Those early days of motherhood.

Exciting.
Overwhelming.
Exhilarating.
Tiring.

And it’s oh so worth documenting, whatever stage of parenting you’re currently at. ❤️

Something momentous happened earlier this week.

I sold THE pushchair.

That one piece of baby equipment that has been in our family for over 8 years.
Now gone to another family.

And I must admit… I got a bit teary eyed when the new owner took it… https://t.co/exLA8pa8c0

It’s quite scary to get in front of a camera, isn’t it? 🥴

Photos of you holding your little ones in your arms... because you will blink and they will be so big you won't be able to lift them anymore (case in point: I can no longer lift my 8 year old 😭). https://t.co/hCOPtx82rZ

Double tap if you are this type of mum who just could not stop kissing your baby’s head?

Because seriously, how could you resist this sweet scent of their heads?

Isn’t that a great excuse to hug your nearest and dearest more?
