I’m Katie, I’m 30-something and I have been blogging here at Heels & Hooves since the end of 2014.

I’m a journalist, PR and marketer, and now work for myself from home, around looking after my girls full time. This blog is my place to indulge my love of writing, albeit rather sporadically. I write about our lives, parenthood, lifestyle, beauty, style and anything else that I care about or crops up in my life. I share my home with my husband, Gary, our beautiful daughters, Lottie (August 2015) and Frankie (March 2017),  and I could not be happier with my lot.

A bit about us

– Mr M and I met in 2010 and got married in Italy in 2013 with 30 of our closest friends and family.

– Mr M is an Arsenal mad estate agent, who is the kindest, calmest man I have ever met.

– Lottie was born in August 2015, five days after we moved into our new house.

– Her sister, Frankie followed just 19 months later, in March 2017.

– I am a horse mad mum, who is a little more fiery when it comes to important things, but who is generally fairly calm.
