about
I know first-hand that being a Mama is full-on, the juggle-struggle never lets up and the parenting hustle has as many highs as lows. So I set up Harrogate Mama to champion Team Grown-Up, share what real-parenting is like and provide a little inspiration for savvy Mamas, since we’re all doing our best to conquer parenthood!
Having lived in Harrogate all my life, I know it inside out and I love living here! This site was created with modern Mamas like you in mind; as a great place to find out what’s going on locally for families and aims to be your go-to guide for finding perfect family things to do and places to go with the Smalls.
By sharing my blog I hope you’ll discover new brands, businesses and services to enjoy whilst you do the most important job you’ll ever do, raise a family. Trust me, you’re doing great!
hello…
I’m Lucy. I’ve lived in Harrogate all my life. I love my town. I live here with my husband, twin girls (16) and the small boy (10).
I started my working career in PR for Orange working on national UK campaigns. A move into event management for a government agency saw me deliver events at high profile government venues including No. 10 Downing Street and the House of Commons.
During time out to raise my family I founded this lifestyle blog about living in Harrogate, and seven years later I continue to enjoy working with brands from small independents to household names.
I currently work as a marketing manager for two charities across North Yorkshire and the Humber region.
When I’m away from my laptop I can often be found checking out a coffee shop, taking the small boy to the park, dashing to the school run, providing a taxi service to my children around town, catching up on the latest streaming hit, having the occasional night out with like-minded Mamas, baking, taking a trip to an outdoorsy place, bobbing for a spot of shopping or lunch in town and will usually, always be found in Harrogate.
If you’re interested in working with me I’d love to hear from you.
just so you know
Some of my posts are sponsored, and when they are I always clearly disclose that and also say when I’m lucky enough to receive any free samples. I’m always as honest as I can be in my posts, and only feature brands that I think are a perfect fit for what I believe and value.
