Yup, Im back! Its been 2 years and 13 days since my last post!
Gosh the consistency has been lacking on this blog hey, to be honest that is the case for quite a few aspects in my life, but let's not get into that now or else I'll ramble on for ages and pages!
Whilst I didn't officially blog I did do instagram posts, even though admittedly they also dwindled a bit, but if you have time on your hands and want to check it out you can find me at instagram.com/tashhurst

Well, there was more. For example., family catchups, games nights, pub nights (for the kids), friends celebrations, medical appointments, uni campus days, uni assessments, uni, uni, uni, haha.
To be completely real and raw, there were some pretty dark and heavy days during that time. Probably the darkest that I've had in quite some time.
For ages I couldn't accept that my usual positive polly self was replaced by this glum and gloomy masked person!
I mean, I had (still have) an amazing husband, kids, family, was (still am) working towards my dream career, and yet..., I thought the world would be a better place if I wasn't in it!
Whilst I'm not lost in that darkness anymore with those thoughts, I still have grey days where I dont want to get out of bed and face the world. The difference is, that I still want to be in it!
I may talk more about that in future blogs, but Ill just leave things here for now!
