I'm Back.......

Well I am imagining that this has to be the longest time between posts for a Mummy Blogger. I think I might be  back for good. Lots has happened in my life over the past 2 years and I felt that I had to deal with it before I put it out for others to read. I also felt I couldn't post "just stuff" when I was feeling so unhappy.
I am ready to share my thoughts now so I will give you a quick update of the past 2 years.
The first thing was my father was suffering from Cancer and sadly passed away in February 2010. I still find this hard to talk about and miss him everyday and the other thing was I was very unhappy with my career. I have taken some time out and I am being a stay at home Mum for a while... although I will need to find some type of job soon.
I am so lucky to have a very supportive husband who at any time soon will be posted to Sydney with his job as a fireman in the NSW Fire Brigades. I am not looking forward to this at all. Being a very career driven person myself I totally understand the need for him to do this   (I just wish it was me)!
My girls are growing up! Octavia will be 8 in 2 weeks and has asked for a ipod touch for her birthday. She loves school and is now in year 2 and has many friends. She plays netball on the weekends and is CRAZY about dancing.... she is very committed to this and lasts year's highlight was her being part of a team that won an Australian title at the All Stars Cheerleading Nationals. I will post some photos over the next few weeks as a catch up.
Piper is 4 now and we laugh at her and with her everyday! We also wish at times we could give her away... She has a wicked sense of humor and is very egocentric. This makes my days very frustrating and funny at the same time. She goes to preschool 2 days per week and also LOVES dancing.
I have many great friends that have been supportive over the past few years, this I am very grateful for.
Two of my good girlfriend friends and I have recently launched a brand of handmade hair and jewellery accessories called 7 lil' girls so this is keeping me busy for the moment.
Now that I have started I feel that I have so much I want to share about my life.... so stayed tuned.
