My new outlet...(Out with the old - in with the new!)

Welcome all, (whoever decides to read this!)

My new outlet. A new way to express myself and share a bit of insight into the world of a 'mother of three'.

Since recently 'de-activating' my Facebook account, not only have I felt a large weight being removed from my shoulders and a considerable amount of time being welcomed back into my life, I have begun to appreciate and focus on the things that are most important to me.  Family, health and happiness.

I no longer compare myself to others and their seemingly perfect lives.

I no longer scruitinise my own life and what I 'don't have' and begin to appreciate what I do have and be grateful for it.

I no longer feel depressed, angry or pressured to 'keep up with the Jones'' and am learning to value those who accept me for who I am, not what I have.

I urge anyone who's ever felt these feelings to remove themselves from social media for just a week - and embrace the difference!

Although I feel better for removing myself from FB, I do however, feel I have lost touch with a lot of friends and family whom I do not get to see on a regular basis.  This is what I miss about FB, so I decided to merge my love of people and my love of the written word to form this blog!

That way people can choose to read or not.
They can choose to look or not.
They can choose to comment or not.

And it is not forced upon them in a regularly updated news feed!

Nothing too fancy or too insightful posted on here, just things a mother of three may feel the need to share from time to time!

Thank you for reading - hope to see you on here again soon! xx

    Great idea, loved reading your blog! I'm not quite sure what I'm doing (just lost a comment I made ... think because I'm not logged in?!). Loved seeing your holiday pics, looks like you had a great time, bet the girls loved it!

    See you at school.

  2. Dee,

    I love this! I've been wanting to delete my facebook as I'm sick of the drama associated with it. Only thing is I have my photography business page on there. I have another profile with no friends that I had linked to my page a little while ago that I think I might reactivate that and ditch the other one. I'm not really sure what I'm doing on here and I think I have another profile set up somehow??? :-)
