Hi I'm Soo, a mother of two young children who lead me and my Partner Russ a merry dance keeping up with their clubs, "hangout"s (play dates for those of the uninitiated), homework and general whims!

Not content with chasing around after my two I am a veteran of the girlguiding association having been volunteering with them since becoming a Ranger/Young Leader at the age of 15. I now have eight units under my wing consisting of Rainbows, Brownies and Guides and a Senior Section Group, over 100 girls and 18 leaders. Guiding has been such a huge part of my life and an influence on all that I do, its my second family.

I work full time and found it difficult mixing with other parents, as I didn't hang around the school gates (thank god!) catching up with other kids mums, grandparents and a splattering of men Now I add being a school PTA member to my forever growing things to do lists. I sit on both my kids schools PTA's, helping out in whatever capacity I can to support their fund raising activities, the monies of which benefit the schools and hopefully my children too!

Feeling like I needed a change, just before reaching my 50th birthday I decided to create a list of things I wanted to do in my life. This is my journey to complete fifty "firsts", fifty things that I had never done before, pushing me outside of my comfort zone and tackling my fears, challenging myself and dragging me out of rut and into my next century! If you are keen to learn more, follow my adventures by signing up to my newsletters, or leave me a comment/suggestion of more ideas of things I can achieve during my 50th year!

Thank you for reading.

Soo
