About me
I’m Jacqui – a 40+ journalist, blogger and mum to two funny & spirited girls; Big Sis, born summer 2008, and Lil Sis, born autumn 2010.
We live just outside London and are about to embark on a big, messy, long-awaited home renovation.
I was a magazine journalist for 20 years, but since 2009 I’ve been a full-time blogger and digital influencer (over 21,000+ Twitter followers, 5,000+ Facebook likes, 3,500+ G+ circles, 3,000 Instagram and 2,400+ Pinterest followers).
