I Am The Mum Who...


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;
