Day 1 : "My Life in 250 Words...."

So this month I am going to be following a "Blog Every Day in May" challenge....

I read about it over at Misty's blog & as she's a fun & very funny girl who is also participating, I thought I would join in too :)

There will be a different topic to write about every day....

some of the topics will be very short & some of them are photo challenges.

You can read more here ....

Anyone else want to join me?

The topic for today, May 1 is

"The story of your life in 250 words or less...."

I was born in Wales but have lived in London since I was 6.

I love London but my heart is 100% Welsh.

I have 2 brothers & my parents, who never should have married, separated when I was 8.

I'm the oldest child, people often think I'm the youngest – it can feel that way with 2 brothers!

When I think of my childhood, I feel like it consisted of me reading a million books....

& not having a boyfriend until I was 19!

I loved my all-girls private school & read French & English at University.

I've never really known exactly what I wanted to do or be.

I always knew that I wanted to marry & have children though....

I've been married for 15 years & have a daughter of 12 & a son of 7.

My life before age 22 was a bit sad & complicated by family stuff.

My life after 22 has been lovely - I graduated, started work & then went to the US which was a turning point in my life.

I’ve worked in finance, healthcare, a US summer camp, retail, administration, as a PA and magazine publishing….amongst a few other things.

I have lived in France & the US.

I became a full-time stay at home mother 7 years ago & now work from home, this includes my blog which I’ve been writing for 4 years.

I love where I live, my girlfriends, a large cup of tea or a large latte & a good chat, cake, movies, blogging, books, anything grey, a good beauty product, magazines, the south of France & NYC.

270 words...best I could do!
