About Me
I am a thirty-something ordinary Mum in an ordinary town doing life with three kids and a husband. I have a wonderful family and extended family and we are all very close (I am sure my husband would say "too close")
I am a serial career chaser. Since leaving school, I have dabbled in photography, social work, residential care, teacher aiding, working in a bakery, fitness instructing, bible college, waitressing, writing, media studies and have tried and failed to learn three different languages. I guess you could say I was a little ambitious (aka changeable/lack of self discipline). But I love life and I love trying everything it has to offer. I am writing this blog because I believe there are other Mum's just like me out there who think the things I do but don't voice them. I want to make people smile and laugh and cry and realize that they are not alone. |
Where am I? |
I live in a little beach town in coastal New Zealand. It is an amazing place to live and I feel very blessed to be here.

My life in a nutshell.... |
I come from a family of three girls and parents who have just celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary. I am a Christian first and foremost but I am not religious. I have a personal relationship with God. I had a happy childhood, marred only by a few dark incidents. I dated a LOT of the wrong kind of guys in my teenage years until I met my husband, a friend of my older sisters. He had been married before but after 7 years of battling a brain tumour, his wife passed away. So around 2 years later, we met and got together and the rest is history as they say. We have two daughters and a son who are all under 10 as I write this - with the oldest being eight and the youngest just two. Life is busy but filled with laughter and joy.
