Hey you, I’m Renee . . it’s lovely to meet you!

Gosh, writing about myself doesn’t come naturally. So I thought I’d give you the first 15 things that came to mind of my forty year existence so far . . .

One

My mum raised my sister and I after my dad left when I was four. She was my rock while growing up.

Two

I was a bit of a geek at school, especially where the arts were concerned. I was often top of the class or getting awards.

Three

I have a Bachelor of Graphic Design and had my own design business for 13 years.

Four

I was diagnosed with depression when my youngest was 2 years old. WORST TIME OF MY LIFE!

Five

I’m a baker not a chef! I’ve got my go-to list of recipes now which I love.

Six

I’m SUPER GLAD I had boys. I grew up in a family of females . . . even the pets were female!

Seven

In Human Design terms I’m a 2/5 Emotional Generator.

Eight

In Astrology, my Sun Sign is Aries and my North Node is in Leo. Plus all the rest!

Nine

Catan is my FAV board game right now and I have a 90% success rate (as at May 2020) . . . even against my 8 year old who I don’t ‘let’ win. I know, I’m a meany!

Ten

I HATE having my photo taken.

Eleven

I’m kinda addicted to buying books. I LOVE learning.

Twelve

I’ve had a few businesses . . . my graphic design business, a kids craft box business, I’ve sold essential oils and I have my online shop. I’m sure I’m forgetting something. Phil and I have other businesses too.

Thirteen

I recently moved from The Big Smoke of Auckland to a small coastal town to live my dream life with my three ‘main men’.

Fourteen

During LOCKDOWN, my favourite thing was driving to the supermarket (it’s a 30min country drive there and back) with the music turned up, singing my heart out and dancing in my seat. BEST THING EVER!

Fifteen

I go Beetroot Red, in the face, when I exercise. People often ask me if I’m okay LOL.
