Life before children...

I look at my girls everyday and still can't believe that they are mine, that I grew them in my body and that they are here and healthy. And although I can't quite believe they are my girls I can't imagine my life without them.

I did have a life before children but that seems like another lifetime now, my friends who have known me years and have yet to settle down and have children seem to be on a different wavelength nowadays. They are busy dating, working and lots of trips away while I am busy looking after two little ones and my husband the big kid. I hardly get a time to see them anymore as evenings and nights out seem impossible now and that is when they are mostly free. On the other hand I have new mummy friends who I have got time to see during the day with little ones who completely understand how our life's have changed. I feel guilty for not seeing my old friends as much as I used to but have come to realise that my life is different now, I love my friends dearly and although I can't see them as much anymore they will always be part of my life but my girls are just the biggest part of my life right now.

And that sums up my life right now. I am a mum and that will always come first, life changes, priorities change but being a mum never changes x

Halloween success!

Okay so I know I was a bit hesitant about Halloween, but I think today went really well. Kids loved it - and spent much needed quality time with other parents friends with bubbas which was lovely! 

Rarely do we get the chance to socialise in the evening with friends and babies, I think socially it is generally frowned upon to be in a pub with a baby in the evening. Thankfully because of the Halloween kids party this wasn't the case and was lovely to have a change of scenery! 

Would I celebrate it again? Yes I would maybe I will even carve a pumpkin... But in my heart I am a Christmas fairy so that will always be my biggest holiday! 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! 

Halloween yay or nay?

I have never been a lover of Halloween, yes I like the random Halloween episodes of sitcoms and when I was younger the Simpsons (okay maybe I could still watch it....;) but Halloween has always been a bit scary for me! I don't know why, I remember going to parties and trick or treating but as I have got older and it was more about dressing up to go to a club I hated those costumes with the scream masks, always expected them to pull a giant knife out like the film! 

So now that I am a grown up and a mummy should I get more into this Halloween malarky? I never really agreed with celebrating it but should I break with that for the sake of the little ones fun?? Well we are going to a kids Halloween party tomorrow evening and I have purchased the girls costumes, so we shall see. I have seen many photos on my FB of kids pumpkin picking and carving maybe just maybe if tomorrow goes well I may extend to that next year.  Let's see 😉
