In September I turned 30. I’m sure I could write a whole blog post dedicated to how I’m supposed to feel. I’m sure I could have come up with some amusing analogies and motivational quips about entering this decade but, in all honesty, I feel slightly meh.
If I was to describe my 20’s in one word it would be, life-changing. I earned two degree’s, bought a house, built a career, adopted a dog, had my first child, got married, had another child and single-handedly created this blog oh and most recently, I finally passed my driving test! My 20’s also brought a lot of heartaches. Losing grandparents, difficulties in marriage, anxieties, general mum guilt and some hard financial times. It’s definitely been a decade of lessons, growth and realisation that life truly is short and that we need to cherish what truly makes us happy.
Turning 30 has felt like I have put a lot to “bed”. In reality, things are actually incredibly good and positive right now, which is exactly where I want to be and to be honest, its the biggest milestone I’ve achieved. I think for me, I become so obsessed with reaching goals I kind of feel a little lost at times. I mean, what’s next? All those big life milestones are kind of done. Do I have to wait around for retirement?! Its silly isn’t it that we always seem to work our way through life thinking, “things will be better when I get a pay rise” or “things will be better once we have a bigger house” and whilst we should use things like this to motivate us positively, I definitely need to learn to be content and appreciate the little things in life.
Throughout my 30’s I want to continue to grow, travel, learn and nurture all that I hold dear. Wellbeing and family will take the forefront of my ambitions and I want to be able to share that with all you lovely lot…
With that in mind, I would love to hear what you’d like to see on here. Whether you’d like me to make more video content? Tips on positivity? Wellbeing or just general family life? Let me know so I can start to build content you actually what to see/read.
So here’s to my 30’s may they be full of adventure and happiness.
Bank Holiday Monday, true to form is wet and horrible! So we’re currently snuggled up watching Fantastic Mr Fox and I thought I would update you on what we’ve been up too over Easter. On Good Friday we headed to Winchester to visit Jamie’s brother & wife. They…
Boxing day and the sales, love them or hate them – everyone loves a bargain, me included. This year our loved ones have been incredibly generous this Christmas and as well as receiving some very thoughtful gifts we’ve also been given vouchers to our favourite stores. With this…
Being a busy mum of two sometimes I can end up neglecting myself. I can go months and months without treating myself because I always put the kids first. Up until a few weeks ago, the last time I dyed or cut my hair was over a year ago….
I have decided to do my own spin on Vlogmas and Blogmas and combine the two! So everyday leading up to Christmas you will see either a video or a blog post (I will always share the video on here too). As you will have seen I am…
You may remember when I wrote my 2016 goals that my mission this year is to have a healthier lifestyle. I don’t want to diet, I have done that in the past and failed miserably. What I want is a change of attitude and outlook towards food and…
So it’s the beginning of the summer holidays, day two for us, and my children have already eaten everything in the cupboards. It’s going to be an expensive summer. With that in mind, I thought I would put together a post on the way’s in which we can…
