Happy Mother’s Day to you all. What a great start to the day I had today, a cup of tea and breakfast in bed. Here is the card that the boys gave me! Little darlings! 🙂
I regaled them with tales of when they were babies and today was the turn of one of my favourite stories of how during my first pregnancy. I tried to convince everyone who would listen that I was going to use just terry towel natural nappies and not touch the likes of disposables.
I had this image of a large washing line full of glistening white nappies blowing dry on a summers day. I remember the look on my mums face as she said ‘yes dear if that’s what you want’. I now know that she was giggling inside knowing me and knowing what hard work that would be. However she is always so supportive and never put me off, instead guiding me through all eventualities.
Suffice to say that I’m not the earth mother that I thought, or hoped to be and the shock of having a baby and learning to cope with my new little bundle of life was enough to put the thought of going natural on the back burner.
Whatever we do and however we cope, here’s to all mothers on Mother’s Day. Well done for each and every nappy change, sticking plaster application and tummy flip that makes us mums.
I do hope your Mother’s Day was fab! We have another month until we celebrate here in the states. What a great card you recieved. If we all cannot laugh together, what is the point! Laugh, love and live out loud ! #KCACOLS xoxo
I have gotten so much more relaxed with my second. You have so many ideas about your first. Great post. #KCACOLS
Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next time xxx
Haha, I had all kinds of ideas about how I’d parent when I had my first child too. I’m a lot more realistic with my second. #kcacols
Haha, I too had a lot of ideas like that, such as potty train early and never allow my child to become a ’fussy eater’. Oh well, lol!
Happy Mother’s Day lovely, and I must add that I really like the photo of your fab card, and the way that the yellow is picked up by the flowers and the frame in the background, very nice!
Thanks so much for linking up with #KCACOLS, hope you come back next time too xx
Thank you so much for your comments 😃 it’s funny to look back on our wonderful ideas of what parenting will be like 😆 x
