Things that I love

So, a little bit about a few things that I love.


I love that feeling that you get when your child smiles at you. There is absolutely nothing in this world that compares. Master 1's smile has the ability to pull me out of my bad mood immediately and makes everything in the world seem right. Whats that I hear you say? What about the GFC and poverty?? It's all good, master 1 just smiled.


I love the smell of jasmine in the air although my sinuses don't. There's just something about the feeling you get after smelling that first hit of jasmine. It signals the beginning of spring and the beginning of months dependent on antihistamines. But most importantly.... Summer is coming!!!!


Summer! I love sitting on our patio, glass of wine in hand enjoying the summer warmth and the good company of family and friends. Watching master 1 run around squealing in the mid afternoon sun after a glorious day just says SUMMER to me.


But most importantly, I LOVE coming home, after a bad day at work and feeling that everything is right in the world. Coming home and seeing the Hubby on the lounge, the dog asleep and content and then sneaking into Master 1's room and seeing him peacefully dreaming, something just clicks. Even after a complete horror of a shift, leaving work feeling as though I didn't accomplish anything for my patients and feeling like a failure, coming home to those 3 beautiful people makes my world go 'round.


I can only hope that everyone has at least one thing in their lives that brings them joy.

A little bit about me

So, I thought I'd give this blogging thingy a go and I thought I'd start with a little bit about me.

First and foremost, I'm a Mum. I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy about 17 months ago after a troubled pregnancy and problematic labour. Young master 1 is the light of my life and keeps me constantly entertained and on my toes. We have our good days and bad but despite the challenges of being a working mum and running a house I wouldn't change it for the world.

The rest of my life revolves around my work, my husband,my friends and family.

I'm a Nurse in a busy Sydney based Hospital. I've been nursing for the past 7 years and really love my job... Most of the time. Along with the lack of pay and long hours, that I'm sure everyone hears about, I also help guide patients and their families through some of the toughest days of their lives. It can be physically and emotionally demanding and over the years, I'd like to think that I've been able to master the art of leaving my work at the door.

My husband and I have been together for 11 years and married for almost 4 of those. We met 13 years ago while i was working for a fast food chain and he kinda sorta stuck. I like to call him my "stalker". If there was ever a poster child for persistance -  then my husband is it. He followed me around for 2 years attempting to secure a date and I finally gave in. And after a slight hiccup at the 3 year mark, we've been together ever since. He is the only man I've ever been able to see myself with for the rest of my life and if I believed in destiny, then I'd say he was my Soul Mate.

I'm the youngest of 3 girls and I'm fortunate enough to still have both my parents around. There's a bit of a complicated family tree hiding in the closet with all the other skeletons but its made me the person that I am today. My sisters... My sisters are complicated.

My friends: I am quite confident in saying that I have the best bunch of girlfriends around. They are all absolutely beautiful women, empowered, have an excellent sense of humour and they all just "get me". I think that last one is the best bit :)

So, thats just a little bit about me and I hope you enjoyed it.

See ya later!
