Welcome to my site!  On my blog, I discuss everything from motherhood to marketing to the medical mayhem that the Mostyn family seems to experience on a regular basis. I’ve got two teenagers so the motherhood part is obvious and you can find more details about my professional marketing qualifications below. I hope you enjoy your time on my site. Opinions and observations on this blog are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my employers.
