About Shelagh:
Shelagh Cummins understands about frazzled parenting. In fact, she lives it. She is continually seeking out helpful and practical parenting ideas from friends (both online and in person) and family. Though her bookcase is lined with great parenting books, she sheepishly admits that despite her best intentions, she rarely reads past page 30. There simply isn’t the time or mental energy left at the end of a day. As a result, she developed practicalmum.com to fill the void of quick, simple, and effective parenting ideas out there. She knows you don’t have the time to read lengthy and wordy articles. She knows the parenting style spectrum is massive, and she knows you are the best parent for your child. So she brings you… A fast growing collection of helpful and practical parenting ideas… all at your fingertips.
