Ok, I’m not going to lie… I’ve literally just spent the best part of an hour trying to decide on a name for this blog. And realistically I’ll probably change it another 40-something times before I go to bed. I’m starting this blog as a sort of diary for myself, but also to put out my ideas and opinions and create a sort of online scrapbook of all the ideas (right I need some synonyms for that word now.) This is already starting to sound stupid…
Maybe a cup of tea will help me.
No. It hasn’t.
But I must say, I’m seriously enjoying this whole hipster vibe that comes with my KeepCup. Cork-rimmed glass cup for carrying around hot beverages. Probably not the most intelligent thing to purchase with a one year old toddling about the house – and it loses heat quicker than I can drink it – but hey, it looks freaking cool walking up to the train station on a chilly winter morning.
The whole of 2017 was sort of a write-off for me. Granted I did have my time completely taken over by a squishy little cuddle monster (who I’ll refer to from now on as Boo.) who I can honestly say was my literal saviour, my tiny ray of light in an otherwise dark and dismal year. It’s never easy is it, parenthood. And everyone says that first year flies by – and my God does it?! I swear it was yesterday he learned how to sit up all by himself, while myself and my sister screamed with excitement and now he’s vigorously trying to take the buggy from me so he can push it along himself. Although it is mighty cute that he tries to reach up on his tippy-toes to a higher part of the handle, then gives up and proceeds to push it from wear the bag sits on the wheel bar.

Besides that, it was a year of emotion and learning, so I want to start this year with the mindset that I will try to make it better. Not that I’m going to be forgetting what’s happened, or that I’m even close to being over it. But just acknowledging it and accepting that I can still be me even though I might be dealing with other sh*t.
So like most people, I’ve set myself some of those resolution things – pretty run of the mill like 1) exercise more 2) stop kidding myself that I actually exercise at all to begin with 3) eat healthier 4) downsize wardrobe 5) start a Youtube channel 6) start a blog. (WAHEEY I can actually tick one off already!)
