Guess who's back... Again

Hello lovelies

So basically I stopped blogging for a while. Why I hear my avid readers ask? (Cue tumble weed... Is that the right cue spelling?) Because my darlings real life got the better of me. Scott is back at work full time, I have a toddler now... Yes he walks and everything, I have a flat to maintain whilst also trying to keep myself maintained! So basically I had to decide what wasn't as important to look after and obviously my blog was not a priority so I said bye bye to it for a while. 

But I am back! For now at least. I'm not going to back promises of how often I'm going to post I'm just going to post when I can and about what ever I want to or whatever is going on at the time. So it's now more of an as and when blog. It'll still entail the same sort of stuff eg baby, life, food, games, reading and beauty. Though probably a lot of baby stuff as he's still (of course) the centre of my world though I will try to add in other bits.

So for now this is just my "Helloooooo" post and will be back to my merry old blogging ways! I hope you enjoy and carry on enjoying what I post. 

Until I post again why not go back and read some of my old posts and maybe let me know if there is anything you'd like e to ramble about! I'm sure I can pretty much talk about anything. 

Take it easy

Blogger

I'm going to go ahead and start of by saying I am not an expert at blogging. This is my 4th attempt at trying to start one, I think it did well but I got bored.
Unfortunately it os just one of those things, unless you're really passionate about what you are writing about.


And that was my downfall before. I was trying too hard to write about things I just had no idea about so that my blog would be noticed. Yes I wear clothing mainly bought from new look but I am in no way a fashion savvy girl. I could probably guess just by taking a look on the high street what's popular but otherwise I am clueless.
I have mentioned in a previous blog post, helpfully named fashion, I was not born with the fashion gene. I like doing make up, I use to change my eye make up everyday. Hell I went to London, got into lots of debt, to do a make up course. I enjoyed it but my tutors didn't seem to... In fact they seemed l
slightly depressed on their chosen career path... Except one but she didn't seem all there to begin with. But I couldn't tell you what was trending, I could only tell you what I used ... Which wasn't and isn't a lot.


And there in lays the problem. I was trying to hard to be this beauty/ fashion blogger when that's not me. I'm an everything and anything girl. You want fashion, sure here's the Hogwarts jumper I wear more then I should. You want beauty? Well jump on in I'll show you how I put my mascara on. I'm certain its the same way you do it but you never know (everyone does it in the dark upside down right?).


But that's just a small percentage of who I am. I'm also a mum, wife, cook (don't ask anyone though they're horrid liars and will say I don't cook... ), baker, gamer, reader, crafter, slightly paranoid, collector and so much more. I doubt there's one person that knows the full bomb site that is me.
Not even me. Everyday I surprise myself by doing something I didn't think I could do or Sa something that a few years ago you wouldn't catch me saying in a ... Few years apparently. I actually stand up for what I believe in now.


I guess that's why it felt so right to restart my blog now. Because I'm more myself now then I ever have been before and what I write now is actually ... Well.. Me.


So I guess if I were to give any advice to some one starting a blog from the point of view of someone who doesn't have a clue is..


Just do it. Just write but be yourself. Write how you would say it out loud if you were talking to a friend or family member. Let some of your weirdness seep in between the lines. That way I think people will appreciate your blog more because its more personal. Its you!


And this is me.


Take it easy.
