My first foray into blogging, on being a mum.

I decided that as I don't keep 'baby' books for any of my three kids I should start keeping track of their lives a bit better and as an internet junkie it seems simplest (and most likely to happen) if I do it electronically!

Right now my boys are 14, 10 and 1. More accurately Tom is 14 years and almost 7 months, Harry is 10 years and almost 8 months and Ben is 19 months old. I should have started this when they were younger, it's something I always meant to do but never got around to - baaaad mummy!

Being a mum is all I ever wanted - all my friends at school knew that I had no grand career plans, all I wanted out of life was to settle down and provide a stable loving home for a couple of children. I have been amazingly lucky to have a loving husband and three wonderful, healthy boys who are the centre of my world.

I, like many mums I'm sure, often feel I could be doing better for my children - I should spend more time with them, do more exciting stuff with them, but I guess we do plenty and they seem to love the life they have.

Tom goes to scouts and tae kwon do, Harry goes to a church kids' club, cubs and tae kwon do and Ben and I go to toddler group once a week and try and swim once a week too. We also get together with friends who have small children. A lot of the time we hang out at home making dens, reading books, 'cooking', drawing, painting, that kind of thing.

We try to fit in doing things as a whole family too, sometimes we go geocaching, though not as often as we did. We like walking and cycling as a family too.
