Hey everyone,

I haven't post a lot this past week which seems like it's been forever since I last posted. A lot has happened these last two weeks. I've made some big decisions and changes to benefit the future of my family and myself. I can't wait to share it all with you later on. Feeling like the future is bright and feeling super positive.

Anyway, where do I begin? Ellis has had a eventful week. But the best bits that have stuck out for me are. First, when we were waiting in the hospital car park for my gran to finish her meeting. I had to entertain Ellis in the car for a hour. Which by it's own was a challenge. He watched in the night garden and had his head out the window shouting for ducks. He was climbing up and down his car seat. But what makes this moment stick out is him learning how to put on his seat belt. And he was so happy with himself. It was so cute to watch and luckily I got it on video aswell. I'm always missing things on video because I always forget to get my phone out to video. And I regret it later on. One of my goals for myself is to really focus on getting more footage of Ellis.

Another thing this week that has stood out is the day we were watching peppa pig back to back. And everytime peppa came on. He would say pig pig pig. I was so cute. He loves peppa pig. We also did a sticker book that day aswell and stuck all his peppa pig stickers. And with that sticker book we got a poster, we put the poster up on the wall next to his craft table and everytime he goes past it, he always points and says pig.

With everything that goes on in life and how busy it all gets. Everything passes you by so quickly. And I made a promise to Ellis the other day that I would take the time in the busy days we have to always sit and talk to him about his day and always treasure every minute we get to be together.

So to the start of a new week and hopefully I lot more blog posts. I can't wait to see what this week brings and all the adventures that are to come.

So until then. Enjoy and come say hi to us.

Am I a bad mother?

This is a question most commonly asked amongst us parents. I would never question myself or my ability. I know I am a brilliant mother to my child. I would do anything. But you know that voice inside your head that says "Can you be better?" "Are you doing enough?" "Because I'm not doing the same as that mother, Am I a bad mother?" I need to start telling myself or making little reminders to myself that I am doing my best.

Sometimes I often question the little things like can you spend more time with them? Or when you put toy story on and let your child sit on the sofa with his toys watching it while you get your washing done. I think we all need to remind ourself it's okay to get things done or how else are we going to do it? It's just okay.

Anyway, the reason before all this thinking today is, today we have had a catch up day. All of last week we've been poorly so that of course meant no washing done, no ironing done, hardly any housework done. So today was the start of the week and a start on the catch up.

Firstly, Ellis had a early doctor appointment, followed by a little trail around the town. We went looking at the pet store for guinea pigs and bunny's. Lately I've been thinking about getting Ellis a guinea pig. I loved my pet guinea pig when I was younger. And really interested in getting another. Our next door neighbour has some rabbits out in her garden and Ellis is always looking through the fence to see them.

Then it was nap time for Ellis, While nap time this was the main catch up time. I did good and got mostly everything done. So we are nearly back on track. This afternoon has been a eventful one for many different reasons.

How you ever wondered to yourself why do I feel like I'm a bad mother when I'm doing my best and completely rocking it. Sometimes we compare ourselves to others. We need to tell ourselves that's we are good parents regardless of what others do around us and just be our own types of parents in our own ways because that's exactly who our children need us to be. Ourselves for them.

At the end of the day, what would we be without our children. I know I wouldn't be where I am right now and I love where I am. I wouldn't know the unconditional love of a parent for a child without my son.

It's just okay to be okay.

Xoxo
