I’ve decided it’s time to write my very first blog post — and share a little piece of my life with you.
Who I Am
People often tell me they don’t know how I manage to do everything I do — but I love keeping busy!
At the moment, I am a wife, mum, grandma, daughter, sister, carer, welfare officer, volunteer, and dog owner. Life is full, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Looking Back
I am 56 years old and have been with my hubby since I was 17. We got married in 1991 and have been happily married for 34 years.
When I think back to when I first met him, I was a very different person. I was quiet and shy and would not have said “boo to a goose,” but I’ve grown so much since then — more confident, adventurous, and ready to embrace life fully.
My Life Today
I am mum to three beautiful daughters. Two are married, and the youngest lives with her partner.
- My eldest daughter has a three-year-old daughter.
- My middle daughter has a five-year-old son and a three-year-old daughter.
- My youngest daughter is expecting her first baby in January 2026.
In 2021, my husband and I made a huge decision and downsized from our family home of over 20 years to move closer to our daughters.
When my daughters returned to work after their maternity leave, I started helping out with childcare. My friends think I’m crazy to give up so much of my time caring for my grandchildren, but I absolutely love it and feel so grateful that I can support them.
Being a busy grandma, wife, and volunteer keeps my days full and lively. I hope you enjoy reading about my life, my adventures, and the joys (and occasional chaos!) of being a busy grandma.
