About me
London-based travel and parenting inspiration for mums with young children
Mum About London is a new lifestyle blog. With it, I aim to showcase lots of lovely things that mums can do with their babies and toddlers in London, as well as further afield.
I had my first child in October 2022 and found maternity leave to be the most magical yet personally challenging time of my life. For much of it, I felt quite isolated. However, I found that things improved immensely once I forced myself to get out of the house and explore London with my little boy.
After that, I made it my mission to uncover and chronicle the city’s countless opportunities for adventure with my new sidekick in tow.
With a second child came an even greater need to hone my parenting and seek out further inspiration for travel around London (and beyond). I wanted to make sure my daughter had the same opportunities as her older brother, but also for my toddler to be able to enjoy new and even more exciting adventures as he grew.
Lastly, and perhaps most crucially, I continued this mission as a challenge to myself. A vital challenge to see just what was achievable now as a mum with two small children. Which avenues opened up, and where were the obstacles driving me to adapt and grow?
To that end, I continue to blog: to share these experiences with fellow mums navigating similar trials and seeking fresh trails. So to all the new (and renewed) mothers out there reading this, know that I’m right there with you, and eager to offer recommendations, advice and encouragement for your own journey of motherhood.
