Summer holidays are soon upon us – yay! I don’t know about you but, packing for the beach can sometimes be a chore in itself – so many things to remember for the kids… and then you forget about yourself and what you need on the beach too.

My debut ‘Mama of the Month’ questions begin with some mothers who have more experience than I do… and I always love to hear advice from women who have been through it all and can look back and tell us newish mothers what it’s all about.
