One smiling, happy, brilliant little boy, who makes me happier than I thought possible. And the other is cooking away in my tummy as I write, a baby girl due in April. Bill has a mother and a father, but we aren't together anymore. But my family was made complete when I was pretty much swept off my feet by my best friend. His name is Mark. The guy makes me swoon. Life wasn't how I expected it to b
e - I'm proof that things don't always go to plan. But really, I'm happy just how things are. This blog follows the life of me and my family, a mixture of motherhood, home improvement, recipes destined to worsen cellulite and memories. And everything else in between. Professionally, I'm a trained journalist and former Group Editor, turned Content Producer. I work for Reason Digital and I get to write for lots of charities and not-for-profit organisations and play a hand in social good, which is brilliant and exciting. I love my job, but sometimes it's nice to put my feet up and write about other things in life too. As well as this blog, and my job, I have a YouTube channel of my own, where I share clips of our life (or things I've just bought). I am also part of Channel Mum, known as 'the honest face of parenting'. You should definitely give them a subscribe! I want to be that mum that proves you can bake your cake, clean up afterwards and share it with your baby too. I think I'm doing an alright job, but sometimes the washing up gets left until later. That's life. You can find me with my nose in a book, my head in the clouds, food in my mouth and my heart on my sleeve. Either that, or sucking my mum-tum in and scrutinising my reflection, singing and cooking up a storm in the kitchen or making my baby do belly laughs by pretending to be a monkey. I'm not a perfect mum. I doubt you'll come on here to be inspired much. But I love to write and it makes me happy. And I'd be quite pleased if you'd join me.
