Ok, so this is it then...I finally got round to writing a blog. After months of deliberation and the thought that maybe not even a single person would be interested (except my fabulously supportive Mum of course, who, let's face it would read this even if I'd typed out my receipt from Tescos...hello Mum!), I decided I really should get on with it regardless.
I guess I never really knew what to write in a blog - I've read so many amazingly thoughtful, poignant pieces, lots of funny stuff and some searingly heartbreaking posts over the last couple of years too, that I didn't know where to start. I do feel it's the right time now though as this year had really been a BIG one for me.

Firstly, I celebrated (I use the term loosely) a significant birthday this week. I turned 40 on Monday - a number I've been dreading! I did have a great day thanks to my wonderful family, but 'celebrate' isn't something I felt like doing at the time.

However, I now feel like I should be celebrating all the amazing achievements and people in my life instead of being a total misery guts....it's just a number afterall and I have so much to be thankful for....
In the space of two months, we have moved into a new house and had a 2nd gorgeous baby

plus I have a wonderful OH (he's my rock) and the most adorable, lively 4 year old who also incidentally, starts school in September!

The business,
Giddy Kipper keeps on growing and we have 2 terrific members of staff with the possibility of a third at Christmas....What a year!

So while I'm on maternity leave, I'm hoping that I will have the time to give you a little insight into my very hectic, giddy life. The people who matter to me, the things I love, interesting places and some behind-the-scenes at Giddy Kipper HQ and how it all began.
Oh, and just in case it is only my Mum reading this, could you get me half a dozen eggs from the market on Saturday please?
Ta-ra for now x
