My name is Naomi (Bilgewater on the forum, named after my favorite book, in case you were wondering!) and I’m the Advertising Manager for Natural Mamas.
I’m a stay at home mama to Ethan aged 15 and Verity aged 22 months, big age gaps are great! 
We live in Wiltshire with our gorgeous dog Babs ~ lots of wild walking, getting wet and muddy.
