About me
I’m Jacqui – a 40+ freelance journalist & lifestyle blogger.
I’ve been a magazine features writer for over 20 years, and in 2009 became one of the UK’s original ‘Mummy Bloggers’.
I’m proud mum to two funny & spirited girls; born summer 2008 and autumn 2010, and we all live just outside London with OH and our youngest baby – a miniature dachshund, named Frankie.

You know us bloggers – as soon as I saw the field, I thought ‘PHOTO!’, haha! x
Beautiful! I never manage to find fields like this to take such fabulously iconic photos. She looks a bit cheeky sneaky through there.
Nipping over from #MySundayPhoto
Haha! I was actually panicking a bit that an angry farmer was going to come careering around the corner on his combine harvester, shouting at us to ‘Get off my land!’. Luckily the coast remained clear. 😉
OOOhhh always dream of having a photo in the fields too cuz it looks fun =) #mysundayphoto
Me too!!!! It was slightly more scratchy than I’d imagined, but visually it was so amazing it was worth all the shin scrapes, haha! xx
This is a simply stunning shot!
What a perfect summer holiday shot 🙂 #blowyourownbloghorn
