I Am......

A Mum - to two gorgeous little girls (4 & 3)
A Partner - to my DP of 9yrs

I am 29yrs old and a stay at home mum to our beautiful girls (A & Z), both girls attend kinder, do swimming lessons and gymnastics (by choice).

I help run our business from home doing paperwork, invoicing and all the fun stuff... NOT

Until recently I wasn't doing a lot for myself, I was always busy with the kids, the house and the business and it seemed that no matter how hard I tried I was never GREAT at any of it.
There was always something else that needed to be done, or that I wasn't doing enough of or the kids would be driving me crazy and I felt like a horrible mum.

I started playing netball in a local C grade competition and having every Thursday night to myself, I realised just how much I have missed that interaction, the sport and the chance to go out every week and just be an adult.

I've also come to realise I need to do a bit more for ME, not just for the family or for the business but to keep me sane.

I've just re-started my weight loss journey, and believe me when I say I have a long way to go.
I wont comment on my start weight at the moment but to say I have over 25kg to lose, it will be a long journey but I am confident that I can and will get there this time.... FOR ME!

Some of my friends also consider me to be the crazy chicken lady, we currently have 9 hens (backyard crosses and 1 gorgeous black & white silkie x pekin bantam) aswell as mumma (pekin bantam) and her gorgeous 6 chicks (silkie x pekin bantam).
Our rooster Patch has been doing his job and we've been getting fertile eggs but none of my hens are broody to help hatch them for the girls.

We have 2 dogs our pup O who is an escape artist and is in my bad books after eating my daughters hen Amber last week and C our beautiful old girl who has been around longer than our children.

This blog is going to be a mix of everything for ME - quotes, weight loss, cooking, animals, our adventures and a place to vent.

I hope I don't bore you too much and that one day you may even enjoy reading about my adventures and crazy life.

For now though I will leave it at that.... just a bit of a peak.
