Do you know any mum who isn’t striving her hardest to make life better for her family? Running Family Friendly Working I am constantly inspired by the women we profile who are combining work and family, and often pushing the boundaries to do so. Yet I know that lots of mums feel like they aren’t doing enough.

Today I’ve run 4 loads of washing through the machine, while working too. I was reading Alli at Motivating Mum’s blog this week, where she lists all the things she does in a day. Before writing her list Alli felt that she wasn’t doing enough, and I think that’s a feeling we all know. If this is how you feel, why not write down your own list?

And it sometimes seems like everyone else is ‘doing it all’ and ‘having it all’ when you are struggling. The media often doesn’t help with this, presenting images of shining perfect women.  It is great to see publications like essentials really trying to raise the profile of real women as part of their magazine. If you want to help the cause of ‘real women’, and maybe feature in essentials, spread the word about their campaign, below.

essentials magazine is looking for some inspiring real women. This could be your chance to appear in a national magazine. essentials says, “Calling all real women – whatever your size, shape, height, or age essentials magazine needs you!  If you would like to appear in a glossy womens lifestyle magazine this is your chance to shine!  Simply visit www.goodtoknow.co.uk/essentialsfor further details on how to enter, and follow the campaign on our Facebook and Twitter pages…we can’t wait to hear from you.”
