Actually Mummy

When it comes to advice, there are loads of supportive blogs for parents of little ones, but much less for parents of teens. And that's a shame as this is arguably when you need it most.

No Phone Day!

This one's a challenge for everyone. No phones. All day. For any of you. We recommend heading out and leaving phones at home - quality time, without the usual one-handed distraction. No phones over dinner, too! If you think you can handle it, you could say no to ALL screens and devices, or even make an entire weekend of it. You never know, you might be pleasantly surprised.
