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.

Settling into winter – from flexible working to date nights
I'm writing this in Maison Blanc, nestled in the window, watching people bustling through the rain down the street. Fridays are my day for catching up on blogging and having a bit of respite from the hamster wheel that … Continue reading
