Hi, I'm Hawthorn, AKA Amanda. I have four wonderful kids and I'm married to the love of my life (not bad going eh) We have one pet - an English Bull Terrier called Rolo, who I love very much but is a royal pain in the ass at times (like today when she chewed the heel on my boot!) Talk about a 3 year old in a fur coat. Anyway, this blog is about me and my life and things that go wrong, inspirations, things that go right, and just life in general. It's somewhere for me to put my thoughts down, and if someone is listening great. feel free to leave comments, be they negative or positive. I look forward to hearing from you!
