The Beginning

I have to start my blog at the beginning. You see, I was a complete and full-time professional until ten years ago. Aspiring, giving my all and proving myself. Having children changed things and I realised there was nothing to prove any more. I had done it, achieved it all and my career was now my family. Although I still loved Pharmacy, I could not reach any higher in my profession without sacrificing family time. And so, one wet and windy day, Adventure Togs was born. Born from our love of the outdoors, despite the wind and rain and reared as a member of our family. Now I have a career and family all-in-one, they fit around each other. Sometimes brilliantly, sometimes havocally. Sometimes I wonder how I managed to get it all off the ground and get to this point. I am pround of my achievements and love it all!

There's nothing like raising kids to make you feel really needed. I think one can be as professional as ever but it never beats a family.CJ xx

Hi Adventure Mother. Welcome to blogland, it's fabulous. :D

[Pig in the Kitchen]

I do like the word 'havocally'. I shall have to start using it immediately. Can we look at your adventure togs? A link to a website??!PigxAnd welcome by the way, have you felt the beginnings of blog addiction stirring yet?

[Adventure Mother]

Jo Beaufoix - Hello, It's fab already. All this attention! Wow!Pig in the Kitchen - I don't think "Havocally" is a real word, just an Adventure Mother word, so don't use it in front of the English teacher. I will try to put on a little advert with a link when I work out how, but in the meantime ... www.adventuretogs.co.uk
