sundayfun #weekend #weekendvibes

I was today years old when I discovered another miraculous thing about women: a woman’s egg, or oocyte, can repair damaged sperm after fertilization.

This process is vital in ensuring genetic information is passed on accurately and that the embryo develops properly. Wow! #newborn #babygirl #beingamom #motherhood #parenting #momtomom #pregnancy #pregnancyfacts #biology #relatable #facts #research #babies #twins #babyboy #geriatricpregnancy #didyouknow #didyouknowfacts

My daughter is on the left, my niece is on the rig

My daughter is on the left, my niece is on the right ❤️❤️Did you know that research shows aunts impact their nephews and nieces in what has been defined as a quasi-parental role, shaping and their lives. Aunts can help them feel more confident, they can provide a safe space for them to vent about school and friendships, or ask for advice without the fear of judgement. I love Aunt Life, it’s far less responsibility than parenting with all of the love and fun! #research #stats #auntie #nieces #girlmom #explorepage #fyp #mother #daughter #greek #greeks #aunty #ilovebeinganauntie

Did you know that the old wives’ tale that morni

Did you know that the old wives’ tale that morning sickness means you’re having a girl, is statistically true? Several studies have shown that chronic morning sickness means an increased chance of having a girl and one study even suggests that the more sick you are, the smarter the baby, girl or boy. A study at the University of Washington compared the gender outcomes of 2100 pregnant women admitted to hospital with acute morning sickness during their first trimester with a control group of 9783 women who did not get sick. The hospitalised group were more likely to have girls and those hospitalised for 3 or more days had an 80% increase in girls compared to the control group. Another study in Sweden found similar results. #newborn #babygirl #beingamom #motherhood #parenting #momtomom #grandmother #pregnancy #pregnancyfacts #biology #relatable #science #facts #studies #babygirls #babyboy #babygirl
