Not that I separate my life as a mummy, life is full on 24/7.
Would I change it? Hell no.
I am exhausted? Yes!
Am I still me? Yes.
I have to say nothing has challenged me more in my life than having my two kids. Finley aged 5 & Coby aged 19 months.
My life has just gotten busier, I still strive & aim for my passions & an entrepreneurial spirit.
I just have to be very savvy with my timing, for example today:
The hubby was playing his first American Football Game however I didn't quite feel brave enough to take 2 young boys to a stadium so I had a day at home consisting of; multiple colouring books, outdoor adventure, our daily trip round Kirkstall Abbey yelling for Finley to slow down (because now he is 5 he insists he is faster on his scooter & yes I am running to catch him up with the pram- which by the way is getting heavier! I really need to purchase a stroller)! Anyway the day as always involved intervals of eating, healthy snacks & yes more eating. Then we had some Cbeebies down town with Flash cards, alphabet, then Fin & Cobes thought it would be funny to dive on me, more playing happened followed by Finley decribing how much he likes me more than an object. I.e "Mummy I like you more than Lego" which coming from Finley is an honour.
"Mummy I love cake but I love you more" & yes I had that question all parents dread the "Mum where do babies come from & how are they made?" my responce to this since he asked me while we were waiting to cross the road was "we will chat with dad later". Now please don't judge, I was thrown off I didn't see it coming. These are the random conversations that happen daily.
We then hd dinner, daddy came home followed by lots of chatter, bath time washing their hair which can be a battle in itself. Coby loves it & Fin hates it. I Can't win, when you have 2 kids no matter what - one child will like & one will dislike it's just the way it is. Coby then raided my makeup bag as he does, lots of cuddles & kisses then tuck up in bed.
Now your thinking relax right? No.
Time to work out tonight I did a Tone it up, HIIT, butt lift workout then yoga. Now your thinking relax? No. That awful pile of ironing & the pots! So I got that done pretty sharpish & now I am writing this post.
Not that i'm moaning or complaining, I love my life I also love the fact everyday is completely different & my boys are reaching new milestones everyday, they make me laugh so much. I am a busy life lover & these kids certainly help to keep me going.
(Trying to take this selfie took me 20 minutes as Finley thought it was funny to jump up & down behind me). I wonder how long it takes Kim Kardashian West to take a near perfect selfie? #mummyproblems
There is always time for food & smiles! Thank god for Aldi otherwise I would be bankrupt, if this is how much they eat now, how much are they going to eat when their a teenager?!
Finley's idea of a great picture. Excuse the boiler in the background we just this new one put in ££££ ouch it was pricey!
Parents don't feel bad when it comes to bath time. In my eyes you have survived a tiring but a worthwhile day loving, nurturing & teaching your beautiful children.
But I literally don't sit down all day so when it comes to bedtime & after my chores, exercise, emails & social media. I'm done.
It's now time for Hubbys big blue dressing gown which I have technically pinched indefinitely thanks JP, & I get my bottom on the sofa, a little TV, shower & bed.
So night guys! I hope you have enjoyed reading.
To all parents out there your doing great! Lets support eachother & enjoy the time while they are kids because weeks, months really do pass by when you have kids.
