About Me
Welcome to One Frazzled Mum. A Creative Lifestyle blog.
Written by myself, Tracey, One Frazzled Mum is my creative outlet as I rediscover my passion for writing and storytelling. Originally a Family Lifestyle blog, One Frazzled Mum was started in February 2014 and focussed on my life as a single parent to Olivia who is now 13.
Over the years, the blog has evolved and gone through many changes to become what it is today. I am proud of my space on the internet and strive to make it the best it can be. You will find a plethora of posts on many topics with my main focus being writing fiction and reviews. Two things I love to do and am passionate about.
Tracey.
I am a child of the ’80s who is fast approaching an age I once condemned at ‘past it’. Having raised Olivia as a single parent for the past 10 years, to date, it remains my biggest achievement. As is maintaining a healthy relationship with her dad as we continue to co-parent with ease.
I have a passion for all things coffee and chocolate and love to read as often as possible. But mostly I can be found behind my laptop on the sofa indulging in a good old box-set binge session.
On the rare times I am not behind a screen I can be found attempting to coordinate my limbs in my thrice-weekly Zumba classes or heading out and about for day trips for various blog reviews in my trusty Honda Jazzy affectionally know as Jazzy. I also have a passion for musicals, movies and concerts. Lined up for 2019 I have The Bodyguard in Liverpool (March), Michael Buble in Manchester (May) and Westlife in Liverpool (June). I am sure there will be more to come!
I am always on the go (except when in my day job – I go there for a break!), permanently chaotic and always frazzled.
Olivia
Olivia is a headstrong teen who knows her own mind. She is fast growing into a confident young lady with a wealth of opinions on pretty much much most things. With a desire to teach me how to be a ‘proper parent’ she can often be found chastising me as I stumble my way through parenting a teen.
Although not as active on the blog as she once was, she can still be found helping me out on reviews when I can drag her away from playing Sims or watching her favourite YouTubers. Although she never developed my love for reading, she can binge watch like a pro whilst focussing her creative energy into singing and acting with a view to pursuing drama for her GCSE’s.
The Rest of the Family.
Alongside myself and Olivia, I also get some help on this blog from my family too. My youngest sister J is always my plus one when we head out. I l also have a lot of help from two of my nieces too. A is 6 and E is 14 and they are both sisters. They love to help out, especially A when it involves toys and E when it involves food!
