So this is a blog

Is a year a long time?

It always sounds like it but somehow a year can gently slip through your fingers with hardly a thought.

So, rather than letting that happen to the upcoming year I am going to do my best to document it. Rather like keeping a journal but with a more 'modern' feeling than hand writing entries into a book that no one else will have a chance to read. This blog will serve as my vehicle to share with all of you 'My Year at Home' and for those of you who know me well, you know that a year away from my career is, well, really quite strange, no matter the reason. In this case though the reason is pretty damn good. You see I am about to become a mother - yes, you read correctly...a mother...any day now actually.

So over the next 12 months, check back here for the latest on what's happening around the house as I learn to be a mom and explore a whole new side of life - one without a blackberry, sales reports and all the trappings that come with a career in retail!
