Why I aspire to be like my mum

My mum and I are very close. Since I was a child we've been as thick as thieves and as I got older I came to consider her as a close friend. Even now with us living miles apart, over an hour's drive away and in two different counties, we speak everyday one way or another and regularly meet up in person at least a couple of times a month.

She is my rock. She's been there for me during the good times and the bad. There for me during all the momentous milestones of my life.

I think my mum is awesome and in many ways I aspire to be like her. If I could be half the woman she is I would be happy. Here are just a few of the reasons why I aspire to be like my mum.

Maui - a dream paradise

As an avid traveller who is passionate about seeing and experiencing countries and cultures from all across the globe it is no surprise that I often dream about jetting off on travel adventures.

With the world as my oyster the choice of destinations for memorable travel adventures is endless. My travel bucket list grows longer every year, especially when I tick off one destination and then fall in love with a couple more that get added to the never ending list.

A recent addition to my travel bucket list is Maui.

2017 desires and hopes

For many people it is traditional that when they welcome in a new year that they make resolutions. Promises of being a new person, starting something new, changing their lifestyle or quitting a bad habit are often declared before the clock strikes midnight and a new year is welcomed.

Whilst neither myself or Lee as individuals or a couple go in much for the tradition of new year resolutions - if we really wanted to change something or quit a bad habit we would anytime of year and not wait for the new year to do so - we have decided to make the most of 2017.
