Life begins at the edge of your comfort zone....

 

Hi, it's been a while, actually it's been a long while
So the last time I clicked on this blog was.....2017? Were now in 2022, I have been through a lot, the world has been through a pandemic, I've worked in 3 different places since then, and I'm very much a different person (in some parts anyway) So let's start over shall we. 


Hi my name is Jess, short for Jessica, I also respond to Jessie, I class myself as an adventuring kind who seeks a challenge and loves getting into anything that really years me, a few to mention being sea kayaking, becoming a manager, my first marathon, a bungee jump, jumping out of a plane, attempted a race across Wales and many MANY more. 


So what is this all about? Well, recently I have undertaken a new project, well several new projects with the rebel merit badge book, its kind of like brownies or girl guides, for adults and it is amazing! One of the merit badges is the writers badge, and one of the options is a blog..... you see where I'm going with this? Over the next 6 months I'm going to work on a blog of all my adventures, journeys, running and more! 
So come along with me as I relive adventures plan new ones and take you through the highs, lows and EVERYTHING in between. 


You can even check out some of our adventure videos here:

Where did my baby go?

(contains amazon associates link)  Hey guys, it's been a while!  My last post was a little before my return to work, were are now half way through  2025!  So where are we? Well little man isn't so little, at 16 months he is in full blown toddler hood, we walk, run, climb, scream, babble, and have super sass (gets that from me), we get frustrated at not being able to do things but want to be into doing everything! He has been at nursery for about 7 months now and has fully settled in found his confidence and loves every day! We have had our fair share of illnesses, accidents and art work and we are currently preparing for the transition to the next room.  As for me, I've settled into being a Mama and a Teacher, I've reflected on my life and started making adjustments, I have also had my fair share of illnesses (though not as many as the boy) and I'm surviving, not quite thriving, but getting closer to the threshold.  What have we been up to? Lately? trying t...

Merry Christmas and here's to 2024

 As 2023 comes to an end and the Festivities have been in full swing, I want to take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.  This year has been filled with mini adventures, the challenges of pregnancy, the journey of navigating a new job role and fitting in general health and well being as well. As for 2024 well that is a whole new adventure!  In my older years i have never really been one for new years resolutions but i do like the idea of making commitments and agreements with myself, and each year they are usually just things that i want to continue working on to continue to support and improve myself, so rather than giving up chocolate or hitting the gym every day I usually focus on things like, lets make sure i focus on my sleep routine, take on more adventures and make sure i move a little daily.  These are normally my big three, there are may things I want to work on and goals come and go, things change and plans get adjusted, fo...

Lets start a new adventure.

 This is only the second time I have had to face him crying as I left him. The first made sense, he was overtired and hadn't napped. This one was a different cry, this was a protest because he knew I was going to walk out the door and not be there. This one hurt me. I do however have the benefit of seeing it from both sides, there is a skill to dropping your child off at nursery the first few times, you have to remain calm, confident, make it quick.  If you linger too long, look nervous or get upset they pick up on it. Quick drop offs help everyone, parents don't linger and get upset as long, babies are easier to settle and nursery workers get more time bonding.  Seeing the sadness hurts though, the cry is different, it hits heart strings you never knew you owned, and you hold back the tears till you're out of view. I cried all the way into town and then some more whilst I ate fried egg on toast.  Deep down I know he's fine, I know he will settle and get distracted a...
