I talk a lot about motherhood, chaos, and family life here, but every now and then it’s nice to let you get to know the person behind the blog — that’s me, Ashleigh. So here’s a little snapshot of who I am, beyond the school runs and snack negotiations.
What’s your favourite animal?
Donkeys. They’re gentle, stubborn, and honestly, they make me smile every time I see one. Plus, their big ears and expressive faces? Adorable. Definitely my spirit animal.
Favourite dessert?
Cherry pie all the way. There’s just something about that perfect mix of sweet and tart that hits the spot every time. Bonus points if it’s warm with custard.
Dream holiday destination?
Somewhere warm with a beach, good food, and zero questions about where someone’s shoes have gone. To visit the Maldives, is my ultimate dream though.
Tea or coffee?
Tea wins, specifically a strong cuppa Yorkshire Tea. Coffee is great and all, but nothing beats the comfort of a proper brew in my favourite (sports direct) mug.
Favourite way to spend a quiet evening?
In the bath with a Lush bubble bar — candles lit, no one interrupting me, just some blissful me-time soaking away the chaos. Absolute heaven.
One random fact about you?
I’m a midwife and a hobby photographer, so I’ve been lucky enough to witness some of life’s biggest moments up close — from new babies to photographing charity events (and meeting some local celebrities).
Why did you start Daring Daughterhood?
Because motherhood is a beautiful mess, and I wanted a space that’s honest, supportive, and a little bit funny. Life with kids isn’t perfect, and neither am I — but that’s exactly why this journey is worth sharing.
So that’s me in a nutshell: a donkey-loving, cherry pie-eating, Yorkshire Tea-drinking mum who’s figuring it all out one bubble bath at a time. Welcome to the chaos — I’m glad you’re here.
