Juggling Mum-life, the outdoors and women’s shooting!
About
A hunting, shooting, fishing, hiking, wildlife loving, adventuring Mum.
On a mission to make getting into fieldsports and women’s shooting less intimidating.
Encouraging Mums to pick up their shotgun again, even if they’ve got kids in tow.
Inspiring you to head outside with your family and to put a bit of adventure back in your life, one step at a time.

My hot take on:
Women’s shooting in the UK and abroad.
Returning to the field after you’ve had a child (aka finding your ‘fieldability’ again).
Hunting, prepping and cooking your own food.
How to weave micro adventures with children into your life, without it being intimidating.
And, how I try (and believe me, often fail) to do me … do ‘Mum’ … do the career … and do other commitments.
It’s about community, friendship, sharing the things I’m passionate about and creating a resource for other women who might not know where to start.
Whether it’s advice on picking up a shotgun for the first time (hint: start with clays), recommendations for the best stalking, hiking or camping gear IMHO, recipes to try at home using sustainable meat, tips for juggling being a Mum, a professional and still having a life (!!!); or kit-lists for your adventures with a mini, you’ll find it here.
the MOM series
The MOM series started on social media, sharing my thoughts on maintaining an outdoors, adventurous and fieldsports oriented life as a Mum.
My hope is this helps other Mums who may be struggling with a loss of self, trying to find the confidence to either tackle activities they once didn’t think twice about or to give them a go for the first time - whether that’s getting out shooting or fishing, or daring to hike up mountains.
I quickly realised I had more to say than would fit in an Instagram caption …
