Natalie Brown Author & Illustrator

Natalie Brown is a freelance journalist and mum of four based in Hove, East Sussex. She started blogging under the pseudonym Confessions of a Crummy Mummy in 2013 while on maternity leave from her job as a local newspaper editor and finding herself with lots to say and nobody to say it to. Three more babies, more nappies than she can possibly count, and lots of wine later she is now an accidental mum of four who has been there, done it and got the (sick stained) t-shirt, most recently during the coronavirus pandemic. You can follow her everyday parenting adventures on Instagram and Facebook (@confessionsofacrummymummy) and Twitter (@mrsnataliebrown). www.crummymummy.co.uk
