It’s hard to believe that it’s July with the weather we’re having, but we’re not letting it get us down here on Mumcentric.  On show 17 we’re talking about comical videos that got us giggling this week, particularly one that sees a Work-at-home-mum seek refuge from her children in various hiding spots around the house.

We also catch up with Caroline Carswell, whose site www.irishdeafkids.ie is proving a hit with Irish parents of deaf children. Having successfully attended mainstream school and third-level education herself, Caroline is determined that other children with hearing difficulties have the same opportunity. And that their parents have support in helping their children reach their full potential.

And don’t forget there’s still time to enter our competition and win some goodies! You’ll hear Darina mention the clue in the beginning of the podcast  (ssshhh don’t tell her I told you that!)- all you need to do is fill out the entry form at the top right-hand corner of the page. It couldn’t be any simpler!

Enjoy the show!

It’s all about girl-power this week as we hear how an enthusiastic bunch of Connaught women are looking for a place in the Guinness Book of Records by forming the longest chain of bras ever! And it’s all in aid of two very worthwhile causes.

Indeed the chicks behind the ‘Irish Bra Chain for Cancer‘ campaign are determined to make history by forming a chain of more than 117,000 bras in Mayo in early November next.

On this week’s show we hear from spokeswoman, Louise Killeen, of www.irishbrachainforcancer.com, who urges Irish women to scrummage through their drawers and donate a bra, in a bid to not only smash the record, but to also raise money for Cancer Care West and Mayo Cancer Support Association.

And as we celebrate our 1000th download of the Mumcentric Podcast we launch our first competition, the details, and answer of which is all revealed in the show.

So have a listen, enjoy the show and you might just win some goodies!

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!
