Life update



I'm sorry I've been absent a lot recently but I plan to get back on track soon just may take me a while but for now I thought I would let you in on what is happening in my life at the moment. 


I have been really stressed out recently juggling housework, baby and being in a lot of pain from Endometriosis so I have just taken a step back from all my social media for a bit to focus on what really matters, my family. 


When we moved houses in October baby was only 9 weeks old so I didn’t get much actually done when it came to unpacking and recently I was out on antidepressants again which made me finally be able to cope with my feelings and I noticed the mess of my house so I have been cleaning and organising like crazy.  


At the start of the year my endometriosis flared up which has led to a lot of pain and days were I can barely move off the couch so I have just been taking it a day at a time and taking help when needed. 


I only have three rooms in my house left to sort and clean which is a big improvement and I’m super happy with the process I have made but I have only been managing a few days a week to get anything done after that I have to rest as to not make my body hate me but I have also made Friday’s mummy daughter day which has been really nice. 


Things are finally looking up and once I get back in top of my house and let my body rest a bit I will be back to working on my social media even if it’s not as often as I was so please bare with me as things change.
