Motherhood and Celebrity: Author of Your Guilty Secret discusses putting life experience at the heart of your writing
Mar 10 2019
A fellow mother once told me that when she goes out with her four kids, she dresses them all in bright colours. “Just so I can see where they are at a glance.” Ah – I thought to myself. Good idea. I must do that. But as soon as the thought entered my brain, it had filtered out again. Probably to be replaced by important information such as when the next series of Killing Eve was out.
The Royal Windsor Horse Show becomes a family affair 8-12 May 2019
Mar 09 2019
I love Britain in Spring because it hosts so many events where I can show off my posh outfits and hats. I usually go to Ascot Racecourses but this year I particularly look forward to attend the Royal Windsor Horse Show in May with my uber-talented friend and blogger Vicki of the Honest Mum. The Royal Windsor Horse Show will celebrate its largest ever prize fund making it a record-breaking year for the action-packed, five-day world-class equestrian Show. I am a big fan of horses, but I like to dress up so every excuse to do so is welcome (giggle, giggle).

Motherhood, celebrity culture, and social media – how to raise children in the social media age
Mar 07 2019
I woke up the other night to my three-year old son having a full on nightmare. His small body arched across the bed in his Batman pyjamas, he was trying to punch an invisible force in front of him. I couldn’t get him to wake up for a while. When I did, he sobbed into my arms that there was a bad snake, trying to eat him. Bad snake? How weird. I couldn’t think of any snakes we’d come across recently. Until then some more words popped out his mouth. “Ninjago, Mummy. It was from Ninjago.” Damn, I thought – was Ninjago inappropriate? His brother is older than him and, I’m ashamed to admit – the television sometimes goes unsupervised.
