A Little Bit About Me...

I think I should start off by saying that I know I'm not the only mum out there thinking the things I do and feeling the way I do. It's so hard to be a "good" mum these days and having a purpose outside of your child is my main reason for starting this blog. I don't expect anyone to read it, but if they do and it helps even one mum feel like she's not alone and that she can relate then that's beyond awesome. I plan on posting the things that pop into my head. The phrase "you know you're a mum when..." is one that I've used continually throughout this adventure and it is so relevant to so many things. Whether it be an outfit choice, the reason you didn't buy something frivolous, or even down to why you and your other half were in bed by 8:30pm on a Saturday and called that a late night!

I have a one year old monster that laughs in your face and is far too clever for his own good. I'm muddling through whilst my other half works abroad. He's my other child, you know the type. 36 going on 14, makes more mess than a toddler but has the best beard and is the best dad I could ask for for my children. He's awesome in many ways, but I'm sure I'll get to him at some point in a later post!

So, putting myself out there for others to see is hard as a mum, other mums can be more judgemental than the bitchy girls you knew in school, but here goes nothing...
