What’s this all about then . .

Thanks for stopping by at my new little venture. . . I’ll be posting daily anecdotes about the chaos of life at home with four children, a host of animals and a hubby who works ridiculously long hours.

I’ll be sharing a few organisational hints and tips around how we make life a little bit easier for ourselves . . . We will be reviewing lots of places that we visit with @wikiplacesforkids, As well as discussing mental health and parenthood. .

I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2010, with M.E in 2011, and then with fibromyalgia in 2014. . . And went from being a single mum with two young babies,a full time job and studying a full time degree, to working at my dream job in a zoo . . To finally admitting that I couldn’t physically do it anymore. . And in amongst moving to our dream home in our dream location, where everything should have been amazing. . I lost myself completely. . And ended up feeling like “just” a mum, and a very good one at that, I’ve struggled with Generalised Anxiety Disorder, with OCD (but no, my house isn’t always clean!) And imposter syndrome (yes, it’s real thing, and yes I googled it when I was told)

So, on this little page I’ll be reaching out, blogging about the good days, and the really really bad ones, sharing how I cope, or, sometimes don’t, things that help and things that don’t. . . Along with hoping to connect with people in a similar situation, share our experiences and learn how others manage too. . Who knows, I might even make a friend or two out of it too, providing I reply appropriately, don’t put my foot it it, or just ghost people! 😂🙈😉
