And Here It Goes

Hey All….

WELL what can I say, the first thing is AAAAAAHHHHHH…. This is so scary; I am starting a new journey. As someone that has suffered her whole life with dyslexia, this is the most daunting thing I have ever done. I have attempted a blog before, but they have been free blogs and I have chickened out within a few blogs. One because i was like ‘KAYLIE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?’ my insecurity got the better of me. But I will Not fail… I am determined to succeed. this is FINALLY something for me. I am a hot mess mum, I mean MESS.

As a mum of four children, it’s not always easy to stay organised. I am a dyslexic, dyspraxic and ADHD (awaiting full diagnosis) mum. This means that I am a little different when it comes to my general brain functioning. I have always been told that I am not academic, or I am more of a Hands-on person, and for so long I just took that as is. I did not ever think that I would be about to attend university yet here I am… I am doing a foundation degree in Birth and Beyond. yes, you heard right birth and beyond. I mean come on I have 4 kids… I would have 50 if I was allowed, but 3 was a push… haha…

This course has changed me forever not only do I feel more academic, I have learnt so much about ME and my struggles. It has really given me the power to accept my flaws and embrace them. I would always be self-conscious about my reading and writing ability and would do anything to get out of those tasks. now I will be the one to volunteer. yes, I make mistakes, all the time and I am sure you have probably picked up on many yourself already ha-ha…

so why am I a hot mess do you ask?… well, I am a hot mess when it comes to ideas in my head, I mean every idea is AMAZING… he-he but they all come at once, normally at night when most people should be asleep especially me, who still have 3/4 kids who wake through the night. and 1 that is currently still breastfeeding. These ideas are helpful sometimes but most of the time they send me down the rabbit hole that is Pinterest… if you would like to see said rabbit holes i go down, follow me on Pinterest using the link above.

Another mess mum issue is my clutter, I am a horder not like those extreme horders where you cannot get into the rooms, but if I don’t change now it will end like that. I mean I have enough clothes for all the kids, that I can go a whole 2 months without doing a single load of washing… please don’t ask how i know that one …. ha.

So, why have I decided to start a public blog? Well, I know that I am not alone in my struggles, and I also know that doing this publicly will help those struggling. I know that it’s okay not to have your crap together, and to still be a perfectly good mum, I also want to document my life changes and my ambitions. so, if you want to learn along with me and pick up some useful tips and trick about parenting, family and self-care. please subscribe below.
