The beginning

And so in the darkest part of my mind, I have known what I wanted to do for a longtime. So why does it feel so hard to start?
On this very wet and miserable Monday morning I have decided to take a step forward. (About bloody time I say to myself)
I just want to do what I love. I want to do what I want, when I want. And for my own sanity I need to give these big ideas I have a go. Time is flying and sadly we are all getting older.
My name is Olivia. I am mother to one boy- he is my Gorgeous boy J..Always so laid back and easygoing. A kind and generously loving boy, who is now a teenager. Then many years later came my little princess M, always on the go and looking for mischief, she is 2 in two weeks. Ifeel the need to be there for my children unconditionally. Obviously this is both in very different ways with the big age gap, hence another reason I want to 'do my own thing'.
I studied Art and design and Photography many years ago at college and still feel like I must channel my creativity in the direction I want to go. I was a florist before moving to the USA 3 years ago from England. I came to the USA for love and married my now husband Shannan in January 2010.
America and American people are so different in every way than any other country I have been to, and now I live here. I have lived in Massachusetts for 3 years now and must say it has really taken me this long to start settling in. It's been hard. I miss my family and friends, and I miss the culture. I feel like 'the odd one out', my sense of humor, my values and my beliefs feel "different". My style is different and I wonder if that will ever change? Will I ever feel American?
Anyway, I must focus. I am not even sure how to blog? Will anyone be interested in my thoughts and feelings?
 teeny weenys is born...this will be clothing and fun accessories for your own teeny weenys.
Wish me luck. It's going to be a fun journey.
