Taking the fear out of parenting a teenager

Hi! I’m Helen.

I’m a lifestyle blogger and a (sometimes terrified) mum of two teenagers who are leaving me in the dust faster than you can say empty nest. Some days I survive on really good coffee. I love bright colours, a good gossip, and clothes shopping with my girl – she’s my very own personal stylist! I’m #50NotOut, going up a gear in life now my kids are older – who’s with me?
