Everyday Everybody: Claire.

The Everyday Everybody interview series has been really fun, and a great way of getting to know people. The questions are randomly picked from a book I have at home, and are quite often questions I would never think to ask a person, nor have the courage to.

Claire is the next person up to be interviewed. I’ve never met Claire in real life, but I’ve known her for a long time and feel like we’re life long friends. Claire has two beautiful children. Sadly, her son Bailey passed away from SIDS when he was just six weeks old.

Red Nose Day is coming up on the 26th of June. Money raised from Red Nose Day goes towards SIDS and Kids. Please buy a red nose, a wrist band, a pen or something from their site to help raise money. You can head here to find out more or to purchase an item.

Here is a little more about my friend Claire.

Have you got any scars?
I have lots! I have sensitive skin that whenever I get a scratch it turns into a scar. But most interesting ones is one from the centre of my head down to my ear… hit across the head with a plank of wood with a nail in it as I wouldn’t die during cowboys and Indians as a kid! One on my upper right thigh from jumping a fence as a teen. 2 cesarean scars from my two babies. Scars in belly button from belly piercing and surgery.

When did you last have breakfast in bed?
Valentines day this year. My lovely housemate spoiled me.

What’s the important decision you’ve ever made?
To still have strength and faith in life and destiny and to tackle problems with grace even after losing it all and having my son die in my arms. Oh and to remain in Brisbane after it all and try to be a single mum instead of running back to Sydney.

Where do you go to be on your own?
My bedroom or a hot bath.

Who made you laugh today?
My best friend Luke. We always manage to end up in fits of giggles every few minutes.

What do you want that you can’t afford?
A car, holiday and lovely house.

What colour underwear do you have on?
Black. Always black.

Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Oh this is a good one. Id like to be successfully trained in the beauty and hair industry. I will then have my own business providing beauty and hair parties (like Tupperware parties, group of friends meet up and pay $30, I teach them beauty, hair and make up skills in a party setting. They can then buy stuff if wanted but everyone learns something). Id like to be living near the beach in a small town, hopefully have another child by then, in a happy long term relationship. Happy and successful and ticked all the goals off my list.

What do you regret?
I do not regret anything in life cause it can get us stuck in the past. I believe in that we walk a path of destiny and that everything happens for a reason.

Who’s the most famous person you’ve ever met?
Heath Ledger.

Thank you Claire for being part of my blog. xx

  1. After reading Claire’s interview, I had to really put myself in my place. Although I’ve been having a tough time lately, nothing could be as hard as losing a child!
    Good on you Claire for having a positive attitude and surrounding yourself with great people who make you happy.
