New Blog

Hi Everyone

Since giving birth to my gorgeous baby boy Oliver I’ve taken a break from blogging – as I’ve had my hands full!

I’ve now set up a new lifestyle blog – http://www.highheelsandbabywheels.com where you’ll find posts on life with a young baby, yummy recipes, fashion and beauty.

Please feel free to pop over and check it out.

Thank you to all my subscribers and I hope you’ll follow me at High Heels and Baby Wheels.

Exciting news – I’m pregnant!!!

Me and my fiancée Jay are very excited to announce that we are expecting a baby in late August.
