What’s in a name?

You’ll have noticed that things look different around here. I’m changing the name of my blog to Lizzie Woodman. The web address will soon be different, but I promise that the content you love will stay the same.

How did Marmalade Pie start?

I began writing Marmalade Pie in 2014. It was a simple way to express myself after years of being a stay-at-home mum. At first I mostly wrote about parenting and simple craft ideas. Marmalade Pie felt like a whimsical little name that could encompass all this, and more.

Why change?

The simple answer is that I’ve outgrown it. The name Marmalade Pie doesn’t really feel like me anymore. I owe it a lot: it taught me to be a better writer and to find freelance work that I love. But it’s time to move on.

Multi-hyphenated life

I’m now living that very millennial concept: a multi-hyphenated life. Which basically means I’m a blogger/freelance writer/mother/social media manager/avocado eater. There are lots of different strands to my life and work. I’d like to pull them all together under the comforting umbrella of my own name: Lizzie Woodman.

This will still be a blog

This website will still primarily be a blog. It will also incorporate more stories from my life as a freelancer which I hope you’ll enjoy too. I want to write about the things you all care about – eco living, fashion, lifestyle, books and everything in between. I hope you like it.
