My new Blog

Hi everyone, 

Hope you're all keeping well and staying safe. 

I cannot believe it has been 3 years since my last blog post. It's fair to say that life got super busy for me and it was near impossible for me to find the time to put pen to paper. Back then, I was just starting out in my promoted role at Quidco as Head of CRM. I then got married, moved house and now I'm a first time mum. 

So here I am, off on maternity leave and thought that there was no better time then to start blogging again. Writing has always been a passion of mine, particularly writing about being a graduate and kick starting my career. However, this time, I'm not blogging about that, instead I'm blogging about the lifestyle changes that I'm making now that I'm a new mum. If that sounds like it could be your vibe, then come check out my new blog - A Mummy Lifestyle blog.
