Hi, I’m Nikki, busy Mum to two little fellas, communications professional and a lover of running (jogging, not sprinting). Since my boys arrival life seems to be on fast forward. I want to make sure I capture all the precious memories of them growing up somewhere other than just in my frazzled brain, hence the birth of ‘Slugs and Snails Tales’. ‘Slugs and Snails Tales’ shares my adventures of raising boys, the fun, the challenges and how I am becoming an expert on mud, dirt and football!
