Ok, so here is my first 'test' post. Please bear with me - I've never done this before and I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing! Anyway, I've decided to start a blog. I've no idea who or how many people will bother to actually read it but the number of views it gets isn't what drives me. A variety of other things do.
I've just recently given birth (well, 10 weeks ago actually) to my second baby - a beautiful girl we called Isla Grace. I also have a three-year-old little boy called Tommy. One of the main reasons I have decided to try blogging is that since having my children I find myself wondering how time passes so quickly. Anyone that knows me knows that being organised is not one of my strongest points. I take hundreds of photographs of my children but it never occurs to me at the time to print them off, organise them or make a note of the date things occurred. Starting a blog might be a good way of documenting and remembering everything we do together as a family. In addition to this, most of my extended family don't live close by and it would be a nice way of them seeing what we are up to on a daily basis.
Another reason for writing a blog is my childhood dream of becoming an author. Ok, so it's not an incredible fictional story like I imagined but a blog gives me an outlet in which to write SOMETHING at least!
As a part-time teacher (although I'm currently on maternity leave), I spend lots of time at home with my two children. Tommy is due to be going to school next September (eek!) and so I'm doing all sorts with him, in order to prepare him for that. I'm sure I drive him mad sometimes with my constant desire to "teach" him things but I just can't help it. That's what any good parent should do. I intend to fill my blog with activities I do with both my children and this might prove helpful to others that have children the same age.
Other posts you might expect to see here include my baking exploits, projects I undertake around my house, baby and beauty products I've bought and the occasional shopping haul. I'll also be detailing my birth story too, so look out for that!
