Well hi!

So one my New Year's resolutions (and I have a few!) is to start blogging more regularly.
My life next year is going to be infinitely more hectic than it currently is; in February I start my diploma in Specialist Makeup Services so I'll be doing that three days a week in addition to all my normal mummy "duties" and sourcing work opportunities. Oh plus I'll be working towards getting my license, freaking finally!
My question is:
What would you like to see me blog about?
- The kids, what we do day-to-day, updates on them etc
- My studies/work
- Myself and my interests and passions
- A mix of all of the above

I get a lot of questions on my Facebook and Tumblr (which I shall link below if anyone wants to follow me, alongside my Twitter) about parenting and the way I parent and I am more than happy to do a blog post in regards to that.
Most of the readers of this blog know me personally, but not all according to the statistics and I would love to get to know all you guys as well. I'll be writing a "about me" type post later today (and I still have an Archer update in the works. He's 7 months now WTF?!).
Comment here or email me if you have any suggestions or ideas for topics I can cover, would love to hear from you all.

Straight But Not Narrow

I am someone who identifies as "mostly" straight. I love men. I love women. I love everyone in between. I have always fallen for the person, not the gender and have never really been able to put a label on "what" I am because my sexuality seems totally fluid. I am a human.
And I firmly believe that we are all just people. People who need to be ourselves and encourage others to do the same. People who need to stop hate and hating.
And this is the message of Straight But Not Narrow, a non-profit charity organisation that is doing a whole lot of good in spreading the message of love and telling people it's okay to be yourself, whatever that means for you.
If you feel the same as I do please check out their various sites and socially networking pages that I'll link below. Show your support and get involved in whatever capacity you can, even if it's just clicking the 'like' or 'follow' button.
I don't want my boys to grow up in a world where they can't be proud to be gay, or a straight ally or just a plain, non narrow-minded human being.
We can all make a difference.
