About Me

Menopausal Mummy

Menopausal Mummy

I am 47, married, an ex-professional stay at home mom, with a husband and twin boys. On this blog you can expect commentary on issues serious (and not so serious), from parenting to menopause, work, husbands , children, school, extracuriculars, aging parents, hot flashes and a sweet doddery pug who poops at random.
