14 years ago I was in demand as a woman in tech. I ran a review site for consumer gadgets, and got involved in multiple tech roundtables to help shape how companies marketed to supported women. I was even recognised for my work, being named as a “Remarkable Woman” and winning awards. I worked on…
This admission might surprise you all! Despite my seemingly confident, outgoing and bubbly personality, I struggle daily with my confidence and self-esteem. This took a turn for the worst back in February when I lost my best friend to the big C… Cancer. Grief I have been on quite the journey since the death of…
Tough Week The Misfit Mum: So the past week or so has been very busy. Emotionally it’s been a bit of a roller-coaster. Boo is having a ball at his new school, but this week had an altercation which has completely set off my anxiety. I’ve always had a bit of a complex when it…
A couple of weeks ago I was invited celebrate a year of the Premier League Primary Stars programme. The event was so inspiring and until that evening, I wasn’t aware of how much went on behind the scenes. I had seen a few tweets about the programme when it first launched in March 2017, but…

After having my National Trust membership for over a year and a half now, I finally managed to use it for the first time today… Yes, the FIRST time! Shame on me! I signed up with the best intentions of making regular visits to the amazing National Trust places in Surrey and surrounding areas, but for…
So, it’s been an absolutely crazy week for me. A few weeks back I applied to be a content creator for one of my all time favourite brands, Ju Ju Be. I worked really hard on producing a reasonably acceptable video, which with limited knowledge and a bag of nerves was difficult. On top of…
It’s almost that week of madness and lets be honest, the weather isn’t really looking THAT great! Soft play is going to be heaving and you want to do something with your little one… What to do?! If, like me, you love being creative with your little one, I have the perfect solution for you: Squiggle…
I have re-written this post a few times already… It keeps evolving and sometimes I find it hard to put my thoughts into words. Confidence is hard to talk about sometimes! I feel that by ‘opening up’, I’m actually leaving myself open to negative response. But anyone who shares any thing on the internet must be happy…
