Welcome to Blissful Mum!
My name is Helen and I'd love you to join me as I begin my new venture setting up my fledgling cake design and vintage china hire business. Following a busy banking career, I'm now enjoying a more creative and fulfilling side to life at home, looking after my two gorgeous little boys, baby girl and husband.
As an aspiring mumpreneur, keen crafter, home designer (and someone who cannot sit still for five minutes!), this is the beginning of a new chapter for me. So I'm starting by creating this blog - a journal where I can chat about life, develop my business ideas and share inspiration - hope you enjoy!
