About us

Peggy aka Happy Mum: I am the mum, the writer of this blog and the ones who wipes the snots and changes the nappies all day long until Happy Dad comes home. Then I happily hand over the lot. In between the laundry pile, the mouths to feed and the hoover, I also run a business.

I am an internet and social media addict which worries a lot my friends and family but, honestly, I survive pretty well.

Three years in this blogging malarchy and now I coach and mentor others to do the same. Could I be happier? I don’t think so.

In January 2011 I launched The Brainstorming Club, a place for small business owners to meet, brainstorm, learn and have fun doing business. It is working beyond my expectations and it has open an amazing new array of possibilities, meaning that I am never EVER short of stuff filling my brain so I apologise if sometime I lay it bare on this blog.

I am French and addicted to chocolate mousse (regularly mentioned in here). I have pretty bad taste in music and regularly feature my favourite cheesy songs. I am constantly studying something. I am in the middle of a minimum of 3 books at all time. I used to start diets regularly but learnt to like my size 14 to 16 curves. I have waves of OCD which usually materialise in clearing and cleaning EVERYTHING and shouting at others for not being cooperative, especially the kids and the dog.

Craig aka Happy Dad: The man with a patience of gold. IT and history geek. Reads 3 books a week. Always has stuff to do on “his list” especially when I mention something needs to be done “Yes that’s on my list”. Fabulous cook and the King of Roast dinners. Makes the best Tai Green curries and roast potatoes. Full of useless facts that he insists on telling me right in the middle of Eastenders. No clue about music at all; I can play over and over the same track and he will ask who this is every.single. time! Gorgeous. Lovely. My soul mate.

Elliott aka Spiderman: Stunt-boy. Opinionated. Loves cooking and insists on helping even when not required. Forces me to use of stratagems to avoid his assistance while cooking dinner. Addicted to the Polar Express and chocolate coins. Highly reactive to chocolate. Quite solitary yet very sociable. Adorable. Blond. My first baby.

Victor aka Pumpkin: Funny. Smiley. Sunshine. Cheeky. Stubborn. Loves dancing and singing. Doesn’t resist music, ANY music. Has got a very high pitched scream when he is excited about something. Loves bananas and addicted to dummies. Has 2 blond curls on each side. My last born and little baby.

Nala aka the Giant Blonde: Most patient dog in the world. Doesn’t mind being climbed on, poked, have her tail pulled or share her bed with annoying pygmies. Spends most of her life asleep, snoring loudly. Fussy eater; doesn’t like raw liver or duck neck but loves salad and bananas. Has loved life even more ever since children came into hers: they always drop stuff when at the table and lots of left overs suddenly appear in her bowl. Loves scaring Tesco’s delivery men but has a heart of gold.
