Instead of having dozens of options of things to wear, the choices at present are narrowed drastically by what’s clean and what might fit. I grabbed a cute grey dress out of the cupboard and held it up against myself. The possibility of greasy or dirty little hands leaving marks on the light coloured silk fabric was too much of a risk. Plus, wearing the dress meant making a trip to the dry cleaner sometime in the future. Why do I still own things that are dry clean only?

Lesson #15 – This week I was fired… By my one year old.
For a period of time, I didn’t feel like a person anymore. I felt like a (incredibly exhausted, vomited and faeces covered) body wandering around with two HUUUUUUGE breasts attached. The downside of breastfeeding for me was feeling as though the milk bar was ALWAYS open.
Lesson #12 – What I wish I knew one year ago (A note to me ) – Part 3
Welcome to Part 3… If you haven’t already, you can start HERE with part 1 or HERE with part 2! Don’t be scared to leave the house with the baby. It will really help you to shift the energy of being cooped up in the house for long periods of time. Even if you just…

So you’ve just had a baby, it’s finally time to leave the hospital and go home. You will be leaving with a new baby. That’s right. Medical professionals are going to let YOU take a new baby home. What the heck are you supposed to do once you get home? That’s when the fun really…
Lesson #6 – Not all compliments are good ones. Sometimes they are just a bit too keen.
“You should really get him into baby modelling and get him signed up with an agent.”
Lesson #5 – Saying that you are never going to do something when you have a child is pretty much a guarantee that you’re going to do it.
The other morning I was changing Ollie’s nappy and he was really cracking it. In my efforts to calm him down and distract him from being on the change table (which by the way used to be his favourite thing) I started singing. Now, I am by no means a decent singer but for some…
Lesson #4 – Sometimes things don’t go according to the plan and that’s okay (Unless you are a control freak who doesn’t cope well with change)
I’d lost sight (yet again) of why I started this all in the first place.
