Lucy Cotterill is a mum of two and Content Writer at Mumsnet, specialising in parenting and home product reviews and round-ups. Having written reviews on her own blog Real Mum Reviews since 2012, Lucy loves to research and explore the pros and cons of baby products and household essentials, scrutinising consumer feedback and expert opinions to help parents make confident purchases that benefit their families.
Lucy has written numerous articles for Mumsnet, so whether you're after a big purchase for your home like the best dishwashers or washing machines, a gadget for your kitchen like an air fryer, or even parenting essentials, such as toddler car seats or travel systems, she's the woman in the know.
Originally from a HR background with a degree in Business Studies, Lucy developed a real passion for blogging and writing when her children were young, going on to write for several online publications including the Evening Standard's ES Best and IndyBest at The Independent. When she’s not manically tapping the keys of her laptop, Lucy loves nothing more than to cosy up with her Kindle and enjoy the latest thriller, or compete in Nintendo Switch rallies with her daughters aged six and 10.
