Mum's What Work

So Why Start Blogging?

When I had Harry in 2007 I had the most terrible guilt about returning to work.  Harry was just 6 months old and was really starting to shine through with his ever growing personality.  But I loved my job and quite frankly I had to return to work for financial reasons. 

So in May 2008 I boldly returned to a role that I thought I could do with my eyes closed.  Well wasn't I wrong.  It was possibly one of the hardest steps in my life I have had to take.

Now, in 2013 I am in the same position.  Being older, wiser and been there and got the t-shirt, I somehow kidded myself that it would be easier.  Boy was I wrong.

Some of my really good colleagues at work are also Mum's what work and I know share my anxiety, guilt and passion.  It was this reason that has driven me to share my thoughts and dilemma's of being such a mum what work's.  

This blog will act out life as my outlet to share, ponder and release some of my thoughts and hopes that it will not only be therapy for me, but maybe in some small way, be a comfort or reassurance for other mum's like me what work.
