Some things have changed, first things first...

I had to stop blogging for a while, things were getting very stressful in my life and I felt that I wasn't ready to share it all. However now that I am accustomed to the changes, I think I am ready, so here goes.


First thing - I left my husband. I wont tell you that he was horrible or hurt me or anything like that. Or say that I did something wrong and had to leave him. We grew apart. It can happen in any relationship and I realised that at the time, I needed a break. The longer the break we were having the happier I realised I was single.

We now get a long better than we have in years and our two girls have become accustomed to two houses and speaking to the other parent on the phone at bed time. It was hard for all of us to begin with but we are making the best of it.

I've found I have more time to spend with my girls, giving them attention I could never have before. 
 

 I had the chance to go to Sydney for a girls weekend to meet some beautiful ladies and catch up with my wonderful sister in law.

My house is very different as well, very sparsely furnished but it is allowing me to decorate in ways I have never thought of before.  This isn't what I had in mind but it did give me the opportunity to clean up the back yard.

Buy some shoes that I have wanted for ages, just because.

Birthdays have been a bit different, celebrating with just my family, but we still have a great time.

And experiments with cooking.  I've never been a big cook, usually pasta is the extent of my skills.  However as I am feeding my girls and me now, I have branched out to more complex meals and birthday cupcakes.  There have been some successes, but also some spectacular failures. 

But I am putting everything down to a learning experience at this time of my life.  No mistakes, no regrets, I don't have room for them.  Life is new and fun.
