Mama's Day 2016

Well another year has flown by and here we are again.. I can hardly believe this is my third mothers day!!

I really can't write much more than I have in my other posts. How many times can I say how blessed and happy I am to be this little girls mama?!! 

She seems to have grown so much in the past year, and its amazing to watch, and I am so happy that I  get to experience life with her!

I was lucky enough to receive these cute little flowers from her this morning, which I'm sure daddy had a hand in making for her! I love the way her face lights up when she gives you something that she's helped with! It's just the cutest!! 

I look forward to many more mothers days with this little one! 

I hope all you other mama's out there had a brilliant day, celebrating your littles ones and your own mama's :)  

My Second Mothers Day!

It literally feels like I was just writing my first ever mothers day post! Now here we are a year later - on my second mothers day!

I feel I could just repeat what I wrote last year! I have never been so grateful for anything in my life! 

I have wanted to be a mummy for as long as I can remember, it's the only thing I have ever really been sure of and I always felt a little silly when people would ask what I wanted to do or be when I was older, in my head I would always answer "A Mummy.." but out loud I would always say, "I'm not sure yet.." It was almost as if I thought if I said that was what I wanted I felt people would reply with "Yes but what else.." As if it wasn't enough! Now here I am a mother of a one year old, and although I do still work as well, being a mummy is definitely a full time job all on it's own and if any one ever said to me now "Yes but what else..?" I would happily reply "And nothing!" Being a mummy is definitely enough! It is hard work and it is exhausting, but it is also full of joy, excitement and the best rewards you could ask for!

I read a lot of other mummy posts, and a lot of the time I find myself reading ..."I never knew I would be so excited by a tiny giggle, or how much you could love one tiny human." But I felt I always knew how excited one tiny human could make me!

I feel that as a mum we should all take a moment each day to just be thankful and remind ourselves how truly lucky we are to be able to call ourselves mums! I often worried when I was younger about what if.. what if I was one of the unlucky women who couldn't have children. I think because it was the one thing I knew I always wanted and the one thing I was sure about, I was always worried about the what ifs. I am so so so grateful that I am so lucky to have been able to experience the joy of growing and nurturing my tiny baby girl. 

I have had such a lovely relaxing day! My baby gave me a gorgeous card that she had coloured for me and a picture of us together! I'm sure I have her daddy to thank as well! ;) 

I know some people say mothers day is over rated and just a way for shops to make money, but really what is so wrong with celebrating our mothers, I know I couldn't live without mine. She has shown me how to be a great mother and I hope I can be as wonderful to Skye as she has been to me! 

We don't always say it enough but I love my mum, and I hope when Skye is older she looks up to me as much as I do to my mum!!

Being a mum isn't easy, but it is definitely worth every sleepless night, every early morning, every giggle, smile, cuddle and kiss. I sure know now what others meant when they said being a mother is like watching your heart wander around outside of your body.

So happy mothers day to all the other mummy's out there, I hope you all had a lovely day, and you all feel as blessed as I do to be able to call yourself a mummy! :)

My First Mothers Day :)

So i wanted to get this post in before the day was up! 11.28pm.. Not bad lol

I've had a lovely first mothers day, despite the clocks going forward and losing an hour of it before it'd even begun!
We started the day by taking our little bee for her first swim! She loved it, and it was the perfect way to remember today :)

For as long as i can remember I've always wanted to be a mummy. I feel it is what i was put on this earth to do. Of course being a mum is challenging, its tiring and it has its hard times, but i wouldn't trade it for the world. Being the mama of this beautiful little girl is the most important job in the world. I get paid with cuddles and smiles, and the feeling that this tiny human depends on me for everything is just something else!

Despite the sometimes sleepless nights, and not being able to have a long hot bath or early night, its all worth it, because i know that very quickly time will go by and she won't always be this little and she won't always need me this much, and then i will long for the days when she would want to cuddle for hours, il long for the mornings that she wakes me with her cooing sounds, the way her tiny hand wraps around my finger, the way she holds my top in her tiny hand as i feed her, il long for all her tiny ways that are just her. I already miss her newborn ways and the last 4 months have gone by in the blink of an eye.

All i can say, is what I'm sure every mother would say, and that is that i've been blessed with this beautiful little girl. She's taken my heart, i'd do anything for her and il treasure every second of our lives together.

Baby girl you've made me the happiest mama alive.
