The last time the fam and I went to NY, Isla turned six months old on the trip. One of my ‘things’ has been to push for plan another trip before she goes to ‘big school’ in August. Well. We tried to get the two weeks before school starts, but that didn’t happen. And so. Missing her first week of big school to hang out with her Nana and ‘Mumma’s people’ who don’t actually live on the phone and the…
‘Happy Birthday, baby!’ ‘Go to sleep, Mummy.’ ‘Aren’t you excited?’ ‘Sleeep, Mummy.’ Isla crawled into bed between us, then well, went back to sleep. ‘What time is it?’ ‘Five o’clock.’ ‘Well, shit.

I’ve wanted to update my About Me page for AGES. Or four years. Because somehow, I’m now 36. Even stranger, my fiance has been my husband for nearly four years. And the tiny human we made is now very tall and seventeen, nearly three years old. They are awesome people and I’m glad we get to do life together. However. That’s not really About Me, is it?
