FLEXICHILDCARE is a new nursery/childminding app.  We know that nurseries and childcare providers often have ad hoc and unpredicted capacity.  We also know, that as mums, sometimes we just need a couple hours to go to the supermarket or to the gym.  What we really need is flexible childcare and quickly.  FLEXICHILDCARE wants to connect registered and approved nurseries and childcare providers with the mums who want more flexible childcare around their daily lives.   FLEXICHILDCARE needs to identify which… The post FLEXICHILDCARE appeared first on The Single Swan ..read more

PREDICTMEFERTILE wants to help women to better understand their fertility windows based on more than just period data.  Our lifestyles, our eating habits, our weight, our medical and clinical histories, our blood alcohol content and our stress levels all impact our fertility.   Your period tracking apps don’t take any of these factors into account when they give you your fertility predictions.  PREDICTMEFERTILE is conducting research which we hope in the long-term will help provide better fertility predictions for women. … The post PREDICTMEFERTILE appeared first on The Single Swan ..read more

Those of you who have followed this blog for a while will know that I have written a lot about domestic abuse and coercive control and support organisations like Women’s Aid and Refuge who help victims of domestic violence and abuse.  I was excited this week to stumble across a new campaign, kNOw this isn’t love, by Victims First.   The kNOw this isn’t love campaign is designed to raise awareness of coercive control and emotional abuse in relationships.  … The post kNOw this isn’t love on International Women’s Day 2019 appeared first on The Single Swan ..read more

We spent at great day out at Beaulieu Motor Museum in the New Forest Hampshire this February half term.   Cygnet and I watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on Christmas Day.  Since then, Cygnet has been obsessed with the film and with the flying car in particular.  When I found out that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is at the Beaulieu Motor Museum we just had to go.  We actually made a bit of a holiday of it.  I booked three… The post Beaulieu Motor Museum appeared first on The Single Swan ..read more

I’ve been on a blogging sabbatical, or at least that’s what I am telling you all.  The other night when I published the blog post about my crush on a French man I looked back at the previous post and realised that it has been a month, yes a whole month, since I had posted it. Gone are the days when I would post 4 times a week, when words would flow out of me like tears. Often, to be… The post I’ve been on a blogging sabbatical, or something like that appeared first on The Single Swan ..read more

Anything (well almost) for a French man

I’ve started chatting to a French guy on the dating app Bumble.  I saw him, recognised him, swiped right and was quite surprised to see that we matched.  You see, we’ve come across each other before, a couple of years ago, again on the dating app Bumble. We did actually meet up.  One evening, over two years ago.  It was a bit of a confusing encounter.  We had a drink, or rather I had a drink, he doesn’t drink…  We… The post Anything (well almost) for a French man appeared first on The Single Swan ..read more

If you have a disability and want to be a parent, there are some things you should know. First, know that you’re not alone. There are an estimated 8 million American parents with some type of disability. There are many resources available to you, such as blog Q&As from other parents with disabilities who’ve been through the experience and share their insights. The federal government also lists helpful sites such as the ADA National Network, the National Council on Disability,… The post Planning for Parenthood When You Have a Disability: What You Need to Know appeared first on The Single Sw ..read more

2019 goals: “Is there anything that you are interested in?”

It is time to write my 2019 goals. The New Year is supposed to be a new beginning, a fresh start, a clean slate, a time of optimism and renewal. In January, we purge our lives of the toxins that have been dragging us down for the last few months; we take out a gym membership; we do dry January and according to an article I read today, we file for divorce. No, I am not being flippant.  7th of… The post 2019 goals: “Is there anything that you are interested in?” appeared first on The Single Swan ..read more

How to survive Christmas without your child

Christmases were the same for me every year as a child.  I don’t mean that in a bad way, in fact I mean it in a very good way.  Our Christmas traditions involved: an annual pantomime; leaving a mince pie, some whiskey and a carrot out for Santa and his reindeer; stockings at the end of the bed; piles of presents for each of us scattered around the living room and then a further pile of presents known as ‘tree… The post How to survive Christmas without your child appeared first on The Single Swan ..read more

I’ve just returned from a weekend in Paris.  After my New York trip in August, I found that I was in a sulk for about a month.  I had been looking forward to my New York trip so much and for so long and I really missed having an adventure to look forward to.  I was in a sulk and to get out of my sulk I decided to book a weekend in Paris.   I am very aware of… The post Musings on Paris, art and protest appeared first on The Single Swan ..read more
