Doing some 'me' things

So this writing/blogging thing has really sucked me in! I'd forgotten just how much I actually love sitting down and writing.

Some gorgeous friends and I have recently been discussing what makes us 'me'. Or more to the point, did we lose being 'me' when we became wives and mothers? When we were little, what did we want to be when we grew up?

It's stuck in my mind and I've been thinking about it heaps lately. What does make me, 'me'?

I remember being in Year 12 and really having no clue what I was going to do with my life. When I was really young, I had dreams of being famous. Of dancing and singing. (Yes, I was your typical first-born Leo child!) But I never did go down that path as a profession. 

There's so much to me. I love my babies, my husband. I love photography. I love fashion. I love home things. I love chocolate, Mexican food and champers. My friends, my family, making others happy. I love sunny days and rainy days. Reading blogs and Pinterest.

But what do I do that's just for me? When I was younger, I'd take to pen and paper and write everything down - hopes, dreams, feelings. I'd spend hours writing stories. But over the last few years, life has been a tad busy...! 

So this blog has been fantastic for me. It's helped me find my love of writing again. And if it's time to do something for me, I want to write.
