I thought I'd do a post about me and also why I started blogging.
So, a bit about me...
I have been married to my husband for 7 years and we have been together in total for 13.5 years. We met when we were just a very young 19. We got married in 2007 when we were both 25 and planned to start a family straight after. We put that on hold as there were other things that we wanted to prioritise as we figured we still had plenty of time. We didn't know it would take us over 3 years to have our first child. No idea why he took so long but he came in the end.
So he took a while but Sam finally arrived in July 2012 and is one of the biggest loves of my life. This is Sam.
We knew we wanted another child but didn't want to potentially have to wait another 3 years so we decided when Sam was just 6 months old that we would try for one month, just to see what happened. Ethan happened and was born on Halloween 2013. This is Ethan, the other biggest love of my life (as well as my husband obviously!):
They are both amazing boys and I love every second with them.
I'm currently a stay-at-home mum but will be going back to work at some point later this year or the beginning of next. While the thought of going back to work is a little scary, and I know I will miss my boys so much (I haven't had a single night apart from either of them since they were born), I'm also looking forward to getting a little bit of me back, not me the mummy, but just me.
Being a mum is hard work, I feel like my life is a sea of washing, ironing and odd socks, but I do love it. But I've always worked and I think that's been a hard transition for me. I have worked since I was 16 and have been at stay at home mum since Sam was born. The things I miss most about working are silly things like that Friday feeling (although my husband always reminds me that I don't get that Monday feeling either!). I also miss the atmosphere of London and just being around other adults. Obviously being a mum, the majority of my time is spent doing things with the kids.
And why I started blogging...
I was pretty new to the blogger thing. I actually didn't really know much about it until I "liked" Missguided's facebook page and I'd see these posts they'd do about particular bloggers. From there, I became really interested. I was on maternity leave after having my first child and, when he'd be having his nap, I'd read people's blogs. I've always been obsessed fashion but it's only been recently that I feel I've really found my style. Becoming a mum I think was a big part of this. I was determined not to become a mum who lives in tracksuits and doesn't make an effort anymore. Yes, having kids does take up most of my time but it doesn't take up all of my time.
The reason I started blogging was because I really like my style, my mum tells me I look different every day, my friends ask me if I ever do any washing as they never see me in the same thing twice and I figure if I like my style, then someone else will. I also really enjoy doing it, whether people follow me or not. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't but it's not the be all and end all for me. I enjoy my life and I enjoy blogging.
I'm really not even sure how many people read my blog but I really enjoy doing it and, while I have the time, I think I'll stick with it xxx
