Life under a Pepper Tree

No time to post yesterday. My mothers group catch up was in the middle of the day and the hours just seemed to fly by. It was a super hot day yesterday so trying to find something suitable to wear was enough of a challenge. Most of the breastfeeding tops I own are all tight fitting Lycra tops and that was the last thing I wanted to wear in the heat. I did manage to find a loose fitting shirt and skirt to wear from my pile of clothes I hadn't managed to sort through just yet. When I ventured up into our roof space the other day to store away the majority of my maternity clothes I did come across a couple of boxes of clothes I hadn't touched in a few years. These were the clothes I put away after a lot of hard work at the gym, so affectionately known as my 'fat clothes'. I swore I never wanted to touch the clothes again when I put them away. There were numerous times I was so close to throwing them all out - more motivation to never become that size again. But I didn'...

Well, I've made it. Second post. I wasn't sure I'd make it this far. If we are going to be honest, really really honest, I'll admit the first post almost didn't make it. It was written, then almost completely lost - thanks to the battery dying on the iPad. I checked it, saved it, went away and thought about it for a while. Came back and changed it again, walked away, was ready to hit the delete button, thought about it a bit more. Eventually it made it online and I'm still tempted to remove it altogether. But I'm going to resist.... For now. So what do I have to say today. Not too much for now. I guess this is my fear, having a blog but nothing worthy of writing about. For now it doesn't matter. I'm not telling anyone of the existence of this blog so I don't have to worry. And should someone stumble across it, then that's fine. I guess I'm a bit of a worrier. Never quite knowing what to say or do and I'm sure this may come across in...

Welcome. Hello. This is blog post #1. What am I doing writing a blog? Well, I can tell you I'm really not sure. I woke up yesterday with this itch to write what was going on. I started to set up this blog and well... Life just got in the way. So here I am. What to say? Well maybe I guess I should start with a bit about me and what was on my mind yesterday that made me want to write. So me. My name is Belinda Harris. I am a wife and now a new mum to a gorgeous new bubba boy. I'm on maternity leave from my job and enjoying my time at home. I'm expecting to go back to work near the end of the year, so for now I'm trying to make the most of my time with my wee boy. I'm married to Leigh who's been the love of my life for the last 13 years. We've not long ago celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. Boy time does fly! We certainly never rushed into marriage as there was always so much to do, namely renovations on our house and working on our cars. Leigh and I ...
