Nearly one!

Oscar will be a year old next month and I’m already feeling so emotional about it!😭
What a year! I actually feel proud of myself for making it through...we’ve had some really challenging times. Being a mum is HARD! It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done but it’s definitely rewarding at the same time.

The other week I was trying to put Oscar to bed and he was fighting it hard (as always). By the end of the day my patience is worn, I’m exhausted and it’s so frustrating when baby thinks it’s party time instead of sleepy time! 🙃🙃🙃 I starting crying and Oscar looked at me, very concerned... he crawled up to me and cuddled me as if to comfort me and after a few minutes he was asleep. It was such a beautiful moment and definitely made me feel like all the struggles are worth it for moments like that 🥰

It’s amazing how fast babies grow and develop and even though the days can seem so long sometimes, it really does go by so quickly! I love watching Oscar learn new things and he is so proud of himself when he figures out how to do something by himself! He has such a cheeky little personality now and is always getting into things and exploring. He loves being around other people but can also be a bit of a mummy’s boy (especially when teething!) I love making him laugh! Hearing his cute little chuckle makes my days so much better. It’s the best feeling in the world to be loved and Oscar has filled my life with so much more love ❤️

I’m sad that we won’t be able to put on a big birthday party for him because of this virus. Even though he won’t remember it, making it through the first year of life is a huge achievement and should definitely be celebrated! I’m excited to continue to watch my little boy learn and grow. For all the milestones he reaches. I will always be his biggest fan and encourage him every step of the way!

Why I still go to church

Most (if not all) of you who know me will know that I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints (Mormon). Growing up,  I think I was the only Mormon at my school (besides my brothers). I wasn’t afraid or embarrassed to let people know, but I didn’t parade it around either. Especially as a teenager, being a member of the church and actively following my beliefs made me pretty “uncool” and I probably did stand out a bit because there were a lot of things that “everyone” was doing that I wasn’t.  I think for a lot of people who have grown up in religious families, those teenage years are really when you start to think for yourself and question your beliefs. Religious or not, its in our teenage years that we really begin to figure out who we are and what’s important to us. For me I think it was probably around the age of 15 that I “gained my testimony” which is a phrase used a lot at church but probably sounds strange to someone outside of it. Basically it ...

Real life

I’ve been thinking a lot about what topic I should blog about next. Every idea I get I dismiss. I don’t know enough about that subject...nobody wants to hear about that...I’m struggling to think of something that I think people will enjoy or relate to. I think I’ve become a bit too focused on the audience and their opinions which wasn’t meant to be the main focus of this exercise. I wanted to be able to just start writing down my thoughts and feelings and for it to be an open book... for people to read and comment on if they choose. I started this blog because I felt like there wasn’t enough people being honest and showing a true representation of their lives on social media. Yet I find myself reading and rereading my blogs to make sure I haven’t offended anyone... to make sure I don’t sound like I’m complaining too much... cutting out parts that I think people will judge me on. Basically editing my blog to make it picture perfect and exactly what I didn’t want it to be 😅 I’m sittin...

“I get by with a little help from my friends”

I’ve never been diagnosed but I’m 99% sure I have social anxiety.  It’s not extreme to the point where I’m agoraphobic or have panic attacks, but I definitely do not feel comfortable in most social settings. I HATE being the centre of attention 😅 As much as I loved my wedding day I did feel  uncomfortable having all eyes on me. I don’t like parties and especially don’t like hosting them. 🙃 Buuuut at the same time I don’t like spending too much time alone either. I have always valued my friends and made them a high priority in my life. Moving to Melbourne was challenging for a number of reasons and one of the biggest ones was not having any friends close by. I feel that the older I get the harder it is to “put myself out there” and make friends. Fortunately as a member of the church I automatically am part of a group of people I can make friends with. However, for someone like me who is not outgoing, it is still a challenge. I used to get so upset about losing friends bu...
