Not Your Typical Mums

Do you need a PA? Well Gemma definitely thinks she does, especially to help with remembering those key dates, birthdays, school runs, food shops...it's not going well currently! Ha ha! It's not easy being a busy working mum but maybe having some extra help can make it that bit easier? What do you think?

School transitions are on our mind this week with having to apply for the big Secondary School jump - High School for all our American friends!

This week is officially dedicated to Alice and her absolute LOVE for utility rooms! It's safe to say Alice is a little obsessed but I kinda get it and can't wait to experience my very first utility room in my new home! Basically I'll have another place to hide the s**t from the kitchen! Gemma and Alice xox ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Not Your Typical Mums Instagram  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Seriously, how can we have so many camera issues?! And more importantly, how have we only just realised that we don't need to look into the camera as we're only recording audio?! *hit head against brick wall moment* We'll eventually improve...we think!

Welcome back to this weeks pod! For those that are listening in today, we're discussing whether having a second home or Airbnb property is the right move in today's climate. Is it still a good idea?

Procrastination  is the act of unnecessarily delaying or postponing something despite knowing that there could be negative consequences for doing so...let's discuss why we do this then!

Seriously, why is there always so much laundry?! It feels like a never ending task...as soon as your backs turned, the piles starting to multiply again! All joking aside, does anyone else wonder why there is so much laundry? I'm sure we're not alone and so, in true Alice and Gemma style, we had to talk about it! Your welcome!

Can you believe it, we're on a double win over here! Both Alice and I have got new jobs, stepping up our career and moving on to new challenges! Eek!

We can't quite believe that our summer's over and we're back into the normal school routine already...it went so FAST! This week we're discussing what we got up to over the summer, how we juggled our work commitments and what we're feeling about the back to school grind!

We know you've been on the edge of your seat waiting to hear how Gemma's 'gammy' finger is, especially after our mini break from recording over the summer...so here it is!

Do you have any breakfast staples in your house? Well Gemma has had the same breakfast for the last 8 years! Yes, you read that right! You could say it’s become a bit of an obsession, drinking her chocolate protein shake which she packs full of various goodies and which her colleagues have lovingly nicknamed ‘sludge’, every morning at her desk…it’s become her absolute go to, so she’s sharing her a...

How many email addresses is too many? One, two…nine?! Well that’s how many Gemma has and alongside Alice’s ‘interesting’ (typing this without laughing!) email name, we’re wondering who else out there might have similar ‘email issues’! Keeping it real, Gemma has them to get new customer deals with companies and Alice’s email address may be from her younger years (it explains the ‘princess’ part of...

Alice had a rather interesting (or you could say traumatising!) experience recently, when someone thought she was a grandma…safe to say I thought they were completely mad!! It did though prompt Alice into getting her greys covered in order to feel refreshed and left us wondering whether we’ll always be covering our greys AND more importantly…whether we should be careful of what we say to others?!...

You know we love covering all topics here on our podcast and today is no exception! This week Gemma has managed to get a ‘gammy’ finger (is that even a word?!) and well, we thought we’d share it with you! Your welcome!

It's time for another 'Win or Winge' episode, except this time we've mixed it up a little and gone for two wins! We're feeling rather positive here for a change! **insert winking emoji here** I'm sure we'll find something to winge about soon but for now we're riding the positive train!

Alice and I are annoyed and it's all thanks to our garden cushions and having nowhere to store them, thanks to our British summer! UK mum problems! Is anyone else having this problem?!

Welcome back to this week's episode of Not Your Typical Mums! This week were discussing all things eggs and who decided they should be cooked before eating?! Scrambled, poached, fried...it raises so many questions and we've definitely gone back to the caveman stage for this one! We've also figured out that one of us hasn't quite mastered the art of making an omelette yet! A work in...

Welcome back to Not Your Typical Mums! This week Alice had a rather unsettling experience of 'Stranger Danger' at her daughter's school and although everything turned out ok, it raised questions over how you should teach your children about staying safe in public, whilst not scaring them in the process. Definitely a 'hot topic' in this day and age. Gemma & Alice xox ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Have you had any bizarre reasons for returning unwanted goods? Well this week I had a rather epic reason…knickers! Listen in to find out what happened!  Gemma & Alice xox ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Not Your Typical Mums Instagram  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Not Your Typical Mums ⁠Patreon⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Sussex Mum Lifestyle Blog ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

This week Alice and I discovered that some comments can actually be unhelpful! Comments that maybe shouldn't be shared or are rather obvious that become a little condescending when said aloud...plus that we ALL seem to do this at one time or another, without even realising! Listen in and let us know what you think! Gemma & Alice xox ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Not Your Typical Mums Instagram  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

It's the podcast time of the week! This week Alice and I are chatting appropriate chores for children...are they a good idea? Should pocket money be involved? Are jobs age appropriate and what ages are appropriate?! Some of this seems simple to pull apart but it actually leaves a lot of questions! (The first few seconds typically managed to not record, but everything else is there! We promise...
