Podcasting Mums

The summer may have come to an end but it’s a week of new beginnings here at Mumcentric. Yes, we’re back after our season’s break and this week we’re chatting about what we’ve been up to on those long, lazy days.  More specifically we hear from Darina on her family’s escapade in Egypt, and some of the whacky gadgets and gizmos she’s come across over the last couple of weeks.

Meanwhile, would you know if your child was taking drugs? Are  you familiar with the signs and symptoms of drug abuse? It’s a subject that parents should get to grips with, according to Community Substance Abuse Counsellor, Hilary Nolan, who this week tells us communication between parent and child is the key to winning the war against illegal drug abuse.

We also look at the latest events across the water in the race for the US Presidency, with the surprise Republican nomination of Sarah Palin, running for Vice-President.  And finally, with thousands of students and families around Ireland heading to ‘Big School’ for the first time this week, we reflect on the marking of our own family milestones as D-Day dawned.

Enjoy the show!

This week’s podcast comes from the Family Show which took place at the RDS  on Sunday, where we take a trip around the exhibition and chat with founder of Claphandies.com, Liza Crotty. This enthusiastic Mumpreneur is bursting with projects for families- including the popular Play Labs taking place in Dublin and Wicklow, as well as pediatric first aid and nutritional courses.

We hear from Liza on how she discovered how to ‘play’ with the birth of her daughter, as well as the future of her business.

And we give our take on buying property abroad, movie reviews and much more. Enjoy the show and feel free to leave us a comment in the fields below!
