Mum's Way: A heartbreaking story of family, loss and love

Product Information

Those challenging months forced me to reevaluate life, and I began looking into nutrition to support my healing process and strengthen my immune system. The other day, I had one of those crazy moments whereby I couldn’t bear all the lotions and potions in the bathroom, sprawled across the surfaces and it felt so messy. Her novels have been translated into several languages and she has also contributed two titles (one ghostwritten for television presenter Fiona Phillips) to the UK’s Quick Reads Campaign, which provides easy-to-read books for adult emergent readers. So the hoovering - I just do a really quick whizz around, it takes no more than about 3-4 mins doing the hall, stairs, kitchen, lounge. I could see how much this meant to her and I am so thrilled for her that the book launch is now happening in just a few months time.

It was a weekday and we were getting the younger kids ready for school – always something of a military operation in our house.But then the breast cancer struck and the couple had to accept the possibility that they might not be able to have any more.

It's so restful, knowing that you just need to do what's on the list and then stop, and that that dust you noticed on the bathroom shelves will be tackled on Thursday (or whenever; my days aren't the same as Gemma's). You spend so much of your day running about to complete different tasks when you get home the routine of feeding, washing and trying to encourage your kids to do their homework feels like the day is done.

I sat at my kitchen table and drew it up on a piece of paper and stuck it to my fridge, and I have followed it ever since. But when it refused to go away, and she became breathless as well, she reluctantly agreed to visit the doctor. More or less; there's a bookcase full of knickknacks and family photos in the dining room that I grumble at for the entire 15 minutes it takes to empty it completely, dust it, and put it back together. Bathroom is literally just a wipe round toilet after I go for a pee at some point and a wipe of the sink. It’s not a quick fix or a promise to drop a couple of dress sizes in time for a holiday/wedding or a special birthday.I'm really looking forward to not feeling the need to do a massive clean before putting up christmas, because it'll all be ticking over nicely by then. She freely says it is just what she needed to do in her house at the time so it’s fully adaptable to your house and your needs eg I don’t do my windows or cutlery drawer every week but there are other things I do do that aren’t on her lists. Gemma Bray, aka The Organised Mum and now author, has created her own method for getting the cleaning done in half an hour a day, Monday to Friday, leaving weekends free of chores. Loads of stuff on the walls needing dusting, and the whole cable-spaghetti mess behind the tv stand, which attracts ALL the dust bunnies (though I think I might make that a level 3, it's just such a pain).

Angie and Ian were childhood sweethearts,Angie adored kids and, as one of eight children himself, Ian was only too happy to have as many as they could. If you think your home is in need of some emergency help then maybe start with the 1 Week Boot Camp! She taught him howto makeher special chicken curry, how to soothe away their hurts, pack their lunchboxes with all their favouritesand do all the little things she'd done for them so unthinkingly. Decluttering bit by bit, thoroughly cleaning as I go 😊It's taking ages but I know each bit is clean and sorted and then just needs a little bit of work to keep tidy.I find level 1 hoovering a doddle because we're in a bungalow; having to hoover stairs daily would have me running for the hills.
