About Me

My photo
Well, where do I start? I could start at many stages in my life; all very exciting and adventurous in some sort of way. Probably best to start when I met my husband 10 years ago, as this was the turning point in my very emotional and dramatic life. Met Ben through work, we had a wonderful life together, very ambitious, career driven until we decided to started a family 4 years later. The fertility Journey did take 2 years to conceive but we got there eventually and conceived little Thomas, now for someone like me who has no patience what so ever this was a agonizing and stressful wait but well worth it. We moved from our home town Bournemouth to Ipswich with Ben's work, I gave up my careern and then married in Cumbria in 2009. We continued to have 2 more children very easily compared to Thomas, Jesiica and Baby Wilson.
One of the main reasons I have set up this blog is to gather advice and information on how I can be guided through my Journey into Christianity. "We need others around us who know Jesus. Who want God to influence their lives", "The Spiritual Starter Kit" Lesson # 5 - The value of other believers.
I am not perfect nor do I want to be, I am not here to change the world, or the way people think. I am just here to be happy and put the past behind me, wash away all the pain and view the world differently to the way I see it today. I want to be happy in no matter what I do, feel completeness and at peace with the world and admire all the beautiful things it has to offer me, my family and all my beautiful friends. I know this can happen it is just a matter of believing!


Please, I urge you to join my site and welcome any thoughts you may have or advice that will help me on my way! This site would not work without your input. Please note I am dyslexic, so, if anyone wishes to volunteer to edit my posts, by all means feel free.

My Seven Quick Takes even though it is Saturday!

1. Had a fabulous day today, my youngest Son's first Birthday Party (although his birthday is tomorrow). Went amazing well.. I stayed as calm as I possible could. Tried not to stress too much. I was surrounds by our wonderful friends. Wilson, the poor little fellow was rather ill and feeling sleepy and sick but he managed to pull through after sleeping for a few hours. Nanna and Gramps came, the kids love their grandparents. So now the day is finished I am very tired but satisfied that we made our youngest son proud of his birthday celebrations. Sad to think I may not have another baby again. Never say never.

2. Sleep overrated. It has been 4 years since I placed my head on a pillow, fell asleep only to wake and the light is seeming through the window! I am sure I have been getting better sleep now Wilson is that little but older and sleeping without waking every hour. But he does still get up at 5am. My husband and I have to take it in turns. I would love to sleep for a week do not think that will ever happen now I have children.

3. Having a discussion about breastfeeding with my girl friends and trying not to feel emotional and jealous that I do not breastfeed any of my children any more. I did state that " had my two boys not self weaned and I had to force my daughter at 12 months to stop due to my pregnancy with Wilson, I may still be breastfeed them all now",  maybe not Thomas he is nearly four! You cannot control everything.

4. Love listening to BBC Radio 2, I think it is great, so appealing to me now! I Would never have listen to a radio station like this before, old people do. Maybe I am getting old. Is 36 old?

5. Funny how people judge a book by it's cover. I know I am a mum of three children under four but I did  have a career once. I was a Software Project Manager. Why do I feel the need to have to explain this to people for them to see who I really am!!  Have I lost my true Identity.

6. Do you ever feel like you are living your life to the full. Are you happy. I think we spend so much of are life looking forward we never actually stop and enjoy the present day! Why maybe because life can be really tough no matter what situation your in..

7. Oh my goodness, anyone who has children will know my anguish and pain. Play school let alone school. There are so many rules and regulations on admission it is a nightmare. I am not even getting to the schools application yet, even thought the deadline for Thomas is like now aarrgghhhh!
