Mom Resolutions, Anyone?

-
Before I gave birth I imagined the wear-to-match fashion I would be doing with my son.
Ha!
Now if I can manage looking presentable in a laundered T-shirt and jeans with my favourite comfy Crocs, I am an achiever!

Before my Oldest started kindergarten,  I remember the many food recipes I screenshot and saved intentionally in a folder dedicated for his school lunch and Imagined that I'll be one of those fashionable mommas who go to drop their kids with a full face of make up without a wisp of hair out of place looking like I'd just sashayed out of a boardroom meeting.

Heh!
Now, If I can only remember to brush up my hair or my teeth and wash my face and slap some lipgloss on while carrying a nursing 1year old and prepping a breakfast of hot choco and scrambled eggs with sliced toasted bread, while not forgetting to reduce the gas stove to a simmer so the porridge beans don't burn...

Anywhere you see me, just give me a hug and hold me tight.

Siblings Rivalry

 I was today years old when I realized that my secound son doesn't need me fighting his battles for him. My oldest is not finding it funny sharing his toys with his baby brother. It's a tough curve to manoeuvre and an uphill climb he is trying every possible way not to make. Me? Hehehe.  I am not bothered. He must learn to share one way or the other. After all, they're their own best friend and best brother. Till the end of their lives.  So quick gist here😉 This morning my oldest was taking  his toys out from the storage he keeps them in. The second was playing in a corner at the other side of the room.  But soon as he saw his brother unpacking the toys he ran over to him and began picking each toy he brought out, dragging them to himself.  My oldest attempt at diplomacy failed when he soon realised that his baby brother's grip is strong. Then he tried shoving but realised again to his dismay that, little bro stands right back up soon as he lands on his bu...

How Becoming a Mother Changes You.

Motherhood changes you. It does something different to you. Let's skip the goody emotional stuff and confront the part that no one wants to talk about. People mostly attribute every of our experiences to "the joy of motherhood." For example 'my baby has kept me awake through the night, three days in a row now. I feel like a zombie in a walking dead movie' They: "but that is the joy of motherhood." Right. To stay awake through the night and entertain them through the day. Add the house chores. Then rinse and repeat. For three days. Are you kidding me? Post delivery depression is real, so real for many moms. Forget that they still show up and shine teeth and act like they are put together, inside they have broken into different tiny pieces.  Most have lost themselves in the process. They can't seem to find a way out of the quicksand of deprived sleep, poopy diapers, 24/7 hands on care and needed attention, and overcoming the stormy days of ...

10 weird things only mothers do.

1.Smelling your baby's bum to perceive for poop? Super weird but do you care? Not in the least! 2. Cleaning your baby's runny nose with your fingers or the inner of your shirt, top or the end of your wrapper? Gross I know. But would you ever do it again? Probably yes.  3. A quick dash to the mall with your baby involves packing two of everything-a change of clothes, diapers, pacifiers, rattles, toys, his favourite blankie, Baby combs, cream and jelly, wipes, Baby food, water and a carrier or wrapper.  4. Choosing to buy clothes and toys and pretty much anything your child needs, sometimes wants in favour of a new pair of shoes, clothes, toiletries, getting a mani-padi or switching that months long hairstyle you've been sporting for ages. 5. Eating the remnants of your baby's food plates. Guilty as charged.👋 Why waste such good and expensive food? 6. Bathing or visiting the toilet alone is considered a priceless 'me time'. Oh the joy and freedom to t...
