In this edition of Inspiring Interviews, I wanted to chat to someone who's main job is to helping and coaching others. As an entrepreneur myself, I've often leaned on my friend, Olympic Athlete, Steve Backley OBE many times for coaching advice. At times when I have turned around and [...]
Ditch the Guilt and add Self-Care
When I was pregnant with my first child, people consistently reminded me to take time for self-care. But, in truth, self-care was not even on my radar at the time. I was still sitting at my office desk at forty weeks pregnant and it was business as usual. It [...]
It’s Official – Women Need More Sleep
I think we could all agree that the Christmas break was a good time to have a lie-in. Oh yeah. I spoke to so many people in early January about the festive break and how it had given them time to 'slow-down' and stop rushing around for a short [...]
Festive Cocktails with Sipsmith Gin
Tis the season to be jolly, and there’s no better way to ensure that than with a cheeky helping of gin. This is the second time I have collaborated with Sipsmith and that is because they really are a super, lovely bunch! I love the story of how this [...]

Top Tips for Fun Family Meals at Christmas (even Fussy Eaters)
Hands up if you have a fussy eater in your house? I do. In fact, I have two. One day they love sandwiches, the next day they don’t. If I offer them a shepherd’s pie they give me a look as if I am trying to poison them (which, [...]
Christmas Overwhelm
The festive period. Love it or loathe it, the long December is here and the Christmas music is already ringing in my ears. When I was younger, maybe the pace was slower back then. One tree, one car, one dinner, us kids entertained ourselves all day – or maybe [...]
Why Children Should Go for Gold
The sack race was always a tricky one. We all have a master plan of how it is going to come off but many of simply fell flat on our faces. I’m sure I was one of those kids. Probably a mini Bridget Jones of the primary school world. [...]
Winter Recharge with Champneys
After a mild October, the winter nights are finally starting to set it. I made the misjudgement of going into London the other week without a coat and it was a mistake. Very chilly! So, as the dark evenings draw in we start to think about…Christmas. Yes, I’ve said [...]
Winter Sun with Solmar Villas
You don’t have to take a long flight to enjoy balmy temperatures in October through to December. It could be the perfect time to check out the Canary Islands for some winter sun. I don’t know about you, but I see an upward trend in families deciding to escape [...]

I popped in for a coffee with Marina Fogle at her London home to talk all things parenthood, building kids confidence and of course maternal guilt. Marina kindly invited me to be a guest on her podcast called The Parent Hood which is brilliant. Please do have a listen [...]

How lucky am I that I can finally add my friend to the inspiring interview series one. Michelle and I were put in touch with each other through our mutual friend, Steve Backley OBE. Steve had told me that I simply must meet Michelle as that he was confident [...]
Family Ski with Hyatt Centric in La Rosière
We are big fans of skiing in our household. Probably because it is one of the only sports we can all do together as a family of four. I am delighted to be collaborating with the Hyatt Centric hotel to talk about their hotel in La Rosière, France. [...]
A Tour of Sipsmith Gin Distillery
I thought I was dreaming. An email dropped into my inbox that I am so grateful it didn't fall into my junk folder. It was from Rob, the Social Media Manager at Sipsmith (yes that is a real job these days). He invited me and a few friends to [...]
Going off Grid
I was talking to my husband about this log cabin in Sweden for family holidays which has no Wi-Fi and no charging points. It is designed to help you unplug yourself as a family and say a fond farewell to technology (well, for a short time anyway). I'm thinking [...]
Lisbon City with Martinhal
Thought a city break with kids wasn’t possible? Think again. We travelled to Lisbon with Martinhal Family Hotels and Resorts, which has changed our perception of city breaks with kids. I know there’s plenty of amazing cities out there from Paris to Barcelona to the wonder of London. Somehow, [...]

I caught up with Caroline Millington, an award-winning journalist who is digital producer for ITV show, Loose Women. She works alongside producers and is responsible for all the viewer interaction. I hope Caroline won’t mind me saying so, but she’s very good at her job. In 2017, she was [...]

I first heard about Martinhal Family Hotels and Resorts through a few friends who had been before. One had stayed at the Sagres resort in the Algarve and the other had been hereat the Martinhal Cascais resort. I distinctly remember thinking that the photos looked divine. We feel very [...]
Instagram Made Me Do It
I recently had an amazing wardrobe detox with my friend and personal stylist, Victoria Genevieve Styling. It was a truly emotional but liberating experience. She cleared out my wardrobe, organising my clothes into some kind of order for work, casual daytime, party and special occasions. Quite a few items [...]
