About It's a Mum's Life
Liat Joshi juggles being mum to TLM and working part time as a freelance journalist. She lives in a leafy but slightly dull suburb of outer North London. Her favourite recreational activities include playing as much tennis as motherhood to a toddler allows (not enough) and faffing on the internet (far too much). Liat became a journalist several years ago after tiring of the exceedingly long hours involved in her City management consultancy job. Since then, she has written for, among others, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, The Independent and Junior Magazine.

- Hounded out
TLM and I were hounded out of a coffee shop today. Ok, so no one threw stones at us, or biscotti or choc chip muffins or whatever people in Starbucks would throw if they were forcing someone to abandon their half drunk, half shot, tall skinny latte and run. In fact no one […]
- The joy of second hand baby kit
I’m no skinflint and I’m not particularly hard up. I wouldn’t dream of buying second hand clothes (I’m not stylish enough to be one of those women who dresses in ‘vintage finds’ from charity stores – I’d probably get it horribly wrong and end up looking like I was wearing one of Ugly Betty’s […]
