Let’s get this Started

It is time to get this started. I have been trying to start blogging for far too many years, however life and mental health kept getting in the way, as well as a bit of procrastination thrown in. So now, I am going to give this a other attempt, as I have so much going on in my mind, that that I would love to share with who ever reads this.

My blogs will be about my life as a single mum, the highs, the lows and the truth. I am not going to make my life look all sparkles, rainbows and diamonds,  when there are far too many cracks, dust and cobwebs. I do wish my life were all unicorns, glitter and rainbows however it isn't and I am not going to claim anything it's not. I am honest, and I will write about those times my kids make me nearly pull my hair out, as well as those times where great things happen.

I am a single mum of 3 boys, all with varying disabilities, finances are a struggle, but we make do with what we have. I have recently had to move rentals, as December 2023 my landlord sold the house and after 10 years, and the new landlords kicked us out. They could renovate it, put a unit out the back and make alot more money off it. So this was a huge kick as I had to use all my home deposit savings to move and pay a few months of rent in advance. I dream of owning my own home, so parts of this blog will be about us saving for a home. We make the most of what we have and are grateful for that.

As previously mentioned, I am a single mum of 3 amazing sons. I do have the boys full time, with no support from their father, or family or friends. And, before you jump up and down about me having the boys full time, it was court ordered that the father is not to see the children. This was due to a variety of factors, which included the stability of his mental health and how his temper had a negative effect of the children. So yes, we left due to DV and spent some time in a Woman's refuge before moving to where we were previously to this rental. I will do more posts about this and our highs and lows and how we have made it through and how we still struggle with the after effects.

I also grew up in foster care, and have my fair share of adventures through my life. Many times, people tell me i should write a book, but for now I am doing this blog and frankly, others have gone through worse. 

So, just from this intro, you can tell that I have alot to share, and alot to talk about. My life has not been easy, however, I do hope that if someone reads this that has gone through or is going through something similar, that is may help a little.

So come along, and follow our journey, hopefully with our stories or hints and tips, we are able to help other.
