The challenge of motherhood

 As I write this I am 6 days out from the due date of our little one, starting a family is a huge transition for people, it's a big change as you bring a tiny human into the world for many reasons.  One you and your partner are going to go through a range of changes as you get ready for this tiny little creature that basically can do nothing and needs you to do everything for it. Two as the pregnant person your body goes through a mass amount of changes, this varies from person to person and can affect every aspect of your being! Three baby items just take over, it doesn't matter how much you try and streamline the items you're bringing in, or how much storage space you create it just seems to be everywhere!  As hubby and I took on the adventure of family life we have also gone through these changes, the last 9 months have been a journey of learning about my changing body, getting ready to care for a tiny human, making space for said tiny human to live and trying to navig...

Chapter 5: A week in the sun!

 Hey guys!  Welcome back to the blog and the first (sort of) adventure bag challenge off 2024......Well i don't think I can actually count this one as an adventure bag challenge, but it was definitely and adventure!  This year Chris and I went back over to Girona for a week away training camp, This was something we did in 2023 and thoroughly enjoyed, in 2023, we took on some running, riding and taking in the sights.

I managed to tackle one short run/walk in Girona and the rest of the days were filled with hikes, walks, stretching and yoga. This year I found myself more exhausted which is to be expected! Chris still got out on some really good long rides, took on some de...

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...
