Position
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!
At 6 months, Neve is now getting to the age where she has begun to play. Actually play. It is so lovely to watch. In recent weeks, she has become fascinated by shapes, colours and texture, and loves nothing more than to reach out and touch, pull, or feel the world...
I have recently accepted the fact that I can't keep every single item of clothing that the girls have ever worn. As sentimental as I may be, I have to accept the fact that Neve is, (unless anything significant changes!), my last baby, and as such, the hoards and...

I recently read about the sense of loneliness many women felt when they became a Mum, and could completely relate. The research published by the Co-op and the British Red Cross identified six key life events that can lead to someone becoming lonely, of which becoming...

It is very rare these days that I get to have a bit of 'me time'. I have very very long hair - and as a result, it is tied back in a "messy hair don't care" bun the majority of the time. Something I promised myself for 2017 was that I would invest a little bit more in...
Something super exciting is happening in Birmingham this Summer, and here at Real Mum Reviews, we were super excited to be invited to a behind the scenes press event to get a sneak peak of what is coming! 🙂 Over 150 professionals from across the city attended...
