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, for the last few years our biggest dream has been to #DefeatTheDragon a race we did couldn't finish and vowed to complete, however now the event no longer runs and after lots of talks, planning and considerations we have decided that although yes we can undertake it ourselves and do the route and the challenge there are other things we want to focus on. 2023 was kind of the last chance for us-sort of- it will always be a pipe dream just a little further back in the brain. 

2024 will bring us the general challenge of navigating family life with a little one, for me that the actual giving birth and recovery and then for us it will be navigating the trials of life, work, fitness and health around have a family with a tiny little thing. The upper hand for us? I have a background in childcare so I kind of know what to expect, which I think makes it better? sometimes though ignorance is bliss :)

So what is the focus for next year? well I think for me its going to be continuing to work on my own health through sleep, food and staying active, My second is focusing on my family-with a new born and just generally more things with my family, and then my third will be continuing to go on as many adventures as I can though these will be more tailored to suit family life. 

So i suppose I will leave it there really, the year 2023 is nearly over and there are many more months of the journey ahead so lets just keep taking it a step at a time. Wishing you all a fabulous new year. 

Scribble back

lots of love 

Jessie

Birthday bike ride and a declutter

 Hey guys,  Welcome back to the blog, this weeks adventure was a weekend adventure, mostly around the boys birthday!  This week Chris and I celebrated with a birthday bike ride, a short coffee ride before a chill day and the a meal with family. Simple but good fun! We also spent the weekend working on some sorting, for me it has mostly been working through my clothes, keeping what fits and what I wear, and then removing or repurposing what doesn't, it also gave me chance to check what I might want ahead of Christmas, a new coat has gone on the list.  Sunday started with a morning run, then the usual cleaning, and tatting about the house while the slow cooker did its thing and then a few hours of Sims.  Sims is by far my favourite game because you can just do what ever you want with it, I'm currently working my way through a legacy, I think I'm on the 5th generation of the family? Maybe the 6th, either way it's going fairly well which is pretty good! I suppose th...

Adventuring out for some time in the park

Hey guys, Jessie here, todays blog is a look back over our short adventure in the park for a coffee date with my little man!  Living in the flat the first challenge was getting out, not an issue with the use of the sling but with the pushchair it is a whole different ball game. Hubby was on hand but as he is due back at work soon I needed to trial getting me, baby, bag and pushchair all down two flights of stairs. Cue comedic tunes.  With a bit of trial and error for where to place the front wheel that needs to come off to fully fold it down and trialling the best way to carry him and it we made it down in one peice! (And following the coffee date back up in one peice)  We headed out for a walk around the park followed by a stop in the shade to enjoy some time outside, I picked up this handy little travel picnic blanket on amazon for camping and wanted to test it, it's good for what it is and I can't complain for the size and price.  Whilst he rested in the pushchair...

Solo bike ride and Squirrels

 Hey guys,  Welcome back to the adventure blog! A weekly Blog where I share with you my adventures through sports, fitness, life and everything in between! This week I want to share my first solo bike ride, well it's sort of my first solo bike ride.  Okay so background check, its not my first time riding solo on a bike, I use to do it to and from work, and I've been round the park several times on my own, and growing up back home I was always out on the bike, but this was my first solo bike ride that was just a bike ride, not a commute, but a self navigated bike ride, on a road bike, by myself.  I am not as confident a cyclist as i was growing up, but growing up I always stuck to paths or trails and there were a lot less cars, where I live now is busier for cars and I generally try to stay off the path unless its a cycle path, this has meant working my way through building my confidence on a bike.  Chris has taken me out on several bike rides, some long ones som...
