My First Blog

I don’t know what I’m doing, not really that unusual for me, I have always been the type of person who wants to help people, I will try something new I think to myself, so i will spell things wrong, I will throw in the occasional swear word and no doubt upset someone including myself but what have I got to lose.

So I will start by introducing little ol me, I’m shelley, tattooists wife, mum to 3 step mum to 1 and grandmother (gosh that makes me feel so old) to 2, also been blessed with our amazing boxer Fudge.

This blog & hopefully ongoing social media help is all about life after your children grow amongst other things.

As this is my first time I’m sure it will go wrong but bare with me, I feel like we could get on, I feel like I’m going to gain as much out of this as you will out of reading it.

Im going to talk a lot about my experiences and at 42 I’ve had a fair few, I was a teen mum, I was diagnosed with an underachieve thyroid in my 20’s, I’ve had anxiety and depression on and off since as long as i can remember, I’ve been married 3 times, I’ve witnessed lots of death and thankfully birth, I’ve had home births and hospital births, I’m now, along side my 3rd and final hubby running a tattoo studio, feeling a little lost after dedicating my whole life to my kids, meaning no college or uni, no career, just fab memories and great children, now they need me less so time to figure out ‘whatsnextmum”.

So my thoughts are I will pick a topic and have a chat, share my experiences and hopefully hear yours, maybe you can share too.

I’m just a normal girl living a bit of whacky life, come and join me and my loves on this imperfect life.
