five

 5 years

its been since i started writing this blog

i honestly had no idea where it was going to take me

been looking back at those very first posts

i remember how excited i was about getting back to making again

actually making time to make

it was at a time when i'd stepped back from a leadership role

to spend every moment i could with our growing baby boy

in starting my blog i think i had the idea that it might help 

to ground me in my role as a sahm

but it also opened up a community

of real people whom i have a lot in common with

 at first i really admired the more predominant os creative bloggers

now i'm more about my blogging friends

people i now know & have spent real time with

the meeting real bloggers really began with this amazing patch-worker

as she responded to a block swap i organised

i should thank her for the kick to go on

a bloggers weekend in Sydney

where i met a stack of girls ..... 

now i'm not great at grasping names straight off & you know

some were more memorable than others hey! (cheekily said!)

from there well .... i made an incredible friend

and have spent a few wonderful weekend retreats

with more creative minds

love being part of this wonderful community

.... here in the world of blogs & on FB & also IG

love your work lara, tan, kylie, anna, annie, 

jodie, nikki, nicole, cath, gina, kathryn, rach & kathryn

& lots of others xo

part of my online 'village'

its been a fabulous 5 years

i have wondered a bit lately as to why i still blog

i think its now as much for me as it is the few people

who read along ... yep

so if you do read along

i'd love a comment or so along the way xo
