A little about me…

I’m a born and bred proud Geordie who returned back up to my native North East after a four-year stint living in lovely Lincolnshire.

In July 2019, I became a first time mammy to our beautiful daughter Elsie. You can follow my updates throughout my pregnancy in my pregnancy diaries series. I also share my journey through motherhood and parenting on the blog too.

I’m an NCTJ trained journalist who has spent the last few years working my way up the communications and PR ladder.

You can find out more about whyĀ I made the move from journalism to the dark side of PR here.

I turned thirty in November 2018 and set myself some goals to try to achieve before my big birthday which you can see here.

I’m happily married to my amazing husband Steve. I shared some of the lessons I’ve learnt after three years of marriage which you can read here.

There’s a few posts be about the trials and tribulations of married life too such as how an innocent trip to IKEA inspired a couples survival post, you can check that out here.

I post usually on Sunday mornings and I’m happy to guest blog too – just ask!

I’m also happy to do collaborations and sponsored posts too. Please visit my contact/work with me page for more information.

I hope you enjoy my posts and please feel free to leave your thoughts and feedback and of course pleaseĀ get in touch.
