I’m switching things up a little bit today. I take great joy in sharing all things practical with you; but I thought it would be fun to share a few fun facts about me, which probably only the closest of my friends know.

Here they are

  1. I cannot peel or chop an onion without feeling like my eyeballs are being plucked out of their sockets.
  2. I broke most of my fingers when I was school-aged playing (or trying) netball. Oh, and I also broke both my arms. And my nose.
  3. I could eat raw fish and meat for the rest of my life.
  4. I’ve watched less than 10 movies in the past 10 years. I’d much rather watch a series, or read a book.
  5. My memory is so bad I realise I’ve recently read the same book I’ve started again when I’m 50% in. Only I’m not sure…
  6. I hated sports and exercise when I was young, but would now do it everyday if I could.
  7. My schoolmates barely recognised me a few months after we parted our ways post secondary school. I lost 16 kilos and started my journey towards self-confidence.
  8. My biggest dream is living the nomad life in Asia.
  9. I LOVE to eat. Not just any food, because I’m a real foodie. Neil and I delight in trying out top-rated restaurants. Very few make the cut to the ones which are supremely amazing though.
  10. I research for hours before buying anything. I take great pride in buying the best for what I need (my husband Neil is also another avid researcher :-D)
  11. I am terrible at ironing and could not iron if my life depended on it.
  12. The two times I was pregnant I morphed into an unrecognisable version of myself (especially in Yanik’s case). I gained over 30 kilos in each pregnancy. When I was pregnant with Yanik my face changed, and my nose widened. It was weird to look in the mirror.
  13. I use my phone for everything and I could not live without it.
  14. I’m a gadget freak. The joy of technology!
  15. My instincts about people are almost always spot on. I only ever got it completely wrong one time.

That’s it mamas!
