Hey Guys,

It's been a wee while as my Scottish people would say. I'm still here! Busy joggling the many components of my life. Ally is doing great! She's now 14 months and doing many amazing things but more on that later. Today I just wanted to share the post below with you.  Enjoy the read.

YUMMY MUMMY

Before I became a mum I used to secretly judge mums that would just 'let themselves go' after having a baby. I'm not even talking about weight now, just general personal appearance.

I have since repented!

This yummy mummy business is NO JOKE!

You do a lovely weave, leave your hair down and all your baby wants to do is pull on it. You hold it up in a bun and your babe effect is decreased.

You get your face beat or slapped as I heard someone say and your baby helps you blend your eye brows into your eye shadow. Osheyyy MUA!

You put on your fancy heels to go out but you need to push that pram. That's not going to be okay for your back. So what's the point. You pull out the flats. All this decreasing your babe-ness.

You paint your nails for the week but because you are constantly washing bottles, your hands and changing nappies they are all chipped by the second day.

Sometimes you've put baby down for a nap, you start doing your manicure and she wakes up needing a nappy change. #NailsSmudged. What is the actual point. *cries*

You wear a lovely top that's working with your body shape and your skin complexion only for baby to colour it with some lovely food she decides does not need to remain in her tummy. Might as well drape yourself in a sack. Lol

You wear a lovely dress, you're finally feeling hot with yourself but after lunch with friends, your mum-tum starts to show and someone asks if you are expecting again. Chisos! See my life!

I could go on and on. Point is the struggle is very real. But what do we do? Give up on our babe-ness?

Well for me, I plan to keep trying and I think it actually gets better as your baby grows older. So I am here in my corner of the world, less judgemental as I try to find my own balance point.

Shout out to all the mummy's out there that make this mummy thing look so easy.
From now on when you see a mummy dressed, just hail her, you don't know what went on behind the scenes. She truly is winning!
