About The Blog

You would be forgiven for thinking that this blog might be aimed at your stereotypical stay at home Mum's and the lifestyle revolving around being a good Mum. Such as traipsing around the countryside attending their kids activities. Given the title, my intentions might be a little (or a lot), misunderstood.  

​

Well it IS a blog about being a soccer Mum. But I promise it's not another typical soccer mum blog, where it's all about the kids and how hard and hectic life can be trying to support them in their sporting choices. Blah, blah, blah...I think ANY parent understands that and can relate to it, so this is not just another blog about it yet again.

NO.  This is about my journey. A late 30's, overweight, unfit and rather untalented Mum of two, deciding to take up soccer. Why????  Beats the hell out of me really, but obviously seemed like a good idea at the time!  I guess i'm on a mission, to prove to my kids that Mum can be fun, that Mum can run around and play with them, Mum can learn new skills, Mum can become good at something by practising the skills and that Mum can still do something about making good healthy lifestyle choices (even if right now I feel it might actually just kill me) and most of all....that Mum can be an amazing role model.

​

So if you like a laugh (and I can guarantee that anyone who has ever tried something new and felt like the villiage idiot doing so - will have a good laugh), then stay tuned in for my updates.  I'd love to say it's about overcoming adversary and succesfully achieving my goals, but my own Mother taught me not to tell lies!! Hahaha.
