Hello!!!!!! Yes I'm still here

So a wonderful customer of mine saw me at Murrabit Market & asked if I was still doing my blog.. Yes I am, and I'm sorry I havent been regular.. I'd like to blame baby brain, but really most times when I am in the mood for writing (or rather typing) a blog/ journal entry I am not in the best of moods- must stem back to the fact I've kept a diary since grade 5.. It was a wonderful outlet for all the things I had to deal with in my life... I always wrote more when things werent going great.. I'm sure a tonne of people are happy I vented on paper rather than at them :)

So I am 37 weeks pregnant today.. Over the weekend I lost some of my mucous plug- Sorry if that's an overshare... I've also been luky enough to have infrequent pains.. I dont recall getting these pains when pregnant with Memphis . So Im waiting and hanging for this baby to arrive now.. It's still 3 weeks till my due date, but I'm fairly confident to say the baby will come early- as did Memphis.

I've gained 11kgs, which I'm pretty happy with,  (not that I'm real vain, but it certainly means less to lose afterwards) and I'm feeling pretty good too.. The nesting has kicked in the last 2 weeks, and though I am less able to do things around the house I am doing more..

It's funny everyone guessing what were having when we know what sex the baby is. Some say girl (my theory is they think it must be a girl cause weve already got a boy, & the norm now seems to be to have a pidgeon pair) and some say boy cause im carrying low, & the fact I havent cracked & spilled the beans also- As if i was having a girl I'd be too excited and tell everyone!

What else- The shop. Well it's been a tough year.. As I've said before being in Business is tricky stuff.. And so is being pregnant.. It hasnt all gone exactly to plan, and honestly right now I'm playing it all by ear.. As much as I love this Business and my Awesome customers, if need be my baby & my son will come first.. I have found it is extremely difficult juggling a career/business and family life.. My priorities have changed quite alot and I'd love to be at home ALOT more with my boy and new baby..

It seems incomprehensible that we'll have  a new baby.. Were so used to having this Independent almost self sufficient little boy.. It's hard imagining again how life will change..

I'm Happy today, and know that everything happens in life as it should.. We make of it what we like..

Welcome!

Hello There! Yes you!
I am no expert, I'm a mum just like you doing her best to raise 2 active boys while maintaining a home, a part time job and running a business (all with the help of my wonderful & very patient husband)

This blog isn't about trying to sell you stuff
(though at times I just cant help but tell you about goodies I use at home myself) It's about my life, my challenges with both family life and business and how I attempt to make it all work!

I look forward to you sharing the journey- and would love you to share your journey along the way too! I hope to also share with you helpful blogs and businesses that I've found and love!
