Blogging - never saw it coming but having found a couple of interesting ones which I now read daily I confess I am hooked. My little family and I live in the green and pleasant land of the South West - recently it has been more suited to rice farming however the sun has started to shine and summer will come (I keep telling myself that daily of late - nothing like being hopeful and yes I know it's only February)......
The little family which started with dear hubby and myself - grew nearly 7 years ago with the addition of dear daughter and a couple of years later by dear son. God gave me two hands and two children - frankly I have taken the hint! I have the sneaking suspicion that adding too many children could very easily take me from parenting to damage limitation. I am reluctant to roll the dice again - particularly as there is the occasional twin birth in both parent lines!
Having survived the tweenie years with both sproglets now engaged in full time education life has yet again moved on. My part time work from home has stepped up and to add a joyous flavour into the mix we have decided to up size our abode (more on that another day).
Family life can be surreal at times - we try to be considerate with our resources, be they financial, material or time. I love the frugal blogs and yearn to have chickens and a veggie garden that can actually produce a reasonable yield. Frugal living came after our wake up call a couple of years ago - we finally achieved our debt free status in May 2013 and bar the mortgage that will hopefully be it once and for all. Student loans, getting married, first house, moving south, children and maternity leave mixed with a lack of maturity put us there - the theory is that we are now older and wiser - we live in hope at least!
So there we have it - my first blog post - I will try to keep things amusing but I do have the ability to rant ever so often but I aim to keep that to a minimum. Now I suppose I sit and wait and see if anyone reads this - alternatively I may just retire to the sofa for a brief flick at the gogglebox before sleep time.
Love LAGL xx
