This book really made me sit up and take stock! It's full of good advice for mums. It's so easy for children to completely take over leaving little or no time for us. If you're not careful, you can find your life has gone into meltdown - the house is a mess, you can't remember the last time you went clothes shopping and romance barely figures in your relationship.

Grace Saunders - a former Elle journalist and a working mother of two is an enviously Yummy Mummy but she is well aware of the realities of motherhood. What's good about this book is that Saunders enlists advice from many different experts including child psychologist Dr Tanya Byron, to tackle areas such as sleep, exercise, diet, relationships, style and home, so it's not just one person's opinion on how you should be running your life.

I have to admit I found the first two chapters on nutrition and exercise a little hard going but maybe that's because I still haven't lost as much baby weight as I'd like and I need to face up to some hard truths!

All in all though, the book left me feeling more positive and purposeful about getting my life in order and I am now scheduling in more time for me and my friends and have just re-arranged my house! A great pick-me-up.
