My first blog post!

Its November… something? Any other mums have no idea what the date is?! I know it’s a Saturday, that counts for something? Right 🤔

Im sure along with a million other mums you come across a point in the day when you think… Is this good enough? Is this really all I can do? Especially when you see those mums that you know, have everything down to a tee. Their kids are dressed up so smart, their packed lunches are all healthy and on point (sorry rugrats, you dibbed out at this point, mummy tries her best) and you see them off to this group and going to that class. Come on. Am I the only one that classes it as a good day if the kids are dressed, happy and fed 🙋🏼.

Yes okay, M has started ballet. BUT seriously. What a damn cock up that is. Her first lesson she was fine for a few minutes however, 5 minutes in she starts sobbing. Okay, I will go sit in with her. Guess who gets to look like a complete dick now trying to encourage my three year old to Demi plié without making  themself look like bambi on ice, oh yeah, me 😩. Second lesson today, 10 or so minutes in she starts crying again. Her reason you ask?! She doesn’t like the sings (music). Umm sorry?! Okay… so I plonk L down on the floor. She’s 9 months, trying to crawl away whilst I’m holding her with my legs (classy right) whilst still trying to encourage M to give it a go! It’s fun see! All the other girls love it! Safe to say all is not great! HOWEVER! If anyone ask… ballet is great 👌🏻 M loves it. She’s fab and looks so cute 🙄😂 insert cute photo from ballet… wait … I could not get one!!

Little L, what does she do? Apart from crawl, cry and try to eat everything. Well, she’s darn cute! And she’s good at it too! She an easy going, laid back little soul. Well until dinner time anyway. Then all hell breaks loose! She may only be 9 months old but damn, that girl wants food and she wanted it like 5 minutes ago! God knows where she gets it from 🙄😂 At least I have one child that eats good! The other seems to live off juice and a bit of crap here and there. Offer her a decent meal, have a half hour argument, give up. 10 minutes before bed time, guess what! She’s hungry 😣 Anyway… little L , well she’s not so little anymore! My little chunk of cuteness! That she is! Why can’t they stay little and innocent forever?! And not turn into a threenager 😣 Terrible twos? Nope. She saved it all up for now.

Anyone else have a threenager also?! Ya know when you see posts on good ol’ Facebook…. my kids would never do this 😣  Yep! Your line of thinking is right. M had the worst week last week…. covered one of my deep purple curtains in sudocrem! Oh god, but that is not all! She must of have the devil inside of her that day! Because whilst I’m trying to sponge some of this off and put in the wash. What does my darling daughter do…. yep, she drew on my walls. But ohhhhhh no. Not just one wall. Nope that wouldn’t have been good enough!! 3 walls! 3 god damn magnolia walls! That’s when I’m like okayyy, turn around. Three deep breaths. One… breath in and out , she’s only a child. Two…. breath again your still a teensy bit angry. Three:.. M sweetness you don’t draw on the walls, that’s naughty. Take the pens away and hide them in the darkest, highest place so they will never be seen again!! Until next week when she oh do nicely ask me to draw, and I look at that little face and think… oh go on then sweetie, draw me a nice picture. JUST NOT ON MY GOD DAMN WALLS!!

So, even if I try to be super mum and take my child to fun extra curricular activities. It’s not always what it seems! So whether your supermum or if your just getting through the day mum, your children see you as mum no less. Your doing an amazing job and they love you. Who cares if they do nothing or they do everything, what’s more important than them being loved?!

Keep a look out and follow our journey through motherhood. I’m sure there will be plenty of other times when my rugrats make life that little more amusing!!
