About me…
- I’m Gill, an early-thirtysomething first-time mum to the lovely Eliza, who made a speedy entrance to the world in early 2012 (you can read her birth story here). We live with my husband Alex in south London, in one of the Lonely Planet’s greatest little-known neighbourhoods
- A Baby on Board is all about my life in London as a new mum, covering everything around bringing up a toddler in London, from our life and style, through to baby clothes, beauty products and breastfeeding
- I love to write and have blogged on and off for years; I started A Baby on Board so I could record all about my pregnancy (you can see a time-lapse in my nine months in bump shots and blog posts post)
- I’m a freelance digital PR consultant and writer; pre-maternity leave I worked for a Soho-based digital PR agency on campaigns for major brands including Weight Watchers, innocent drinks, Samsung and Bravissimo
- I currently edit and contribute to TalkMum, the parenting community supported by Pregnacare
- I miss sleep!
