I live in Melbourne, Australia with my husband (of six years) Rob, our almost 2 year-old son Xavier (aka Zee!) and our fur baby River (the Golden Retriever)! It’s about to get a little crazy in our house! Our family is about to double in size when our triplets arrive in a few weeks. They’re due in early June at around 34 – 35 weeks, which is considered “full-term” for triplets.
Before having Zee, I was a National Marketing Manager and worked ridiculous hours! I knew as soon as I got pregnant that I couldn’t return to doing what I was doing as I didn’t want to have a baby just to put them into full time care. So, I wanted to start a business where I could work hard in my own time, and not be dictated to working 9 – 5 hours.
I started my business – Sourcey Marketing – when I was about 30 weeks pregnant with Zee. I’d worked in Publishing, Advertising and Marketing for about 12 years before I got pregnant, and I haven’t looked back. Running my own business gives me flexibility, a creative outlet and financial security that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. Besides, I love working and being busy, so even though it’s been hard work and felt impossible at times, I’ve loved every crazy minute.
Running my own business also gives me flexibility to do the things I’m really passionate about and pick up things that I had left behind – particularly writing and photography.
After finding out we were having triplets, I also started this blog. Zee Plus Three – it’s about all the things I love… Family, Health & Fitness, Fashion, Food, Design, Photography and Business. I originally started the blog to share with family and friends about our journey, but its quickly spread beyond that. I’ve loved meeting other amazing mums of multiples and successful mums running their own businesses through social media and I cant wait to see where it takes me.
