She's back!!

It has been over a year since I have even dared look at this blog never mind written a post.

Thanks to a busy home life trying to juggle a social life, decorate my new home and balance an often stressful work life, I lost all motivation to write.  I also stopped taking time for myself, so there was no products to show off and tell you about, no new make up looks and I became much more at home in my jammies than dressing up in heels.

If you follow me on instagram, you will have been able to follow loosely what I have been up to and you will know it is nothing worth blogging about.

I did play about with a new blog name for a while but the truth is I missed Saskia.  She was my blogging buddy and I liked having an alter ego to express myself through.

So, she's back .... But not quite as you will remember her.

On Thursday 26 September, my period was 2 days late and urged on by a friend, I drove to my local supermarket and picked up some cheap pregnancy tests not really believing anything would come of it.

I don't remember much in between other than within seconds of taking the test - 2 lines appeared and my husband and I tried to get to grips with the news in between fits of laughter! Did anyone else do that?  Must be nervous excitement/disbelief/shock!   Although, we had been discussing having a baby and planning for it, we really hadn't expected things to progress so soon but we were nonetheless delighted!

So that's where my journey begins.  When I found out I was pregnant, apparently my teensy weensy baby was only the size of a sesame seed.  Quite miraculous that now at 20 weeks pregnant, half way through my pregnancy, I am sporting quite a bump!  As well as posting about the good old stuff, make up, clothes, interiors, I hope to document my pregnancy and experience of life as a mum when the time arrives.

I can't remember a lot of the old tricks of blogging, like resizing pics for instance but please bear with me ... i'll get there! Baby brain or not! ;)
