I'm writing my second non-fiction book called 'Mummy’s Boy', it's a lighthearted, but at times serious look at the unique relationship between a mum and her son; from the first moment they lock eyes, to the last breath.

I've got lots of questions and would love it if you'd help me find some answers. I've compiled a survey asking questions about your relationship with your son and your hopes for the future. Please be as honest and frank as you like. If you're happy for me to contact you after the survey closes then please email your contact details to helen@scribbleaway.com

The article looks at how easy it is to get bitten by the Pilates bug, like many celebs have including Rear of the Year for 2011, Pippa Middleton.

Unlike many other disciplines, Pilates easily fits into your everyday life, you don’t need a certain level of fitness to get started or enjoy it and the rewards from it can improve every area of your life.

Forget buying any swanky, expensive equipment just a towel or mat and two water bottles for hand weights and you can easily practise at home what you've learnt in a class.

I’m definitely no Madonna or Gwyneth Paltrow but I love it, give it ago.

I’ve been toying with the idea of writing another book since Bridal Moments went to print. Three years on and I’m still scribbling down comments and ideas on what people say about raising boys. From the good to the bad to the down right ugly, everyone has got something to say about how to turn a little boy into a grown man; whether they have had first hand experience or not.

I’ve scoured the bookshelves both on and off line and there doesn’t seem to be anything out there that talks about what it’s actually like to bring up a little boy and how your relationship with this little chap changes and evolves over the years, solely from the standpoint of a mum.

The world focuses on the mother/daughter relationship or the father/relationship – so I’ve decided to give the mother/son relationship some air time.

I’m looking to speak to mums of all ages with sons of all ages from all walks of life from all over the world. 

I want funny stories, sad stories, embarrassing stories – all about living everyday life as a mum and a son.
