20 Facts About me

 I always enjoy these sort of posts so thought I would share some things you may or may not know about me!

1. I don’t drink hot drinks. When I say I’ll pop round for a cuppa I actually mean a glass of squash.
2. I had my whole labour & birth photographed by my lovely sister in law who was our birthing partner but is also a very talented professional photographer! It’s not for everyone but we have some beautiful photos that I’ll always treasure.
3. I’m a carer for my disabled dad as well as working three days a week in the office.
4. I’m a complete wuss and scared of most things especially heights and open staircases.
5. I’m the worst nail painter ever. Luckily my friends are pretty good at doing them for me instead 😉
6. I have a serious sweet tooth. When I go out for dinner I always look at the dessert menu first!
7. I’m obsessed with planning and hosting parties. Pinterest is my best friend 😉 Lots of people might think it’s OTT but I want Bella to have extra special Birthdays/ Christmas’/ Easters every single year because I never really had that growing up. She’s not even two and I already have ideas for her third birthday! 😉
8. I’m very lucky to have had the same group of close friends since I was 13. They were my bridesmaids at our wedding and although we’re all doing different things in different places now when we get together it’s like we haven’t been apart.
9. In February I had over 8 inches of my hair cut off and donated it to The Little Princess Trust who make wigs for children who have lost their hair through cancer treatment.
10. Fresh flowers and chocolates are the way to my heart.
11. I never leave the house without my make up on. Ever.
12. I have never driven on a motorway.
13. Autumn is my favourite season. You can read more on that here.
14. I’m a pretty good baker even if I do say so myself.
15. I hate scary films and TV programs. No thank you, I’d rather not give myself nightmares or scare myself more than I already am of LIFE.
16. I can’t buy a bra without getting the matching bottoms too. It’s true that matching underwear makes you feel like you have your shit together, even when you don’t 😉
17. I’m a proper country bumpkin. I have always lived in small quiet villages and can’t imagine ever living in a town or city.
18. Despite being a country girl, my favourite ever holiday was when Josh and I went to New York City when we were 16. We are hoping to go back possibly next year!
19. I’m not a huge drinker but I’ll never say no to a cocktail. Especially a Cosmo 😉
20. I can’t wait to hopefully have another baby in the next couple of years and give Bella a sibling. It gives me butterflies whenever I think about it.

Thanks for reading!
