A Yummy Mummy? Really?: Yummy? Mummy? In the Winter? YES!

How on earth can we be yummy and still be a mummy in the winter!

Happy New Year!

The cold spell continues (though so far without the dreaded 's' word!) and the school run is fraught enough, without the added pressure of looking good whilst doing it!

And so, as my last post of 2011 I want to share some pictures with you. These are real mums on a real school run, doing what they do best, looking yummy despite the weather in the last month of 2011!

I am not a photographer by any stretch of the imagination, as previous posts will testify. But even with a camera phone, the smiles of these mums is clear to see.

If you have some similar pictures of mums doing what mums do best, (no smut please; you know what I mean!) Email them in and we'll perhaps display them.

We need to remember that we are all yummy, regardless of celebrities trying to persuade us that we can't step out of the door without 5 inch heels and a designer buggy.

We need to remember that it's only 5 degrees Celsius out there, and it's nigh on impossible to find winter coats that keep us warm but also make us look red carpet ready.

We need to remember that its a miracle if we even remember to put our shoes on after the children have ran us ragged from 5am until school drop of time.

We need to remember that simply brushing our hair some mornings is a major challenge.

We need to remember that we face similar challenges to millions of other mums, that we are not alone, that we have friends, family, children who love us.
