Congratulations are in order for Sultanat and Ayesha – our lovely moms – on the birth of their precious baby daughters Zaria and Aimen. These two moms were amongst some of our earliest fans on Facebook.

Nell McAndrew says, being mum to my two-year-old son Devon is the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do. She feels that it’s incredibly flattering to have been named Tesco magazine Celebrity Mum of the Year.

Nothing prepares you for having children

You suddenly have all this extra responsibility. I’m lucky that I have family and good friends who were there to support me. I’ve got two brothers and an older sister, and we’re still quite close as a family.

We were always being told ‘we can’t afford it’ as kids. My dad, Ted, worked seven days a week as he had six mouths to feed. My mum, Nancy, had three or four part-time jobs, as well as trying to raise a family. I don’t know how she did it. (more…)

She looked utterly regal — and, in retrospect, utterly tragic. Who could resist such pageantry, such drama? (more…)

According to Newsweek (Sep 9, 1997), even Diana’s critics praise the way she raised her boys (http://www.newsweek.com/id/96916). Hats off to a mother who will be missed by the world – most of all her precious boys!

How Will They Cope In The Years Ahead?

Sunday was supposed to be a day of reunion. After a month at the white granite Balmoral Castle in Scotland, Prince William and Prince Henry were to head back to London for a liberal dose of hugs and kisses from their mother before leaving for boarding school. (more…)

Angelina Jolie gave birth to twins in July 2008, bringing the Pitt-Jolie brood to a grand total of six

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were featured in the 2008 TIME 100 List for their continued efforts at actually trying to change things instead of merely talking about the world’s problems. Angelina Jolie is the Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency. She has won three Golden Globe Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and an Academy Award for her outstanding acting abilities.
