15 Facts About Me, A Meet the Blogger Post

I’ve been blogging for about five months now, and I think it’s time to really share some more about myself. You know a lot about me already if you’ve read some of my posts, because Tidbits of Care is all about sharing my journey, my experiences with you. Sometimes that gets a little personal. But today, you’re going to find out some facts about me that are interesting, funny, wacky and even private. Let’s get started shall we?

Me, August 2019

Fact 1: Other than suffering from anxiety, I have also dealt with chronic pain, IBS and needed three surgeries in my lifetime, two when I was very young. As a result, I’ve learned to listen to my body, lively more naturally and holistically, and just know not to judge when others say they are suffering. Chances are, they are and you just can’t see it.

Fact 2: You already know that I’m a bird mom if you’ve read my post about the story of my doves, but you might not know I adore animals. I was never allowed pets as a child, although my dad did keep birds, but I have found that my heart has a huge space to love animals, and I have more pets than I have talked about on my blog. I hope to share more about that with you soon.

Fact 3: I’m gluten free. Go back to fact one, because being gluten free is IBS related.

Fact 4: I’m potato free. Meaning, I don’t eat potatoes. Again, go back to fact one, because this is also IBS related.

Fact 5: I’m an avid crocheter! I have my own Ravelry store and I have designed some lovely and simple patterns.

You can find the pattern in my Ravelry store.

Fact 6: I cannot dance at all. I have zero rhythm. I’m also a terrible singer, but I love to sing and make up songs to tunes I already know. My hubby to be says I’m awful. And I am, sadly.

Fact 7: I would love to live on a big plot of land and have a big, heated barn for all my pets. My dream is to garden and have a side business of selling goods I’ve made myself, like candles, crocheted shawls and yarns. And of course, to write full time.

Fact 8: I love jewelry. And I have tons of pretty sparklies in my jewelry box. My grandmother was always huge into gold–earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets–she has it all. And really nice pieces because hers were all made back in the day. I still remember the day she opened her locked jewelry drawer and showed me her pieces. Each had a story. I don’t know if I got my love of jewelry from her, but I love being bedazzled.

Fact 9: I don’t like fruit with my desserts. I just don’t get why you would put strawberry on top of a piece of cheesecake. Or on the side of a plate of ice cream or a brownie. I don’t get it.

Fact 10: I must be the only woman in my age group that has never watched Gilmore Girls. Or Sex in the City.

Fact 11: I’m kinda obsessed with Etsy. I love that you can get so many neat on there, from phone cases to vintage jewelry and handmade items. I try to mostly buy from Canadian sellers as I like to support small Canadian businesses if I can.

Fact 12: I created an Instagram account for one of my pets. I’m not sure how I feel about that actually, (as in I don’t know if I think that’s lame, or quirky, or what) but I do love posting pictures of her on there!

Fact 13: I’m a big Trekkie. HUGE actually. The trivia facts that I know amaze even other Trekkies in my family.

Fact 14: I’m fascinated by the Tudors and will read anything set in the Tudor court whether it’s based in the time of Henry VII or Queen Elizabeth I.

Loving this series.

Fact 15: I’m highly sensitive and empathetic, and so I feel things very strongly. It’s been hard for me being this way, because I cry easily and it’s super embarrassing sometimes. But I also think it’s makes me a better person, so I let myself be more who I am now than I did in the past.

Whew, those are fifteen facts about me! Hopefully you thought this was a fun post, and maybe even connected with some things whether it was an interest, or a life experience. Sharing all of this has been an interesting experience for me as it forced me to do some reflecting–what are things about me that are interesting and unique?

It’s Friday! How many of you are just grateful for this day? Because you don’t have to work tomorrow, because you can catch up on sleep or clean your house? I think many of us are grateful out of pure exhaustion, which is understandable. But do take the time to be mindful this weekend. Ask yourself, how does your body feel? How are you feeling emotionally? And take the time to do what you need to do for YOU. Squeeze in that time for self care—an extra nap, a bath, some time to read, or a walk in the park. I’m going to indulge in some nostalgic outings with family. What self care are you practicing this weekend? #tidbitsofcare #selfcaresunday #selfcaresaturday #selfcareispriority #selfcareaccount #selfcareblogger #selfcareishealthcare♥️ #lifestyleblog #weekendsareforselfcare
Mommy life might drive me crazy. I have ordered the @lovevery kits since Baby J was born. The latest box just arrived. I was gone one hour and Baby J has hidden/list the puzzle piece. I’ve looked everywhere and cannot find it. Can anyone explain why toddlers do this?? 🤪 #tidbitsofcare #mommylife #earlychildhooddevelopment #toddlers #mommyblog #lifestlyeblog #bloggerlife
I was listening to news on the Royal Family and learned about this book because the Princess of Wales is very invested in the early years. As a teacher who loves kindergarten, so am I and as a new mom especially. This is honestly so good that I think all parents should read it. It teaches us about a child’s brain and how to use that knowledge to guide our parenting to raise kids that are emotionally healthy. I’m so glad I found out about this book! #princessofwales #tidbitsofcare #parentinghelp #kidsmatter #mentalhealth #selfregulationtools #selfregulationforkids
Today has been a wonderful, quiet day—after all the cleaning was done that is. I cherish quiet days. It’s nice to just melt into them and enjoy the sense of peace that comes with them. I love to read, or crochet on quiet days, or watch the baby as he plays. Who else loves quiet days? #tidbitsofcare #peacefulday #selfcaresunday🌸 #quietdayathome #lifestyleblogger #blog #selfcareblog #timetoreflect🙏
I really want to see green things and flowers again. We had a mild winter until March hit, then snow and wind and rain. I know it’ll be a while till I see green and springs blooms, but who says I can’t indulge in spring like things? Or delight in the longer days? It’s spring in my mind today. When life gets too blah, your imagination can really lift your spirits! Do you imagine warmer days, upcoming vacations or yummy dinners? #tidbitsofcare #selfcareblog #bloggerlife #springiscoming #spring2023☀️ #springtime🌸 #lifestyleblogger
Yesterday I ran errands and did some housework but I also got on me time and got my nails done. I’ve been doing more light, neutral shades lately. They just feel more me and more elegant. But if I’m in the mood, I splash into colour too! It’s all about just being myself. Because it’s okay to just be me ☺️ #tidbitsofcare #personalgrowth #selflove #selflovemoments #blogger #lifestyleblogging #bloggers #selfcareblog #bloggerlife #bloggerstyle
