Mums Life in Words

 Hi friends, Being a mother on maternity leave sure has it's perks. I get to spend all day with my bubbas watching them grow and develop in their first year of life. Sometimes I have this feeling that I never want it to end. However, there are times when I start to feel like everyday is merging into one. I find I don't even know which day it is (once I woke up on a Saturday in sheer panic that we had overslept and my toddler had missed school).  Our daily routine goes a little something like this. Wake up for 6am milk feeds x2. I then put twins back into bed and play with them whilst I wait for 7.30am so I can wake my toddler, aka sleeping beauty. He has his morning wash and then I prepare and wait for him to eat his breakfast (why do toddlers take FOREVER to eat??) We then gets his uniform on (joint effort because.. well toddler) and we are out the door with the twins in tow for an 8.45am drop off. I return home, settle the twins for a nap and then have my morning coffee whil...

Hi friends, Where to begin with this one? Firstly, in my experience the terrible 2's did not start at 2. Oh no, my little one decided he wanted to enter this phase earlier... 1.5years to be exact. 🙄 Prior to 1.5years my little one was a sweet, compassionate gremlin who adored hugs and kisses. The word 'No' was nowhere within his vocabulary. 'What an Angel' I would think to myself as he dutifully let me brush his teeth before bedtime. My son could do no wrong. He was adorable plonking around and eating whatever conspicuous meal I had made that night for dinner. 'Parenting is easy..' I would say.  Little did I know that soon after would the defiance kick in. Terrible 2's is described as a toddlers developmental milestone in which they begin to understand a new lease of independence. A strong urge to challenge their parents and see how far they can go would be my definition. There have been many tears (mainly from me) as we both tried to understand this ne...

 Hi Friends, Thank you for those that have stuck around so far. I have so much more to talk about and this is a wonderful platform for us to get together and have an open book discussion. You can also head over to my instagram 'mumslifeinwords' to join in on some more fun! Now, lets talk about pregnancy.  For some of us, seeing that double line on the test can be a thrilling yet frightening experience. Thrilling because of the thought of bringing a child into the world, someone you're going to love unconditionally. Frightening because, well because you are bringing a child into the world. A little human who is going to solely depend on you. Physically, mentally and emotionally depend on you 24/7/365. There are no days off. No break times. No lunch hour. No salary. It's all on you. A full time job some may call it. As the news of being pregnant started to sink in for me, I was already experiencing the dreaded first trimester symptoms. If you were lucky enough to have ski...

 Hello friend,  Thanks for stopping by. Let me introduce myself. I refer to myself as Momma and I am a 29 year old mum to 3 wonderful humans. I have a 3 year old toddler and twin 7 month old babies (Yep, queue the confetti and balloons, I made it this far!)  I've started my new blogging adventure in the hopeful event that there will be many mums out there who can relate to the everyday trials and tribulations of raising children (can we include our partners in this phrase??) My blog will consist of struggles, accomplishments and maybe a little bit of venting (we all need an outlet after all right).  I am currently on maternity leave, with the looming dread of returning back to my office management work in 5 months time (is it ok to cry yet?).  My journey into motherhood started in 2018, when my first earthling was born. He was a wonderful sight, rather large (9lb 2oz) and momma birthed him via the wonderful surgical procedure of an emergency c section. I absolut...
