A few things you may not know about me

As a mummy blogger, I share a lot about my life with my readers. From the joys and challenges of motherhood to my favourite recipes and DIY projects, I love connecting with other moms and sharing our experiences. But today, I wanted to take a moment to share a few things about myself that you might not know. So, here are a few fun facts about me!

1. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan.

I know, I know – this one might not be too surprising. But seriously, I love everything about the Harry Potter series. From the books to the movies to the theme parks, I can’t get enough. I even have a Harry Potter tattoo! I love introducing my kids to the magical world of Hogwarts, and we’ve had some pretty epic Harry Potter movie marathons at home.

2. I’m a bit of a coffee addict.

Okay, maybe more than a bit. I can’t start my day without a cup (or two) of coffee, and I love trying out new coffee shops and blends. I’ve even taken a barista course to learn more about brewing techniques and latte art. My kids have caught on to my love of coffee too – my 6-year-old son likes to pretend he’s a barista and makes me “special” coffee drinks with all sorts of crazy ingredients.

3. I’m a dog person.

I know there are plenty of cat lovers out there, but for me, it’s all about dogs. I grew up with dogs and have always had one or more in my life. Right now, we have a rescue dog named Luna who is part golden retriever and part husky. She’s a total sweetheart and loves snuggling with us on the couch. I truly believe that dogs are a member of the family and bring so much joy to our lives.

4. I used to be a competitive dancer.

When I was growing up, I was heavily involved in dance. I started taking ballet lessons at age 4 and went on to study jazz, tap, and contemporary dance. In high school, I was part of a competitive dance team that travelled around the country for competitions. While I don’t dance as much as I used to, I still love going to the ballet and watching dance performances.

5. I’m a bit of a neat freak.

Okay, maybe more than a bit. I’ve always been someone who likes things tidy and organised, and having kids has only amplified that tendency. I love decluttering and finding new storage solutions, and I’m always on the hunt for ways to make our home feel more streamlined and efficient. Of course, with two young kids, it’s not always easy to keep things neat and tidy – but I do my best!

6. I’m an introvert.

Despite being a blogger and sharing my life online, I’m actually quite introverted. I recharge by spending time alone or with close friends and family, and I can get easily overwhelmed in large social situations. I’ve learned to embrace my introverted nature and find ways to make it work for me – like scheduling alone time in my calendar and setting boundaries around social events.

7. I’m a big fan of self-improvement.

Whether it’s reading self-help books, taking courses, or attending workshops, I’m always looking for ways to improve myself and learn new things. I think it’s important to be open to growth and change, and I love exploring new ideas and perspectives. Some of my favourite self-improvement books include “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle and “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert.

8. I love to travel.

Exploring new places and experiencing different cultures is one of my favourite things to do. Before becoming a mom, my husband and I travelled extensively, and we’ve taken our kids on a few adventures too. Some of my favourite trips have been to Japan, Australia, and Italy. Of course, with the pandemic, we haven’t been able to travel much lately, but I’m hoping to plan some trips in the future.

9. I’m a bit of a foodie.

I love trying new foods and experimenting in the kitchen. One of my favourite things to do is find healthier versions of classic recipes and adapt them to my family’s tastes. I’m also a big fan of meal prepping and planning – it helps me stay on track with my healthy eating goals and saves me time during the week. Some of my go-to recipes include homemade granola, vegetable soup, and zucchini fritters.

10. I’m a big believer in mindfulness.

As a mom, it can be easy to get caught up in the chaos and stress of daily life. That’s why I’m a big believer in mindfulness practices like meditation and yoga. Taking a few moments each day to connect with myself and quiet my mind helps me feel more grounded and present. It also helps me be a better mom and partner by reducing my stress levels and improving my overall well-being.

So there you have it – a few more things you might not know about me. I hope this post has given you a glimpse into who I am beyond just being a mom and blogger. It’s important to remember that we are all complex, multi-faceted individuals with unique interests and experiences.
