{35 at 35 - Talk to Somebody Famous, Check!}

By Glasgow_mummy @glasgow_mummy
Regular readers will know already about my 35 at 35 list, but for my new followers (hi there *waves*) let me fill you in... When I turned 30 back in January 2012 I set myself a target... 35 items for me to complete by the time I turn 35. The other week when the littlest and I met Myleene Klass at the Mothercare St Enoch Centre launch I was able to check off another item, number 19 "talk to somebody famous".

Myleene was so friendly and absolutely beautiful - as you can see from the pics. She's stunning!
Despite the fact that things were running a little later than schedule (her little helper Jessica decided pulling silly faces was better than smiling for the camera!), Myleene and I chatted for a good while about single parenting, achieving a good work/life balance and Myleene's BabyK range that's now in its 12th season in store at Mothercare.
I asked Myleene what would be her advice to any new mums, and her response was concise:
"mama knows best"
We shared experiences about having the confidence to trust your own instinct and Myleene explained that all grown-ups are different and want different things, which is also applicable for children - it can't be expected for any two to behave/want the same. Makes perfect sense to me!  
Myleene said for her the key to a good work/life balance is prioritisation and being organised, and I couldn't agree more. What I didn't realize was that Myleene did the nursery/school run for her two daughters herself - it's reassuring to hear that a hugely successful single working parent can manage it all.
