First you need a large serving, let’s say a dish, of Mary Poppins
Mary Poppins = Firm yet fun. Organised yet spontaneous. Direct yet understanding. Imaginative yet realistic. Able to love the moment yet see the future.
Next you need to lace the mix with a dose of Pollyanna.
Pollyanna = A happy heart. Pollyanna’s ‘The Glad Game’ aligns itself nicely to the Love the Moment concept. The idea is to find something to be glad about in every situation.
Now you can’t really be a Fun Mum unless you add a dash of Willy Wonka.
Willy Wonka = A little crazy. A little bit of mystery, a little bit of spontaneity and a little bit of craziness goes a long way.

August 15, 2010 at 6:46 pmGreat post – I’m a huge fan of Mary Poppins and Willy Wonka (especially the new one!) it’s funny to imagine a person who’s a bit of each of those but I suppose it would work even though I have a funny image in my head!
