The Motherload is all the thinking and all the doing of all the things that seem to come with motherhood. The Motherload is none of those things you read about in your baby book or you Prima Baby Magazine (anyone else?), it’s nothing you could have especially been prepared for, and it’s not something that magically vanishes as your children grow up – if anything, it accelerates and becomes even more weighty.
Juggling work and family is complex. A new survey by national education provider, Open Study College, has revealed that a third (33%) of women changed careers after having children.
Finding your way in life is not an easy thing to do.

A kitchen tends to be where a lot of the work is done within a home. Lots happens in a kitchen and therefore we value its space. Have you got china, plates, cups, and saucers, which take up kitchen cupboard space, and will likely have been inherited from a granny or two?
Gardening is a great way to make sure you get fresh air and it can be quite physical, so it’s also great exercise too – the added bonus is that you’ll also be ticking things off that to-do list by having a good tidy up and refresh of your outside space.
Is your kitchen in need of a bit of TLC? Maybe you were thinking about having a new kitchen but just can’t justify the cost? Or maybe you like parts of the kitchen, but other areas are looking a bit tired?
It’s no secret that children can accumulate a lot of stuff, and there’s no mystery as to why it happens. Some of it might be necessary and some of it might not be, but it can all start to pile up and take over your home. At some point, you need to sort through it all and decide what can stay and what needs to go – but when you have your children looking over your shoulder and your own feelings to deal with, it’s not always so easy to clear out their old things.
I’m so relieved to have found an online store called Magic Madhouse, where all these things are together. They stock Pop! Vinyl figures, Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, and Yu-Gi-Oh!, as well as table top games like Dungeons & Dragons.
