Thanks for taking the time to read What the Redhead said. I’m Donna, a married Mum of two. I’ve been blogging now for over twelve years and from November 2016 blogging has been my full time job. Any spare time I get I spend with the children, cooking, walking and searching for a healthier lifestyle. I also love to find a bargain, save money in any way I can and spend far too much time in my PJs!

Little Pickle or LP, was born at the end of August 2011 and changed our lives completely. She’s in Year 9 at secondary school and loving every minute. She has good friends, loves to read and no longer complains about doing homework. She makes us laugh all the time, has such a gorgeous personality and is finding new interests constantly at the moment. Some of her favourite things are crochet, making jewellery, music and reading. She’s an avid Taylor Swift fan.

Our Little Man, or LM for short, was born in May 2013 and completed our family. He’s flying through school, soaking up all the knowledge and learning so much. He has just started secondary school and it seems to have been natural progression for him – he has taken it in his stride. He loves facts, Star Wars, science and space but would happily play Minecraft, Roblox or VR all day if we let him!

Dave, works as a Police Sergeant and, after four years of a 9-5 role after many years working shifts, he’s now back on shifts although in a completely different role. When he isn’t working he loves Star Wars, comic book movies and all things geeky. He’s also been known to cook pretty well when given the opportunity!

What the Redhead said documents our family life and everything in it – family time and days out, holidays, milestone updates for the children, recipes and posts about our home as well as regular reviews and competitions. I am a huge advocate of home births, co-sleeping, baby led weaning and breastfeeding and I also come from a background in retail finance which have featured heavily on the blog over years gone by.

More recently, the blog features local information posts focusing on Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire as well as plenty of fudge recipes!

If you would like to discuss working with us on a blog feature please do get in touch and once again, thanks for reading!
