Claudz is one of the sweetest and most genuine bloggers I have been blessed to get to know.

I now have to share 10 things about me...

1. Most people think my second name is Jade but my name is actually hyphenated. One name.

2. I have two fears in life - death and snakes. I'm working on my faith in living eternally but I will never get over my fear of snakes. I can't even touch a picture of a snake.

3. I wear contact lenses. And I am a serious percentage of blind. I can barely see without my contact lenses in. Blind as a bat. 

4. When it comes to babies and children, I prefer boys names and boys clothes. This may sound weird because most people prefer the pinks and frills and tutus but I walk straight to the boys section. And don't get my started on girls names - I liked one and I used it. Now I am stuck!

5. I have been swimming with sharks. Free swimming/diving. With no cage. It was absolutely incredible, and I was not scared. It was such a calm and tranquil experience with Black Tip and Zambezi sharks gliding past my bikini-ed body.

6. I am slightly OCD. Hence my love for planning, organising and routine. I have endless to do lists and check lists for daily life, meal plans and events.

7. I was the Project Manager for the building of our home. I was on site weekly with a bunch of male, bulky builders and I made sure things happened from start to finish - I know every last square inch of our home. And I am very proud.

8. I love Coca-Cola. Fact.

9. I would love to open my own play group. Will have to keep the mind ticking on this one and watch this space.

10. I love my sleep. (Quite ironic for a mom-of-almost-two) but I could sleep in every morning, have an afternoon nap every day and still go to bed early every night. Let's not talk about my sleeping patterns when I'm pregnant - my poor husband!
