Hi, I’m Chiswick Mum
-
I'm passionate about local life and making the most of living here, and of this great city that we live in.
London is such a great place to be a parent - and here in the leafy edge of the big smoke I feel really blessed to spend my days living, loving and parenting.
I live with my wonderful seven-year-old Chiswick Boy, and his dad Chiswick Daddy. Together we have adventures out and about, peppered with crafting and pyjamas days.
I don't get it right all the time. I work outside the home four days a week and the first thing to get ditched is generally the housework.

That was my Chiswick Easter Weekend
It was a blowy Easter weekend. My heart went out to the poor mother that lost her daughter on the bouncy castle. The pain and agony that she is feeling – and the anguish that so many mothers feel every … Continue reading

Kids unplugged: a London weekend
Been ogling over photos of my nephew – even though we were there the previous weekend (which I blogged about) it seems like ages since I've had a cuddle. And at this age (a week old!) they seem to change … Continue reading

Netflix, pyjamas and board games – January hibernation
These last couple of weeks I've not been doing much blogging about Chiswick, West London and family things to do. January is firmly for hibernation in my book. Our lives at the weekend and evenings consist of wearing pyjamas as … Continue reading
