Hi, I’m Lucy, a 40 year old mum of two from Birmingham. A memory maker, tradition keeper, stationery addict and book lover. HR Advisor by day, content writer and sleep deprived Mama by night!
Here you can expect to find honest and impartial reviews of products and services that make parents’ lives easier. Thanks for stopping by – feel free to have a look around!
As a parenting blogger who gets involved with a lot of product reviews, as well as having my own festive themed business The Advent Shop, we have fairly regular visits from our postman! Most the time, the post is for me, but when the Smyths Toys catalogue arrived...
Asda have today issued an urgent RECALL on a product from their Little Angels baby food range after plastic was discovered in one of their meals. The beef and potato stew (suitable from 12 months plus) was from a batch with the use by date of September 18th 2018. If...
Last week marked a big change in the Real Mum Reviews household, as after 13 long months on maternity leave I returned to work *sob*. Not only have I had one child start nursery as the other starts school, but also threw a brand new job into the equation just to make...

Welcome back to Hump Day Linky and thanks for joining me on my weekly linky to celebrate Hump Day - the middle of the week, and the downhill journey to the weekend! This week is a massive change for this household! Today is my first day back at work and I say Goodbye...

Last week my baby girl turned one. The last 12 months have passed in a bit of a blur, but we have loved every minute of having her in our lives. Deciding what to buy for her first milestone birthday was quite the challenge, but helped a little by the fact that her...
After 13 wonderful months, I am fast approaching the end of my maternity leave. As Neve is my second child, this is my last maternity leave, my last baby and my last prolonged period of time 'off' until I retire (most likely!). It is a very surreal feeling. I am so...
