A bit about me:
I am 33 years old and live with my wonderful husband, Matt, who I married in June 2021! I am mum to our wonderful baby girl, Evie, who was born in July 2022. I am a tea-drinker, a foodie, a dog-mum to a beautiful Sprollie called Murphy, and a lover of theatre and music.
I qualified as a Midwife in September 2019 and have been working as a fully qualified Midwife at a UK hospital since October 2019.
I run a blog over at www.agirlonajou..., in which I have documented my training to be a midwife as well as all things lifestyle, food and wedding. I continue to post regularly on there so please do check it out!
