I'm back!

Four months have flown by since I "quit" my blog, and I have to say I've really missed it! I was never really honest about why I quit it but there were two main reasons. The first one was that I felt like I was becoming a cliche, all of the other mummy blogs I was reading via Twitter were just saying the same things over and over, nothing new was being written by any of us. I was also beginning to find the mother blogging world a bit sickly sweet, I mean it's brilliant to praise and encourage each other but I felt that people were writing really boring and mediocre posts but getting their arses well and truly licked with excruciatingly OTT comments! This mama blogging community is a clique one, and even if your shite you'll get support cos they all know each other. 

And the second one being that I wanted to write as honestly about my life as I could, but felt that people may get hurt or offended by what I really wanted to write about! friends & family etc...and quite frankly I don't need that on my conscience. 

However, things have changed massively since then, I'm now back to work for around 30 hours a week, I've found a little of my sparkle back, I no longer give a shit about being "better" than anyone else or competing or generally what other people think anymore. This is my blog and I will write what the hell I want, when I want. I'll be honest and tell you I had a massive 'mummy' cull on twitter too, I embraced anything mummified when Jacob was a newborn but he's 2 now and I feel like I'm ready to find a bit of me back now. I'm still following lots of mums, dads and blogs, but they are enlightening, interesting, cool and a bit more, well...real.

In the 6 months since we've moved to West London , I've gained more confidence, lost nearly a stone, and feel more like myself for the first time in two years, I've made awesome new friends, worked my ass off and gained a ton of new found self worth. 

I'm really excited about this Christmas too! I adore our new place and really feel like Christmas here is going to be our best yet! I'm also totally excited for what 2014 will bring 💋
