Journey to Mumpreneur

Ellie and I on Christmas Day A little about me Hi, I am Leanne, a new mummy aged 29. Our baby girl is our rainbow baby after an early miscarriage last year.

He has to be in any little space he can to get close to me, even now when I am feeding baby, he will give her headbutt kisses. He loves playing fetch with things that rustle.

It included things like being spat on and pushed into a road, having feet stuck out when walking by in classes in an attempt to trip me up and whispers during PE classes. I cried numerous times and it never really got better despite the efforts of the Teachers. I had a few career options in mind from being a Beautician to an Occupational Therapist, they couldn't be more different I know! One thing I was never really aware of was how to have my own business. I decided aga...

Welcome to my Blog - My Inspiration Hi, welcome to my Blog! Thank you for visiting! This is a new world to me but I am very excited. I was inspired by the reality of  becoming a mum and running my own businesses. My baby girl is now almost 9 weeks old and I am planning my return to business. I am so excited to share my experiences in the hope of being a source of information for women who are first time mums or mums already in business or starting one! What a wonderful thing this is, I hope to make you laugh, cry and to inspire you I will share a little more about me in the next two posts. Leanne x
