Hi I’m Sarah and welcome to my blog.
I live in London with my husband Monty, baby girl Matilda and 2 smelly cats Barney and Roy.
The husband and me. Both a bit squiffy I suspect.
I started this blog 6 months into maternity leave when my husband tried to have a vaguely intellectual conversation with me and I realised that my brain had turned to mush after one too many episodes of Come Dine With Me and one too many renditions of ‘The wheels on the bus’.
Initially I was reluctant to define it as a ‘mum’ blog – it was intended as an ‘escape’ from all the mothering shenanigans, however given I spend virtually all day every day doing mum-stuff I can’t help but blog about it and actually find it’s become one of my favorite subject matters. But I do try and blog about my other interests too, namely fitness, current affairs, fashion and days out.
When I’m not on maternity leave I work for women’s magazines, beginning my career at Conde Nast working on the flagship Vogue magazine before moving to Time Inc to work on their women’s lifestyle magazines and currently on HELLO! Magazine. Along side the day job I have also work as a freelance copywriter and have a large and varied portfolio encompassing FMCG, fashion and beauty brands, sportswear retailers and travel companies. To discuss copywriting work do get in touch via the ‘Contact’ page.
