So, this is me.....

I must say writing my first blog is a lot harder than I had imagined.  Considering that I have been talking about doing it for three years now you would think I would have even the slightest clue on where to start and what to talk about.  After much deliberation I have decided on this:

Hi, my name is Chelsea and I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and much much more.  I would love to say that I am the type of person who keeps a clean car....but I am not.  I love a good latte (oat latte at the moment- but we will get to that another time!), I am a sucker for a good eyebrow thread, love, love, love TV of all sorts (I do not discriminate), I am finally learning to trust my instincts, even if they may be a little left of centre and not understood by some and mostly, I am a happy (but very busy) mama bear to two of the most exceptional little people I am sure I will ever meet.  I am eternally grateful that my husband still rocks my socks and I am thankful that we are taking the journey of life together. 

I dream that one day we can have a garden that we can grow most of our vegetables in (operation veggie patch is planned to start soon!), that our new home will be finished and that all of our boxes will finally be unpacked but mostly, I would like to take the time to remember that I am a work in progress, not always perfect and that I need to be kind to myself a little more often.

You will soon learn that I respect and appreciate authenticity and find the truth both liberating and inspiring.  Sometimes life is beyond wonderful, sometimes it sucks hard and what I find to be courageous is the person who is not afraid to tell it like it is rather than telling the world life is wonderful all the time.  I try to be that person because I feel honesty is beautiful and I'd rather be imperfect and real than perfect and fake any day.

So, that's me.  Mama, wife, TV lover and still searching for my place in life.  Life is crazy busy, deliciously fun, testing and frustrating at times, blissfully messy and above all so imperfectly perfect.  There is not much more I can do than buckle in, enjoy the ride and live life to the full from the honey pot!
