Introducing the Family at The Heart of Little Pickles Markets

Firstly there is me Jessamine (Jess, Mummy, Mum, Mrs Mummy Pickle, Little Pickles Lady, my aliases are endless), my first and most rewarding job in life is of course being Mummy to my 5 gorgeous ‘Little Pickles’, Tegan will kill me for still referring to her as Little, so let me correct that Mummy to 4 ‘Little Pickles’ and 1 Young Lady. I started my journey as a parent at only 17, it has not been easy but sometimes I amaze myself at how far I have come, but that is very much Thanks to my Mum and Dad for everything they taught me (right enough of the soppy stuff). I am the founder and owner of Little Pickles Markets, which I often refer to as my 6th baby, mind you I would have probably lost less sleep have another real baby than running my own business around the kids (I say as I am writing this at nearly 1am). I am passionate about the business, have a great team I work along side and get to meet a whole range of different people, a job I truly love.

Tegan my very nearly 13 year old that has all the usual attributes of a teenage girl, but also the most loving and caring big sister her sibling’s could ask for. She loves music (yes she is forever singing whilst I’m trying to talk to her, I’m sure this is pretty normal for a teenager), dancing, shopping, doing her hair and most importantly of course taking Selfies with her friends, me, siblings, well anyone really 🙂

Lexia is 8 years old next month, she is the craft queen, usually found at the dining room table drawing, colouring, painting, well anything messy really. Also she has inherited a wicked sense of rhythm from her West Indian roots, boi can that girl dance!

Jolie my very strong charactered 5 year old middle child, who definitely has a mind of her own. Usually found making her way through the bookshelves to read anything and everything, but would never tidy up after herself!!! She is the thinker of the family, maybe a budding genius, well you never know.

Faryl, The Man of the House, but doesn’t he know it he has his sisters (and me for a fact) wrapped around his little finger, pretty impressive considering he’s only 3! He is fireman obsessed, so would quite happily watch Fireman Sam on repeat all day. But also has a love for outdoors and can quite often be found getting muddy jumping in puddles and generally teaching me what parenting a boy is all about.

Then we have the Baby of the family Aliza, 11 months, she is all of ours little ray of sunshine, always ready with a smile to cheer us up. She loves noisy toy’s, chewing everything and pulling her siblings hair. Her giggle is infectious and she is darn cute too, ok I know I’m biased but isn’t every mum.

So in a nutshell that is us, yes you are all waiting for a lovely family portrait but I am totally camera shy, so here’s the kids for you.
