I just want to get stuck in – get the whole job done!  But this is not possible. I am learning to be pleased rather than frustrated with the small spurts of progress I make around the house and garden during the small pockets of childfree time that punctuate my days. It will all add up to create the desired vision eventually … won’t it?! And my (best attempts at) patience will be rewarded …. won’t they?! And the children will flourish from all the attention I devote to their lives … won’t they?!

… about LIFE. In all its glorious forms. The ups, the downs, the fun, the stress, the triumphs, the disasters, what’s interesting, what motivates, what blocks, what cheers … We just want to try out writing about stuff.

So here we go …

My good friend Kate and I have been talking about starting a blog for over a year now and lots of things have gotten in the way, work, family, life in general! There is also a sense of trepidation of being vocal in the world of social media when you haven’t grown up tweeting etc on a daily basis. Reading the quote from J.K. Rowling about failure empowered me to just go for it, so what if no one reads it. The whole point of starting it was to give us a sense of achievement and use writing as a personal therapy broadcasting our thoughts and views. The big bonus is that the blog meetings Kate and I have are the best meetings ever, 40% therapy, 40% gossip and 20% work whats not to love – and doing something with a good friend – priceless!!
