Now since I have started my little blog I have often wondered what if I didn’t have the “Cancer tag line”? “Would people still read my blog if it was just about me – Sinead Whyte, Age 48, Married, Two teenagers, two beautiful babies in heaven, and the latest addition, a spoilt rotten cockapoo.
I suppose it depends what you write about, maybe if it is terribly sad or terribly funny you will get people to like it, but if you are a mammy, an Ordinary mammy like me, well then maybe nobody will want to read or interact with you.
But there is no such thing as an ordinary mammy, mum, mother, mam. All mammy’s have a story, as a matter of fact everyone has a story. And everyone has a story that others would read, laugh to, cry to, be jealous of, want to be them, glad they are not them, or maybe just be happy for them.
Stories have been abound since time began, some fact, some fiction. In our times it seems fiction rules the world, and yes so many amazing stories written by amazing Authors who make us gasp in awe of the wonderful worlds of our dreams and imagination.
But for me it is the ordinary stuff. The stories from, and of, my grandparents and parents, the days of innocence, the days when a selfie or video did not determine your popularity, the days when being an ordinary mam with an ordinary story was enough.
So listen to your mammy, nanny, dad, grandad, these are the people with the best stories, the stories that are just as it is and as it was, just ordinary people telling a story. ☺️

So true Sinead. We have lots of stories that have been passed down from generation to generation, funny ones, sad ones, some hard to believe, but all the genuine article. Keep up that great writing Sinead. There’s a novel in you yet. X
