About

I have a body wash that smells like coconut and reminds me of summer and I love it!  Everytime I use it I feel happy and remember shimmery golden afternoons and cold drinks.  Which is (quite obviously) how I came up with the name of this blog.

I've been on a bit of a 'baby making' journey the last couple of years which has of course had its ups and downs, but there is one lesson that I've learned that I think is really important.

Through it all, regardless of the rough times (e.g.miscarriages, ovaries feeling like they are about to burst!, many many many needle jabs) I'm still me, and I'm more than just someone trying to have a baby.

It's very easy to get lost in the whole process and obsess about every little detail (believe me I know), but when it comes down to it, I am still me.  I still have other interests, love other things and get a lot of pleasure out of life.

I can't wait to have kids, and I certainly wouldn't be going to the effort that I am if I didn't, but at the same time, I don't want to be solely defined as the 'poor' girl who has 'fertility issues'.  I'm also the 'lucky' girl who loves cooking, crafty and pretty things, coffee with friends, playing sport, pilates, walks on the beach at sunset followed by fish and chips, travel etc etc etc...

So I'll be blogging about all sorts of things, from baby making to coconut body washes to cooking to traveling! I'd love you to join me.
