Hello blogging world!!!
This is my first official blog and am sure there will be many many more to come:) I signed up to start blogging a couple of months ago, thank you to my wonderful neighbour Lolly for helping me:) but the rollercoaster of life hasn’t allowed me to start until now!
So where do I start?? My name is Natalie Trew (previously Winters) I am 32 years old and a wife to a wonderful husband Kane and a mummy to 3 beautiful angels….Bailey 6, Sienna almost 4 and Mia who just turned 1! The most important role of my life as it stands, is being a mum….no other job could ever compare!
My background info: I was born into a magnificent family with two loving parents Gary and Carol and twin sisters, six years older than I, Michelle and Peta. We had a great up bringing. Mum and dad always worked so hard to provide us with what we needed and we will always be indebted to them. I did my primary schooling at Woodridge North and my high schooling at Woodridge High where I was school captain in year 12. We have always been a very sports orientated family as the girls and I mostly played netball. I was lucky enough to represent the state for netball in year 7 and continued to play rep and state league right up to the age of 19. When I finished grade 12 I got into university and studied primary school teaching…..I have currently been teaching for 10 years.
My life now as it stands is truly magical! I have been so blessed with so much (plenty of ups and downs) I feel like I am a very lucky lady! My husband and I have been together since we were 17, 15 years this year! We have created a wonderful life together. We bought our first house 10 years ago, which we currently live in, an investment property, cars, enjoyed many holidays together, especially our trip to USA 2 years ago. But the best thing we have done together is becoming parents and creating our 3 little treasures, who we love and adore more than life itself!!! (Seriously my heart aches every time I think of them)!!!
My starsign is Aries so obviously I can be fiery, Id rather call it passionate…lol! I love to be creative and enjoy craft work in the form of scrapbooking and decorating. I am a neat freak, ok maybe a little bit OCD but I have calmed down since having the kids:) I love shopping and am a fashion queen – in every way!!! Of course my favourite colour is pink so you can imagine how excited I am everyday having two girls! My pet hate is people who have a lack of commonsense and it really annoys me when people don’t put things back where it belongs!! I love socialising and have a wonderful group of friends who I adore and appreciate everyday! My mum is my bestfriend, my sisters come a close second and my dad is my hero! A part from my husband and kids, I could not live without my parents and my sisters and their husbands and kids! Speaking of kids I also have 3 nephews and a niece who are like my children as well and I am very lucky to still have two grandmothers and a grandfather!
I have been thrown a few curve balls in life! We have lost some close family members at such young ages to cancer. As a mother I have 3 out of 3 children who suffer chronic middle ear infections and have been in and out of hospital getting grommits, adenoids out, a daughter who has allergies and a son who has been extremely difficult. My own health has had issues too. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with a tumour in the right side of my thyroid. After getting half my thyroid removed it was discovered that the tumour was benign (thank God)! I thought that was going to be my biggest health curve ball, but sadly I was mistaken! Last year when I was 37 weeks pregnant with my daughter, I was diagnosed with a heart condition – a dilated aorta! It was the most scariest time of my life being told that I could have died giving birth to my daughter….from that moment on my life has changed forever!!!!
I don’t sit here and dwell on the bad things in life, I look at how blessed I am to be able to experience life! I’m not saying that I don’t have the occasional melt down or cry when things go wrong, I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t! I do get sick and tired of going to specialist appointments for me and the kids as I could think of a million wonderful things I would rather do. BUT I believe things happen for a reason and life is about learning. If I didn’t go through all the things that I have been through, I wouldn’t have learnt anything!
So that just about sums up me and who I am! From this day on, I intend my blog to be a reflection of learning, in relation to many different aspects of life that we stumble across. I’m hoping my blogging journey will one day help me write a book!
My Party of 5 
Congratulations on your official blog launch!! How exciting! Blogging is so much fun and it’s a great way to reflect on your life, and appreciate all the wonderful things in your life.

Hi! I’m Sue, and I’m from SlimKicker, a fitness/diet app and online website. I bumped into your blog yesterday and it captured my interest!
I’m contacting you b/c we’re about to release a fitness tracker (similar to FitBit) early next year, and are looking for bloggers who would be interested in getting 1 for free to review when it is out (negative or positive).
Would you be interested in doing this? You can email me at: sue (at) slimkicker (com) with ‘Review’ in the email heading if you are.
Just to let you know, our online website SlimKicker basically turns your fitness/diet goals into a level up game. The tracker will work in conjunction the website, and allow people to track calories burned and number of steps they walk automatically. The more they exercise, the more points they rack up! That’s basically how it will work.
Anyway, hope to hear back either way…
– Sue
