Why I love blogging

I started blogging back in 2018 and now run three blogs, and while it has been a roller coaster of emotions, neglecting the blogs and thoughts of why I even bother, I do actually enjoy blogging.

Blogging is a way I can express myself or put information down that won't only help you guys but could also help me in the future. It's a place I can share my life in a way that isn't a video format. I can be 100% real on my blog, and it not come across a way I don't mean it to (though that can still happen) because I had to edit the video to limit the hateful comments about the length of the video.

I can censer my words if need be, which is a blessing when you have no filter on your mouth. I also like that I can write a whole year worth of blog posts, and no one would be none the wiser. With youtube, people would realise if you pre-filmed a year or even half a year of content and then randomly filmed yourself.

I'm almost due to give birth when this blog post comes out, but while this is posted on the 1st July 2021, I'm actually writing this very post on the 7th May 2021 just so that I can focus on the baby when she is born and not be worrying past June about having to film or write until hopefully September except for may a post or video here and there as I have the motivation and time.

The last few reasons off the top of my head about why I love blogging is because of you guys, the community I have built who comes back each month to catch up on what is going on with me, and the feeling of a clear head after I write a blog post because all my worries vanish and instead I'm left with a floaty feeling, I have no worries, and I'm able to focus on what I need to do.

I cant wait to see what the future brings, but I thank you for allowing me to have this outlet where I can be myself and be accepted because there aren't many places you can have that.

Moving to a new country | with kids

Moving to a new country can be exciting but nerve wracking add in children and it can feel overwhelming to say the least, today I want to share all the advice and tips I have to move overseas after having just made an overseas move for myself with my two young daughters. Mid January I moved from New Zealand back to Australia, some of you may know that I was actually born in Australia and lived over here until 2011 so for me this was about returning home but for my kids it was moving countries for the first time and while my youngest had no idea what was going on as she was only 3 months old my eldest had a range of emotions and it was honestly quite tough on her at times. My first bit of advice is to just talk about the move, explain why you’re moving and what to expect in an age-appropriate way so that they can better understand what is going on, talk about all the positives with the move that would interest them from new experiences to making new friend...

How I track everything I do & how I plan to do better

How I keep track of everything Keeping track of everything I need to do for social media can be difficult and thankfully in 2024 I was getting really good at pre-filming and keeping ahead of all my work. When ever my daughter was away with her dads family I would pre-film my YouTube videos and TikTok’s in advance, I would try to always be a month ahead of my schedule to make it easier. To keep track of what needed to be done I would write out a plan with each date a video or podcast needed to go up and what it was so that I knew what I needed to film and the date it needed to be done and posted by. How I plan to do better I know I struggled to keep on top of everything all the time the last few years with just one child who I did get breaks from at times to be able to pre-film etc. and now with a second child here and in a new country with less time; I know it is going to be harder even though I was just starting to get in a routine so I have spent a while ...

How I hid my pregnancy

It is no secret now that I spent most of 2024 pregnant and I managed to hide it for basically my whole pregnancy without anyone finding out minus who I personally decided to tell. I decided to share my tips on how I hid my pregnancy to help others for whatever reason they decide to not share the big news these can help no matter how long you decide you want to hide it for. Clothing and appearance I opted for loose, flowing clothing like oversized tops and jumpers and towards the end whenever I had people coming over to my house (I rarely left home other than appointments or shopping anyway) I would wear my oodie. Behaviour I made sure I had plausible reasons ready for changes in my diet, avoiding alcohol, or even when I was feeling sick with morning sickness (e.g., diet change, medication, or a temporary health issue). Situational adjustments I tried to avoid situations where my body might be closely scrutinized. I also reduced social engagements where people mi...
