I figure the best way to let people know what this blog is going to be about, is to let people know what I'm about. I guess on paper I'm pretty simple, I'm a 27 year old, married mum of three who works at Lush. I wash clothes, wipe snotty noses, cook meals nobody eats, pray for bed time and then cry when they all fall asleep because I already miss them. For a long time that was who I was, black and white, mum and wife. That's not true though. I'm also Dominique Thorpe, wiccan, lover of baths and candles. I'm someone who laughs whenever the opportunity presents itself and I laugh loudly. I'm someone who dreams of writing the books you'll read in silly voices to your children when they're safe and warm in their beds at night, reflecting on how their parent/s have given them the best day of their life. Again.
I just think parenthood can be so lonely, trying to juggle being who you are and who you want to be. Being a parent without losing yourself, the guilt when you do something for you, the loss of identity, it's just so fucking so hard sometimes ya know? I think we all need to see sometimes that we're not in this journey alone, that's what I want from this blog. I want to find myself, fall in love with writing again and I just want to make this whole parenting adventure less isolating. Talk about the shit we think we're going through all alone and be vocal about the fact we're not. That's what I want. That's what I hope you'll get.
Also the most important people, the people who made me a mum. Meet Spencer(8 months), Taylor(2) and Sally-Ann(10); my literal sunshine.
