Welcome

Hi, I’m Paula

Welcome to Mummy Vs Work!

I’m a mum of two teenagers (16 and 14), navigating the beautiful chaos of family life since 2008. What started as a way to document our parenting journey has grown into a thriving community of UK families sharing this wild adventure together.

Our Story
For the past 14 years, Mummy Vs Work has been our digital family album, capturing everything from toddler tantrums to teenage milestones. Now, we’re sharing our experiences with:

  • World travels that expand our horizons
  • The exciting journey of building our dream home
  • Kitchen adventures and healthy family meals
  • Real, unfiltered moments of family life
  • Practical parenting tips for the modern family

What Makes Us Different?
We speak your language – literally! As a UK-based family blog, you’ll find our recipes in grams (not cups), our temperatures in Celsius, and our parenting advice tailored to British family life. No translation needed!

What You’ll Find Here

  • Authentic parenting stories from the trenches
  • Practical tips for balancing work and family life
  • Travel guides with a family twist
  • Home organization and lifestyle inspiration
  • Teen parenting insights (because they don’t come with a manual!)

Join Our Journey
Whether you’re a working parent seeking balance, a family planning your next adventure, or simply looking for a place to feel understood – you’ve found your tribe.

Let’s navigate this parenting journey together, one story at a time.

Where this all began

Young Love back in 2001, was where this all began. Fast forward 24 years, and we have 2 teens and 2 dogs!

We are in the process of moving home to our forever home, a renovation project that is going to take a while to complete, and we would love you to join us on it!
