Melissa

I'm a 30-something woman living in beautiful Queensland,Australia. I have 2 amazing children and am married to my best friend. No, really. He was my best friend for a long time before we fell in love.

I struggle somewhat with chronic health issues and my children have autism. I lost my mother to ALS 9 years ago (when she was 43) and this blog started as a place to talk about, and even 'to' her.

The Things I'd Tell You.. My life. My thoughts. My loves.
The things I'd tell Who? Well, originally this started as a place for me to write out all of the things I wished I could share with my mother. My children, my loves, my thoughts. Now, I share them with you. You'll find any manner of topics in here - I write what my heart tells me to, and simply let it take it where it may. I love clever words and beautiful things. I love to talk, to connect and to write.
I'm married to my best friend and together we're raising two amazing young men. We face special needs, disability, mental health and grief. But we do it with silliness, laughter, music and a limitless supply of love.
