About Me

Hello! I'm Lucy - a 40-something year-old working mum of 3 keeping it real. Join me for hints, tips, rants and lols as I wing it through parenthood.

I’m a Blogger in the UK who helps parents to feel more normal by sharing the reality of parenting. You’ll find real, authentic talk about menopause, my 'fucket list', post natal mental health, allergies, special needs and neurodiversity, pregnancy, breastfeeding and lots more.

My posts will make you cry, laugh, and feel like you’re not alone. Learn more about Real Parent, and contact me here.

PPS, listen to REAL talk on my 3 births on the Emma's Diary Podcast on Spotify!
