Ever wonder what happens when you find yourself all grown up & you still don’t have a clue? Well this is me; I suddenly became married, mortgaged & a mother. I don’t think I have recovered from the shock of realizing I am a grownup & I’ve got to start acting like one at some point.

In a previous life, I had a pretty jet set career, which meant I was footloose & fancy free. I got to experience many cool things. I had a fun work & social life combo & boy did I enjoy it! I met Mr Dottie in the midst of all this madness & well I decided to hang up my air miles & said goodbye to duty free, for a more home based career. I have been self-employed ever since & have enjoyed being both the monkey & organ grinder.

Two years ago Mr Dottie decided to put a ring on it & well in hindsight, that’s where it all started to change for me. My life subtly shifted to the domestic realm in which I now inhabit….

Fast forward until today, I am still happily self-employed, but now I’ve a little girl in tow. I’ve got a beautiful house, or it will be once it’s finished, by the sea & a sudden fear of ‘How am I supposed to do this?’I’ve learnt its ok to not be a brilliant mummy, sometimes it’s hard & that being a mum can quite frankly suck. But its ok to be less than perfect. Being a parent is like the weather, there are good days & bad, but a little smile or a laugh from my beautiful little nugget can cut through those days like a ray of sun. So what's this all about? To be honest like most things I haven't figured that out yet. This blog is simply the musings of a not so young mummy wondering how do I do this & still keep my sanity?

So if this sounds remotely like you, or your just merely curious, grab a cuppa, take a seat & hang around. You never know this could fun :-)
