Hi, I'm Natalie

I love food, not making just eating. I am no chef (just ask my family) but I will happily eat whatever is put in front of me. I love pasta and pizza the most although I have a constant craving for cake. I'll eat almost everything except seafood - fish is not my friend.

I've been blessed with 3 beautiful daughters aged 14, 5 and a newborn. They're chaotic, stroppy rays of sunshine and I love being their mum.

Elsa is a white husky with piercing blue eyes, she was called Elsa after the Frozen character by myself not my daughter! She's 10 with all the energy of a puppy and an absolute nightmare to walk on and off lead - any tips are greatly appreciated!

I love to travel, kid-free city breaks are my thing. The girls would only moan about their legs aching and how bored they are so we decided it's best to stick to all inclusive family holidays where they can enjoy themselves (happy kids, happy parent's am I right?). Italy is my absolute favourite place to go, although Spain is a close second - I may be basing those choices entirely on the food though..

I enjoy getting stuck into a good book, not that I get much chance these days. A story that takes you to another life, another world. I love a book that captures me and takes me on adventures to new places. It takes me quite some time to find a good book but once I have on I'm glued. If you have any recommendations I'd love to hear them!
