LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Hi there! After what had seemed the longest winter in living memory, we’ve finally had our first serious sunshine (OK it was short lived, but nice while it lasted), and Mummy and Me Magazine had it’s first anniversary! Congratulations too, to Whiston Hospital on their official opening by the Countess of Wessex. Doesn’t she look lovely? We’ve got a jam packed edition, full of news, reviews and advice, as well as the regular features of ‘Rogues Gallery’ (Daddy and Me in celebration of Father’s Day) and our fascinating Mumpreneur feature. Make sure to enter our fantastic competition to win a Buggypod smorf (you’ve got to be in it to win it!) With allergies in the news again, we’re featuring Baby Skin Care. You’re not alone coping with your itchy (or spotty/blotchy) baby! Similarly, you’re not alone when your toddler has a temper tantrum (it’s happened to us all!) and we have some excellent advice, tips and tricks that are sure to help. Thank you for supporting our magazine, we like to hear from you and love it when you give us your opinions and suggestions. If you want to feature as one of our Mumpreneurs, or if you have an inspirational story, please contact me by email
