As a primary school teacher and a mum to a lively toddler I’ve often thought about what my hobbies are. Growing up I loved dance, especially ballet and kept going with it from the age of 4 to 18 when I started university. I even tried a couple of adult classes there but it just wasn’t the same and life became too ‘busy’ to get into it properly. I’ve never been particularly into anything hobby-wise as an adult, I love seeing friends and family but as far as activities I just like being home and pottering around. I often think about what hobbies I’d love to be passionate about, I’d love to be a chef, start sewing amazing creations, become a bookworm, develop creative homemade items but although I do enjoy these things they just don’t end up being a real passion I stick to!
After leaving university I went straight into my career as a primary school teacher. I’ve worked in several schools and developed my career leading in different areas and don’t get me wrong I do love being a teacher. Working with children has always been a passion but I’ve always wondered about other careers and jobs that I’ve never tried or had chance to look into properly. I’ve always thought about writing but I’ve no real qualifications for it and half the time I’ve no idea what to write about. So here it is… I’ve started this blog to write, to start the hobby I’ve always thought about and what better thing to write about than my absolute, life-long passion of being a mum.
Although this blog is for me, to write and share my ups and downs of mum-hood, I hope it’s useful and supportive to others. Being a mum is as amazing as it is hard and at times can be heart-wrenching. Every mum is on her own journey and mums comes in many different forms but every single one is focussed on one thing; trying to be a good mum! xBx
