Late July feels like standing still but sweating, summer energy is real and weird.

I’m Human and Honest

I’m human and honest!!!

Being a MUM is hard on the best of days! There is so much pressure to conform to this idea of the 'perfect' parent. We all know the type of parent I’m talking about; the ones that never seemed stressed and have farts that smell like cupcakes!!!!

And what about the mean mums? The ones whose life goal is to point out everything ‘WRONG' with the way you raise your children. Come on everyone PLAY nicely, if I have learnt anything in the past year it’s don't judge and there’s no need to be mean.

Heres a few things you may not know about me:

My older kids don’t always have a regular bed time, some mornings we have CHOCOLATE for breakfast!!! My three year old always wants to be on the iPad, yes I suffer selective hearing when the QUINS may cry it out, someone needs an answer asap, the mobile is constantly ringing I PUSH the busy button surprisingly!! The non-stop messages, they’re endless - please help And my poor husband bless him is always at the back of the QUEUE.

I had the honour of meeting an amazing mum yesterday having a s..t day well a BAD day!!! Our paths crossed at a cafe as I was leaving, she was crying because her baby wouldn't stop crying and she just needed a moment to collect herself before she soldiered on and slayed the rest of her day.

The worse thing you can tell me on a bad day is " It will get easier.” It doesn’t always get easier it’s more challenging, like MUD wrestling blindfolded and going backwards!!!

If I'm crying I have earned this moment and I want to feel it!

So my message to all you WONDERFUL MUMS out there is ‘ITS OKAY’ and always be true to YOURSELF xxx
