1. I just turned 22 years old in July which is also the same birthday as my Fiance, David, my sister, Lauren (we're twins), and my best friend Katie. Yup. Busy month for me!
2. I just gave birth to my first child in April. Her name is Ruth, which was my great grandmas name, and she is truly amazing. I also have a stepson, Corey, who I love as if he was my own child.
3. I got engaged to David last May and we set our wedding date for July 2017. It was supposed to be in May 2017, however, we both decided we wanted to have a baby together before tying the knot so we postponed the wedding to welcome our little girl into the world.
4. I currently work in Asda but I am on maternity leave at the moment and go back in November, just in time for the Christmas rush. I have worked there for almost 4 years and have met some absolutely amazing and lifelong friends along the way.
5. I have a major passion for health and fitness. This blog will most likely be filled with those types of posts with the occasional baby, family or product review post. I am currently on week 4 of Kayla Itsines BBG and I am LOVING the changes in my body so far! I really didn't think I would be able to stick to the program with having a small tot but its only 30 minutes out of my day and David really helps out a lot at home too.
6. My favourite food is Tuna! I could eat it all day every day straight out of the tin but I tend not to because I will get funny looks.
7. I have been to college and studied nursing and also additional support needs. Both are great passions of mine and I loved the courses however I ended up not being able to pass them. Only my own fault because I was young and thought that the work would do itself and it just doesn't work like that.
8. I am a massive pet lover. We own a rabbit called Thumper (original right) and a fish called Boots (from Dora the Explorer. Guess who picked that name). At some point in the future we would love to get a dog, but with wedding planning and a small baby we have decided that right now is not a good time. Perhaps after our honeymoon next September.
9. I have applied for the X Factor twice and got through to the second stage both times. Once was a solo effort and the other was a duo with my sister. My song for my solo was 'Halo' by Beyonce which I must say was probably too powerful for my voice because I'm pretty quiet, and our song for the duet was 'Bad Romance' by Lady Gaga which we ended up posting onto Youtube and also recorded snippets of the audition for local radio stations to play.
10. I love reading books. I may not look like the type that would enjoy just sitting around with a cuppa reading a good novel but it is actually one of my favourite things to do. My fav series is the 'House of Night' books which are teen fiction. A book I have most recently finished was 'Guess who I pulled last night' by Nikki Ashton who is such an amazing writer and keeps the reader engaged through the whole book. I didn't want to put it down!
I really hope you enjoyed this post. It was just a fun little way for you all to get to know me and I couldn't think of a better first blog post!
Happy Thursday! - Its almost the weekend!
