Welcome to my blog

So for ages I've been wanting to come up with a decent blog that people will hopefully find interesting. After a few failed attempts this is my last shot so wish me lots of blogging luck! I guess now is a good time for me to start a blog as I have a lot going on in my life at the moment to write about.

firstly a bit about me...

newly turned 30 (still not used to it) and pregnant with my first child a baby boy! rewind 1 year when me and Mr M decided we wanted to try for a family. after many months of failed attempts tears and tantrums I finally got my positive pregnancy test on 12th October 2018 confirming I was 6 weeks pregnant! totally shell shocked as id recently had tests done at my GP surgery confirming I was not ovulating. (the thing us women need to do to make a baby for anyone who isn't clued up on this sort of thing.)

just one week before the exciting news that I was pregnant I had infact run oxford half marathon! totally unaware id run the 13.1 miles with a bun in the oven. I finished not in the best of times but I made it across that finish line and wore my medal with pride.

So here I am 5 and a half months later in my spare room deciding to write a blog. My life is reasonably normal I work full time as a chef in a small hotel in Oxfordshire, recently a home owner with Mr M (the husband). I love running its my dream to one day run the London marathon. I have a huge passion for mental health, one of my old school friends sadly took her own life 4 years ago this year which is what prompted me to start running to raise money. I have my own issues with mental health which I may or may not write about at some point in this blog.

I really hope you enjoy reading about my adventures into motherhood my ramblings about mental health and maybe some of my awesome baking recipies
