Hello!

If you are new here, welcome to Hollie and Life - the rebrand of Hollie the Housewife!

Last year in the summer I separated from my husband of 8 years and began life as a single mother of 4 children, and in the process of that realised that the small portion of the internet where I'd been sharing my life as a home-maker, wife and mother needed to change to align with who I am now....a business woman, a working Mum, and someone who's doing it on their own.

For a while now I have been sharing little snippets of my life on social media platforms (I'm @hollieandlife on almost everything), but recreating an entire website has been something I have pushed to the bottom of my priority list. Youtube is back up and running with regular videos, mostly on budgetting and routines, my instagram has been consistent....but my blog? The workload just to create my website in the first place has meant that I haven't even considered re-launching on here.

Truthfully, I think there is something deeper that goes on with writing, and I was scared to open that can of worms again. Blogging has always been the space where my feelings spill out onto paper, and in the raw days of separation I didn't know if I was ready to trust myself to be wise about how to share my life without damaging a very fragile situation. 

I miss writing though.

It's time to bring it back.
