I was recently looking through my mums old photo albums and it was so cool to see how she documented an album based on her motherhood, from fashionable pictures of her "werking" that baby bump (tiny Pippa) to pictures of my brother and I on our first holidays and other special memories. It dawned on me that I had nothing special like this to show my son when he will be older. Nothing to show him how cool his mum is (so I like to think), nothing that documents all of our fun days out.
Now I'm sure I'm not the only one that has an iPhone photo album of 3000+ pictures and videos.. What's that, I am?
I go by the name of Philippa but you can call me Pippa. I'm a single mother from London but I have recently moved to Essex. My whole entire existence is based on my love for my son, football and food.
From my blog logo I'm sure you will also expect what to get out of my blog. But if you have no idea, heres a little rundown of what to expect;
My involvement in Football
Fashion and lifestyle- trying to be glamorous and maintain a healthy lifestyle
Real life motherhood stories, from my struggles to my glories.
Some posts may just be to showcase my photography which I have a new found love for.
And of course, you may follow me on my travels, (whenever that may be)
Ever since I stepped into that shiny Mercedes showroom in Loughton on a spontaneous Wednesday afternoon, NOTHING has been the same. Raphael and I spent a couple of hours looking at the potential "Mummy's new car" and he instantly fell in love with the three pointed star emblem.
I have always been so fascinated by women in football and the journey they have embarked on to get where they are today. So when I first came across Lauren a few years ago, a London girl with a desire so strong, I just knew we had to be friends. I won't say too much about Lauren in this post because I plan to interview her on her inspiring story very soon.
When Lauren invited me over to Dubai to experience the AG league in all its glory, giving me the VVIP treatment, it was an offer I couldn't refuse.
It has been a phenomenal week for football fans in the city of London. The old Sorting house on New Oxford Street had been transformed into Nike Phenomenal house for one week only. The venue housed an event that fused "the world of music, style, football and innovation" with a genealogy of football boots, spikes and trainers, a pop-up shop with exclusive and customised Nike gear and also a store to buy 1 of 1055 prints of the commemorative Arsenal and Nike 20 years union.
Nike kicked off their Football X Tournament in their flagship store Niketown on 22nd May 2015 and in true Nike style the event did not disappoint. With the best of the UK grime scene blaring through the speakers, young hopefuls stepped into the cage to compete for a place in the Nike football X tournament.
