Things you should know about me
I’m taken. Happily married {most of the time}.
I’m a mum. I don’t like being called Mummy. Mama is my preferred name.
I just moved from the City to the Country. So far I like it.
I can never ever spell zuchinni right. See.
I started this blog as a way to motivate me to lose the baby weight. So far it hasn’t been so successful.
Things you probably shouldn’t know, but I’ll tell you anyway
I am the worst singer in the world and I hate driving at night.
In all seriousness though, let me tell you a little about me and this little blog I started back in 2008. Fat Mum Slim was born not long after I’d birthed my own child. She wanted to be breastfed every hour, I had returned to work as a Nanny when she was 6 weeks old and I was severely sleep deprived. I needed something for me, and my blog was that something. It started off as a place to type my thoughts and soon became a place where people came to read and share their lives as well. Quite quickly I became addicted to blogging and social media.
When my blog turned the ripe old age of 2 years I was approached to work as a social media editor for Australia’s number one parenting website Kidspot.com.au, and so off I went {well, I worked from home but you get what I mean}. Fast forward two more years {and you’re smack bang in the present day} and I decided to take the giant leap and go out on my own, taking on blogging full-time.
Fat Mum Slim is home to the photo a day challenges, a space to share my thoughts, experiences and inspirations, and recipes that I love too.
So grab a cuppa, your camera and join me, won’t you?
