About me

Hi, I’m Jess.

I began Lay Low Mama as the UK entered its first lockdown in March 2020, eight weeks into being a new mum. A frustrated writer with a background in corporate comms, my mum suggested blogging might be good for me – and it was! I’ve loved connecting with others – parents and nonparents – over the shared experience of being human and flawed and trying and failing to make sense of what life throws at us.

I now have two girls, aged four and two. As a writer, as well as a mum, I’m still finding my feet (will I ever?). Hopefully you can embrace the rambling and imperfect nature of the content and get something – however small – out of it. Always up for feedback via comments on posts, or the contact form below.
