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.

Only time I was invited there, I got turned away at the door because I had jeans on. Mind you, they were white jeans, so probably they made the right sartorial decision… hope you had fun!
