Why I don’t want to be a dance mum.
Posted on August 20, 2018 by Christielee
Adding Dance Mum to my extensive, ever expanding list of job descriptions is NOT happening and at the risk of being vilified I am gonna say it right here right now, I am not sorry for that at all! Before you feel the need…

What’s in a name?
Posted on August 7, 2018 by Christielee
Welcome to Mum. That’s a bad word! and my very first blog entry…..quietly shitting myself over here thinking about pouring my heart out to the interwebby and definitely about to pour a wine to work up the courage to do so! I wanted to give you a bit of an idea of who I am and how we got our blog name.

We are constantly told that our relationship and how it started is ‘odd’ to say the least, some people can’t wrap their heads around the fact that my ex-husbands ex-wife and two of his ex-girlfriends are best of friends.....
-
Yep I know that’s hard to get your head around but we all met after my daughters father passed away.
-
The beautiful curly haired mumma Mase, Jay’s wife before me has a son Max who is my daughters half-brother so it was only natural that we bonded and made sure our children grew up together although we never met prior to that, besides that she is the most beautiful soul to walk the earth!
-
Shazza the beautiful blonde and Ness that tall sexy bitch with perfect eyebrows were both with Jay at seperate times (he loved the ladies!!) and we all had so much love for him, after he passed we all developed a deep love for each other and I know that sounds fucking crazy to many but it seemed like a perfectly natural progression after the unusual sequence of events that occurred.
-
These girls have cried uncontrollably with me and we have laughed even harder(especially playing Cards against humanity last night, that game is completely non PC and funny as fuck!)
-
We have mourned together and healed one another’s souls and broken heart.
-
We have seen the darkest of days together and been each other’s guiding light.
-
We may not be able to see each other all the time but we are ALWAYS there for each other no matter what, we can trust each other and know that whatever the circumstance we will be there for each other whether it’s for a huge girls night or to discuss how to hide the body of another duck head one of us has met we got each other’s back!
-
I rid my life of all toxic people over the past few years and the friends I keep are in my life because they’re my soul sisters, my tribe.
-
These women are a huge part of my tribe, my incredible and extraordinary fucking tribe!

10 years ago I was a mum of 3 but I HATED being a mum, I hated it and constantly reminded myself of everything I had ‘given up’ for these 3 little humans who I CHOSE to bring into the world...
-
It’s a hard thing to admit that I found no joy in raising my girls and still lives my life as a childless woman as often as I could.
-
I went out most weekends and drank most nights, I still took party drugs often and entered into toxic relationships with ‘friends’ and lovers willingly.
My kids spent more time at nanny’s or with their father at home then they did with me and I hated myself for it but I did NOT want to give up my ‘work hard, party fucking harder’ lifestyle.
-
I was a bad mum. -
I gave myself excuses like ‘I’m Doing the best I can with what I have’ but that was a huge pile of bullshit, I was just a lost girl with a huge chip on my shoulder that believed wholeheartedly that the world Owed me something and that my children were an inconvenience.
-
Years and years of therapy, conquering addictions, beating eating disorders, taking parenting classes and learning self love have led me to where I am today. -
Where the universe knew I was always meant to be.
I am a woman who has discovered her worth and has learnt to love herself.
I am a woman who owns her shit and lives her own normal.
I am a woman who loves the life she lives even through loss and heartache I love the life I have been gifted.
-
10 years later and I am a woman who loves NEARLY every moment I get to be a mum to my girls 💜💜

The last night of our holiday and our beautiful land Australia did not disappoint 🌅 -
We are finally home after 9 days away and I am so beyond grateful to every one who opened their home to me and my tribe and welcomed us with open arms.
-
We had a truly amazing, relaxing and eye opening time I can not wait to be up in Qld again soon but for now I am so happy to be in my own bed, showering in my own shower and pissing in my own toilet, you really do not realise how much you love home until you come back from a holiday and find yourself surrounded by familiarity.
-
We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful country 🇦🇺 -
