Welcome

Hi there! So excited to be starting my own blog. My name is Bec, and I am a blog addict. I read blogs from other Catholic mothers daily- sometimes it is what gets me out of bed in the morning. (Not really, I blame my kids for that- I could easily read blogs while I'm still in bed). Anyways, I kinda feel like the people who write these blogs that I am addicted to reading are actually my best friends, even though I've never met them. So, I have decided that I too will start a blog, so that others can become my imaginary friends :)

So, a bit about me... I am just, only just, shy of 30 years old and have been married to my lovely husband Sam for close to 5 1/2 years. We have three children, Alexander 4 years, Annabelle 2 years and Benjamin 9 months. I always thought that I was born to be a mother... then I had kids :/ Now, I struggle through the highs and lows of marriage and motherhood in a somewhat chaotic way. I am a bit of a perfectionist in theory, however reality seldom reflects the idealistic vision I have. I am completely manic, I overanalyse absolutely everything and I always try to do too much. However, then I come crashing down and spend a day on the couch with a jar of Nutella and Pride and Prejudice playing on the tv, while my children amuse themselves.

As much as I would like to be perfect, have a perfect house and perfectly behaved children who actually listen and don't spend every conceivable moment trying to come up with a new and brilliant way of sending me crazy... but, that's just not me. I am totally flawed, discovering new imperfections daily, however, myself, and my journey as a wife and mother is and always will be a work in progress, and I'm okay with that too :)

If you are still reading, I hope that you enjoy my posts in the future. They will be an honest and reflective view of my journey.
