We all have to begin somewhere....

..so where is somewhere? The first blog post has to be the hardest. Do we introduce ourselves? Have a witty title to capture the audience? Lets just start with the basics!

My name is Alana, I'm 33 and I live in a small town in Caithness, Scotland. I decided after the new year that I wanted to have 2020 to be the year for changes with some extra bits for me in it. I made 8 sort of new year resolutions that I wanted to stick to and have done well so far... but then its only February

The resolutions are as follows:

  1. Be better organised and more productive
  2. Budget my money better
  3. Read more books and start writing
  4. Spend more time with the kids and make memories
  5. Be more efficient at work
  6. Have some more date nights with the hubby
  7. Have a family holiday abroad
  8. Pass my level 1 coaching assessment for Rhythmic Gymnastics
All perfectly achievable and we already have a holiday booked to Lanzarote in April, started reading more books and have the date booked for my coaching assessment.

So then lies the writing part (See resolution 3). This is where this site comes in, I would have loved to have worked for a glossy magazine or newspaper, but my life didn't turn out that way. I could just write in a journal but then it is no use to man nor beast sitting in a notebook from B&M under my side table. I decided I need somewhere for real eyes to see it. Whether they do or not is a good question, but not one I need to have answered right away.

What am I going to write about?

Well the answer is I don't really know yet. I'm going to start by writing about anything I like. Maybe that way I can find my niche and see what people actually want to hear from me by the response. I will write about my journey to complete those resolutions, book reviews, mum life, wife life. Hopefully then I will know what to share, and I hope that people like it.

So I will go ahead and compose my first post and start creating my mark on the world. See you again soon xx
