This is the strangest of times. In a few weeks (maybe one, maybe three, maybe more…), you will arrive, and everything will change. So much of this in-between time is wonderful, and I’m doing my best to soak it in – sitting out on the balcony watching and feeling you move in my bel
Working with Chupi, an incredible homegrown Irish jewellery brand, has been one of the highlights of the past year. Not just because of the shots we created, which we are all immensely proud of, but because of the brilliant people I get to work with to make them. I’m a huge fan of not ju
Years of working in magazines have turned me into a total research nerd. Whenever a new topic enters my life, I really enjoy diving in and learning as much as I can about it, and pregnancy and imminent baby life has been no different. Like with marriage, there is so much that we simply can’t [&hel

I’m very excited to share that Ben and I are expecting our first child! There’ll be a new member joining our nerd tribe in just three months and we couldn’t be more excited. We found out I was pregnant about a day or two after arriving in Lisbon in December – we were still in

Start where you are. Use what you have. I’m trying to let this lesson sink in, but it’s taking its time. I’m impatient by nature, and can be a bit of a perfectionist about certain things (photos, magazines layouts – yes. hoovered floors, tidy kitchens – not so much). Wh
Well, we’ve almost made it though January! I’ve stumbled across some pretty nice internet recently, so thought I’d share…. “Good journalism about good things”: Eager to check out Positive News magazine. A couple of new (-ish or new to me) podcasts to add to
Ben and I have been slowly, but surely, settling into life here in Lisbon. Just before Christmas, we signed a short lease on a nice, bright apartment near the pretty and historic Graça area and Ben signed up to a great nearby coworking space. It’s very exciting, but it is definitely
