Tune in at 2...Spotlight on Richard Roscoe

Today on BBC Three Counties radio will be our resident 'More than a PAPA' Richard Roscoe. Richard is an accomplished photographer running his own business Richard Roscoe Photography. He will be talking to Lorna Milton today at 2pm, straight after Lorna has played her first tune.
Richard will be at our Easter More Than A Mama Fayre on Friday 26th March, 9.30am-noon at Berkhamsted Town Hall. He has recently introduced an exciting new package to his product line up, Baby's First Year. During the first year, your baby will progress through many stages of development at a staggering rate. Why not capture that time forever with The Baby's First Year Package the ideal keepsake.
The package consists of FOUR creative portrait sessions in the studio which will be 
relaxed, pressure-free and baby-friendly. 
Choose sessions at ages 3, 6, 9 and 12 months or newborn, 4, 8 and 12 months, the choice is yours. 
Find out further details online at Richard Roscoe Photography or call the studio on 01442 870005. 
Richard is also offering a fantastic FREE GIFT if you book your Baby's First Year Package with him, 20 custom made photo announcement cards to show your baby off (these would normally cost £50!),
what a fantastic offer.

So, don't forget to listen out for Richard Roscoe today on the Lorna Milton Show, if you miss it we will add a link to the iPlayer tomorrow so you can hear it all again and again! 
Yesterday Wendy Jones, a Harpenden Jewellery Designer, mum of 4 and seller at our Easter More Than A Mama Fayre, talked to Lorna Milton about being a busy mum and juggling her own business.

Mothering Sunday

A day for celebrating motherhood, hurray! A day of peace, relaxation, pampering? ummmmm, maybe not all of those (maybe not any of them), but how about a lovely little gift, you deserve it!

More Than A Mama have been sniffing out some lovely gift ideas, so why not send a link to our site to your partner or children - just as a little hint!

We start off with Millsy and this pretty 'I Love MUM' towel shown here as a Hand Towel, but can also be made in Bath Towel and Bath Sheet sizes. It is illustrated in their popular range of 'Floral Pink' fabric.
Why not team it up with this gorgeous hand-knitted pure wool tea cosy, with pink and turquoise beaded edging? Prices start at £13.50 for a Hand Towel and £12 for a tea cosy. Please allow 10-14 working days per order. 

Contact Millsy via email:millsy.info@googlemail.com.
(Please note, all other props are not for sale).

Heartfelt Handmade also has some cute ideas for treats. How about these lovely felt corsages, available in a range of colours. They are sold individually at £5 per brooch but there is a SPECIAL OFFER of 3 for £10, available for a limited time only, check out her site for further info on how to place an order. 
Or why not choose one of these lovely hearts? These ones have 'yummy mummy' and 'love you' on them but Heartfelt Handmade can personalise them with your very own message. Each heart costs £6.50 each and can be made in any colour you like! To contact Marie at Heartfelt Handmade, email her at info@heartfelthandmade.com.


If you fancy something tasty to share (or not to share!) why not order a beautiful cake creation from Nevie-Pie Cakes. Natasha has perfected her painted cake technique as you can see here ......

 
.....maybe some cupcakes? Look at this mouth-watering cupcake swirl.......divine!

You can contact Natasha at nevie-pie@hotmail.co.uk.

If it's yummy lotions and potions you are looking for then our resident beauty expert, and Vie at Home consultant, Sharon Herholdt, can point you in the right direction. Contact Sharon via email at s.herholdt@homecall.co.uk or call her on 07939 270160.



For gorgeous cards and prints to show you care, all by Illustrator

How about a family portrait to surprise mum with? Contact Richard Roscoe at Richard Roscoe photography, email: richard@richardroscoe.co.uk or call him on 07879 827179.

So, no excuses now! Make sure your partner and family don't forget you on what should be a very special Mama's Day! Whatever you decide to do, we wish you lots of love for Mothering Sunday!
