Our Story

MUM’s Office conceived in 2006, when founder Emma Fletcher—then a mum of three living in London—found herself in the thick of family life. Three children quickly became four, and as any parent knows, the busier the family, the more there is to juggle.

It was after the birth of her third child that Emma realised something had to change. The daily chaos of nap times, school runs, after-school clubs, birthday parties, and playdates needed more than just mental notes and scraps of paper. She needed a way to bring some calm to the chaos—a way to feel more in control of the family schedule.

At the time, most diaries were designed with just one person in mind. But mums don’t manage just their own time—we manage everyone’s. What was missing was a diary that worked the way families work. A place for multiple schedules, reminders, to-do lists, and even meal planning—all in one.

And so, MUM’s Diary was born with it's unique GRID layout. It was the first product from MUM’s Office, and it quickly became an essential tool for keeping the whole household on track - WHO, WHERE, WHEN.

Emma soon realised that it wasn't just mums who needed help organising family life.  With dads, grandparents, child minders, nannies, older siblings all involved, our products evolved: The BIG Family Diary, The Weekly Family Calendar and even our FAMILY To Do List.  It is a family effort!

MUM’s Office has grown—just like the families we support—and now includes a full collection of beautiful, useful and practical organisational tools to help keep busy homes running smoothly.  Our BLOX Stationery brand evolved too because we recognised that our unique GRID layout had a life of it's own outside of family life, It's all about the GRID!

We believe that when life gets busy, a little planning can make a big difference—and that organisation is the secret weapon of busy lives.
