Time for a Change!

Welcome to my world!

These two boys are everything to me right now. They are the only two things that really matter at the moment and they make up my entire world.

Which means that it is time to make some changes around here to reflect that!

Until now this blog has been a random mixture of posts with no particular theme taking precedence over others. Well that has to change now my whole being is so focussed on my two boys.

I'll still write about the house, the garden and health issues because those are important to me too. I'll never stop writing about things that I am passionate about or that affect me personally. But I have far more I want to write about family life than anything else these days and so that's what I am going to do. 

I am aware that by writing so much about this new aspect of my life I may unintentionally bring up topics that may be hard for some readers to see. After all, a large percentage of the Endo community online struggle with infertility and I know that by writing about Endometriosis on here I am bound to get some new visitors who google for blogs about it. But as I am a blogger who writes openly and honestly about all aspects of my life, I cannot write anything but what is most relevant to me and that has now become my little family of three.

Of course, despite being lucky enough to fall pregnant easily, you all know I had a terrible pregnancy experience, and so although there will be very many happy family posts, there are bound to be those written regarding the emotional reaction to this and, as one friend put it, grieving the "loss of the dream of having more children". 

But on the whole my focus for the blog is family and so I guess you could say this is going to become perhaps more of a "mommy blog" than anything else. 

I have product reviews I want to share (not paid for, I hasten to add, just of things I have found super useful!)

I have craft ideas and tutorials I hope to type up and produce in time so that you can have a go at something new.

I have tales to share of our days here at home and out and about.

I have all manner of topics from day-to-day family life through to how to introduce faith to your child and building family traditions that I want to explore with you all.

And I have a whole bag of things I want to blog about in the lead up to Christmas!

So, over the next few days/weeks/months (depending on what sort of days and nights we have with my littlest man) I'm going to be making a few changes around here. I want to rearrange and refresh my sidebars and perhaps the whole feel of the blog to better reflect where I am in my life right now. It will take me some time as I'm sure you can imagine I am a lot less able to get online to work these days (and rightly so, I might add, with such a gorgeous boy to cuddle and play with!) But changes will be made and I do hope you will like them.

Amanda! I'm so glad to see that you're doing well and excited to make some changes around here. It looks great, by the way!

I haven't had a chance to send you a proper note to say thank you SOOOOO much for the amazing and beautiful caps you made our little luckies. They are so wonderful, I can't believe you made them. You're so very crafty and talented, I'm thoroughly impressed.

It was so very thoughtful of you, especially with all you've been through. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, it really means the world. The luckies don't quite fit into them yet (their heads are really small- they're in the 1st percentile). But I can't wait til they fit them- it'll be SO cute.

You're the best, Amanda. Thank you again, for everything. xxoo

Good for you! I've been meaning to get in touch with you for months now. Our babies birthdays are a day apart. Miss B was born on Sept. 19/09!!

Thank you as always for your comments on my blog. I haven't been writing much because I can't seem to keep up with daily activities let alone anything else. Yes, my house is a disaster zone.

I wanted to officially welcome beautiful baby Oscar! He is a cutie!!
