About

Welcome to Mums Off Duty

The juggle is real. You want to be a great mum, a loving partner, and excel at work. But it’s tough out there. You may have the very best intentions but more often than not, life gets in the way. Cue that pesky mum-guilt!

Mums Off Duty is all about helping you to find balance. It’s not about leading the perfect life – that doesn’t exist. But I promise you that if you can find more balance in your life, and you do more of the stuff that you love and that feeds your soul, you will feel happier, stronger, and more confident.

Believe me when I say that taking care of you is part of taking care of your family.

A little about me…

I’m mum to eight-year-old Ethan and wifey of nine years to Tom (although we have known each other since we were 12!).

My passion is writing. I’ve spent most of my career in PR and communications jobs, where writing has been a big part of my work and the bit that I’ve always loved the most. I now work part-time as a sales administrator in estate agency which fits in perfectly around the school day and allows me to pursue my other love – houses!

Two things that are very important to me (aside from my family, obviously) are eating and sleeping. If I don’t eat regularly, I get hangry. If I don’t get enough sleep, then I’m just a mess (and not even a hot one). So I guess some days, I’m just a hangry mess!

It took a leap of faith to create this blog – it’s always hard to put yourself out there – but now that I have, Mums Off Duty is my new baby. And if I can inspire you to invest more in yourself, then this blog is totally worth the hours I put in.

I’ve got your back

I’m here to help you find the balance that works best for you and your family. It will be different for everyone.
