I was nominated by the lovely What My Fridge Says to take part in a blogger tag. It's been so long since I have done one of these but I love them, they are so much fun! This one is a little confessional as it is a list of things I do as a Mum, most of which I probably shouldn't one way or another!
So here goes...
I am the mum who...
- Is always running late, usually for a silly reason; (baby saw her first squirrel, the dog got her head stuck in the washing machine, the boy broke the key in the door...)
- Takes a selfie and doesn't notice the pram is rolling away. This may have happened the other day, I totally forgot about the slope, she was fine...
- Dresses up as a cat and does the macarena because it makes my babies laugh.
- Has a good stash of embarrassing pictures for when the kids hit their teens, mwaahahaaa.
- Made my kids totally kooky, but adorable. My son does a pizza dance, they both talk to animals and dance with their bottoms - and why not.
- Never remembers to hang the washing out. This just means some lots get two or three washes, can't be a bad thing!
- Constantly worries, about everything. This one I can't help.
- Lets my son buy a whistle with his pocket money, then plans how to destroy it minutes later.
- Turns my boys dreams into story books.
- Is a hopeless cook but tries her best. "Mummy these pancakes taste like gravy".
- Wants to make the most of every day with my babies. They are growing so quick, I just want to remember everything!
- Has rediculous ideas. Constantly, like 'let's let the kids bring toy prams to the supermarket', on a busy Saturday... hell.
- Has no self control at a buffet.
- Can't let go of old baby clothes!
- Takes too many pictures but they are all totally worth it! Now I just need a decent camera.
- Buys too many childrens clothes.
- Buys frozen mash, seriously - why make it?
- Discovers that Bumbos are ace to relieve headaches.
- Washes the school jumper with a wet wipe in the morning rush, after forgetting to wash it.
- Wants to make their childhood magical, amazing and special in every way. This few years of innocence, excitement and happiness will be gone in a heartbeat, I want them to love it and look back on it fondly.
- Feels constantly guilty. I think this is just a Mum thing, everything makes you feel guilty!
- Would do anything in the world to prevent my babies feeling sadness or pain, ever. I'm sure this one is all Mums, now I understand why animals act the way they do when they have babies!
- Spends far too long playing when I should be cleaning.
That's me.
I am a good Mum (I think), with all the best intentions and plans, that may not always happen. We are always late, I am irritatingly unorganised, but we are happy and I hope my children will look back at the fun and not the times we had a mad dash (disguised cunningly as a race) to school!
As part of the tag, I have to nominate some other bloggers to do the same. If you'd like to take part then great, if not, no problem! If you have already done it - let me know so I can have a read. It's great getting to know other Mums and bloggers! My nominations are;
Thanks for reading,
