I am Chantel,
I am 30 something,
I am a wife,
I am a mother,
I am a part time Occupational Therapist and a part time student.
I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.
I am passionate about play and its role in learning.
I love the stories we get from those who have lived long lives and have seen much.
I like lists.
I like stationery.
I love eating, cooking, wine, travelling and all things geek.
I don’t love frogs, coriander and ironing.
I am a romantic masquerading as a cynic.
I want the underdog to win all the time and I cry when they do.
I love the colour blue, in all its shades.
I say I am an avid reader, but in reality haven’t read anything over 100 pages since 2010.
My son was born in 2010.
I love heavy metal, guitar rock and 90s grunge.
I hit my peak in the 90s and see that as my benchmark of social achievement.
I aim to laugh every day.
I write about my life, my loves, the good times and the hard times.
I don’t apologise for my optimism or those days when pessimism wins out.
This is my story
