How did you start your blog and where did you find the inspiration from?

I have been blogging for a few years now on different platforms and during my pregnancy with my son but it was only when he was around 3 months old that I

discovered the community of parent blogging and that's when The Mummy Life was born!

Your son is turning 2 soon, what do you have planned for his birthday?

As he's still little we are not planning a big party as it would be too much for him but we are taking him to soft play which he LOVES and will let him have cake and

sweets which he doesn't normally have, then as is valentines day we will be having a meal with his grandparents in the evening.

Tell us about any nicknames you have for your little one?

We have many nicknames for him, Lu, lulee, lubee, lulu but his nickname from my blog 'rocket' came about as my Aunty calls him Rocket-Bum as he never stops!

One thing you know you shouldn't let your child do but you allow it anyways.

We got into the habit of letting him watch DVDs at bedtime, mostly Little Einsteins and Pocoyo. Alot of parents are against TVs in children's rooms but we found it helped. Now he's a bit older we have stopped TV at night as he doesn't wind down properly.

Talk about one thing you're convinced your child has inherited from you.

Hmmmm, probably his love of sleep! We are lucky as once he's asleep he will usually stay asleep and for ages! (though getting him to go to sleep is another subject!)

Do you and LB ever match or would you ever consider doing that?

There are times where we have all gone out wearing the same colours but obviously as he's a boy it's harder to match, but his daddy has a Tshirt exactly the same as him! If I had a little girl id love to match!

What makes you a LatteMama?

Love of individuality, style and comfort!

How has motherhood changed you and your style?

I find I wear more comfort clothes now I'm a mum, but it's also nice to get glammed up occasionally to remind yourself you're more than just 'mum'.

If there's one advice you can give to new mothers what would it be?

Learn as you go along. Trust your own instincts and parent how YOU want.

What are your future projets, and goals?

I'd love to do photography full time professionally, also I make films and would like to continue with that. Alongside trying for another latte-baby!

If you could choose one piece of clothing from LatteMama for your little one, what would it be?

I love the stripy tights! You can do so much to make an outfit with them!
