I’m Amanda, the one on the left. I don’t have whiskers, well not ones I admit to anyway.
This blog is all about my family, two girls aged 9 and 3, and two thirty something parents! I chose to call this blog The ‘Ana’ Mum Diary as I wanted to use our initials… a little bit of each of us. I hope this reflects that this blog is all about US!
I started this blog off, as a way of documenting our life. I have been amazed at all the positive things that have come out of it. I have worked with some fantastic bloggers on campaigns, as well as some really brilliant companies including John Lewis, Early Leaning Centre, Merci Maman, Hotel Chocolat and Tesco Books.
I think that my blog is very varied, and try to offer real interest my readers.
I am reliable, professional, diligent and my posts are I think most importantly fun! My readers have been incredibly supportive and offer fantastic feedback and comments.
So here goes, I will jump in with both feet and tell you all, a diary of a family…..my two daughters a Mum and very Tall Dad!
