Calling all mums
Here’s an exciting invitation to local mums from the national charity, ‘Care for the Family’. Former Blue Peter presenter and celebrity mum, Diane Louise Jordan will host an evening event offering amusing insights into the challenges that mothers face as well as practical tips on juggling work, life, children and everything else.
The event, entitled ‘Mum’s the Word’, will take place at Orangefield Presbyterian, Belfast, on 14 October from 7.30 pm to 10.00 pm.
Experienced speaker Cathy Madavan will co–present with broadcaster Diane, who between them have three children. They will both share their own experiences of motherhood. Topics covered will include: Does ‘Supermum’ really exist?; choosing your battles; and learning how to let go.
Caroline Bradley, national representative at Care for the Family in Northern Ireland said: “Unlike an electrical appliance, children don’t come with rules and instructions attached. As mothers, we can often feel guilty and as though we are failing, by not knowing how to deal with the situations in which we find ourselves. We think we should be able to manage, because everyone else seems to.
“The aim of Mum’s the Word is to help mothers realise that these feelings are normal and, most importantly, that they are not alone!Presenters Cathy and Diane are both busy, working mums and so know first–hand the challenges of juggling all aspects of family life.”
As well as providing lots of practical tips, the evening will offer clips and stories that are guaranteed to make mums of all ages smile.
Tickets for the event cost £6 per person and include refreshments, but if you book before 31st August tickets will be £4. Group discounts are also available.
