Where life leads...

Aren't kids just what its all about? Like the stuff of dreams? When I visualize myself in 30 years- I see children and swarms of grandchildren and big bbqs with an open door policy.

I am from a huge family of beautiful people. My mum and dad separated when i was young and oddly i am so pleased they did as I wouldn't have the people around me I have today or wouldn't be the person i am today. I have never wished they were together, genuinely, I was always lucky, and still am, to have to very open and chilled parents who would always try to do everything for me. The decisions they made led me to acquire a lovely new army of siblings and surrounding family.

Growing up, i was always Miss Independent, never wanting to rely on anyone. Always out with my friends shopping and underage partying. I wanted to settle down early, that was a certainty, maybe a result of wanting that "normal" family- not that there is anything wrong with mine. They may be bonkers, but they are mine. My path always led me into relationships and i don't look back with regret- its of course led me to where i am today.

I finally met Petter. We knew each other anyway, he came to my 18th birthday party and thought his was pro by signing my memories book with his name and a hashtag, he had a shaved head and pretty boy hair was and still is my thing, so he was off limits. But, we found each other in a david lloyd hot tub and the rest is history.

We have adventured , had a beautiful baby in 2015 and bought our dream home. Now, we have two lovely jobs, although i moan, teaching is a joy- most of the time. We could do with winning the lottery for my holiday habits. Its not the stuff of everyone's dreams but i am very happy. I try to see if positively. I am the annoying person with the advice, but will mostly, see everything positively.

There is a snapshot of my life so far.
