So much has changed

s

Hi lovelies,

Happy new year! Although I do feel like I’m a little too late to be saying that really.

It has been a very, very long time since I have done this whole blogging thing, but as its a new year I finally feel like the time is right. On my last post (which was a long time ago) I was telling you all about my beautiful daughter Delilah who was 10 months old at the time and who is now Two and a half (where did that time go???) and after that post my life got slightly hectic, not only was I still quite a new mum but I was also very close to getting married to the lovely (if slightly sarcastic) Ben, which happened just before Delilah’ first birthday on June 30th 2016 which you may remember being a very special date for the two of us as it would have been Jaime’s first birthday whom I had a miscarriage with shortly before getting pregnant with Delilah and it felt a very right way for us to celebrate him and that day forever more.

So I am now a married woman (which still makes me laugh sometimes when I think of it because surely I’m still 15 no?) and shortly after we got married we found out that we where lucky enough to be expecting again which after another miscarriage a few months before the wedding was lovely, exciting if ever so nerve wracking news. And because I had Delilah early at 24 week’s we also had that worry on our shoulders.

But thankfully even though we had a lot of scares along the way and I was in labour for a ridicules amount of time somehow she held on and  our second daughter  Arabella Olive Blossom Dawson was born at an Amazing (for us anyway) 36 weeks and we got to take her home the next day (we also had to take her back in because of a bit of jaundice but still that was only for another day) so nothing like Delilah’s start for life.

And that was way back in April so now I am sat here writing this with a two and a half year old and a nine month old not quite wanting to admit that it’s bedtime (joy)

I started this blog four or five year’s ago (I can still blame baby brain for not remembering that right?) and my life has changed so very much in that time, but in 2018 I want to start documenting what it’s like now and getting back into writing because I’ve missed it and as I’m sure any other parents out there will agree although being a parent is amazing and lovely, its still bloody hard work at times so it’s nice to be doing something for myself again too.

(all going to plan) I’m hoping to be writing about 2 posts a week on a Monday and a Thursday, so do pop back and have a little peek (and maybe moan at me if I haven’t stuck to that routine)

So I hope to be hearing from you all very soon but for now,

Thanks for reading

Love Benita

A Few Thing’s

In the past few month’s I’ve only written a handful of post’s on this little blog of mine and yet I’ve had so much going on in my life that it’s probably the time when i have had the most to write about. And i think it took me writing my last post to actually make me realise this, because writing everything down that i wanted to say to our little one that we lost early into my pregnancy really did help me to feel a little bit more in control just as everything was spiraling out of it (if that make’s any sense at all?) and it made me feel like i was doing something worth while instead of what i had been doing up until that point which mainly consisted of me crying my eye’s out and wishing that everything wasn’t just carrying on as normal when my whole world had been torn apart (hey i might as well be honest here)

Writing thing’s out on here just make’s everything seem like it make’s a bit more sense, and even the thing’s that will never make sense it’s nice that once there written down they aren’t just spinning around in my head (and yes i do realise that i really am just rambling on now so i shall move on and actually get on with my point with this post)

And that point is i really have to get back to writing on here a lot more because really i miss it. I miss writing review’s on lovely and not so lovely thing’s plus just writing something a little bit random sometime’s is quite nice.

And okay i may have to give in on the nail post’s because let’s face it that just isn’t going to happen and to tell you the truth right now i haven’t even got very nice nail’s (rather bad for a beauty blogger i know) but from today i shall stop nibbling them and get them back to normal as it is very close to being a brand new year then i can set myself a new challenge (but maybe this time i may go with a polish of the week rather than every single day because that seem’s a bit more practical)

Plus i may also add a few wedding themed post’s into the mix now as back in September i got engaged and to be fair i never knew quite how many wedding thing’s where out there or just how into wedding’s i actually was (turn’s out i rather like them) but there is a very lot of planning that goes into them and well been as i have just said myself that this blog help’s make thing’s clearer that could come in quite handy. And it should make for some fun post’s i think especially as we already have our theme sorted and are going for … Alice In Wonderland, because let’s face it you can have a lot of fun with that theme Mad tea party anyone???

Also i really need to get more Lush post’s up on here because i miss them a lot and that used to be my main (some would say obsession) plus now they have all of their christmas goodies back in store so you just know wonderful thing’s await. I shall be popping in their next week so make sure you keep an eye out for those post’s

If you managed to keep reading this far thank you for taking notice of my ramblings, it truly does mean a lot to me and i am sorry if none of it made any sense 🙂

Thank’s for reading.
