I absolutely loved my friend Zara’s post on why she is totally rocking motherhood. She’s an awesome mum; very confident, open, and a lot of fun – they are three very lucky girls. Oh and the food she makes! (check out her Instagram to see) I have asked her before if she would consider adopting me but she didn’t seem too up for it to be honest. The sod!
She tagged me to write my own ten reasons why I’m totally rocking motherhood, and I found it pretty hard to be honest. Many parts of motherhood haven’t really come easily to me, despite thinking that it all would. I’m still working on my patience when I’m very tired (although that’s the same for everyone I’m sure), I flipping hate the school run and I’m sure it will always be a mad rush in the mornings, even when she’s started secondary school. I shout, I don’t play with her enough, and her uniform is often not ironed. Also, right now I have completely and utterly lost her PE kit except for the bag and her plimsolls. They have disappeared off the face of the earth and I am contemplating buying new ones. I think I put them somewhere safe so I didn’t forget…
But, I also know that I love her dearly and would do anything for her, and I think she knows that too. I have written a similar post before (I Am a Good Mum), but this takes it a bit further, and I really enjoyed writing it. So, here they are, my 10 reasons why I am totally bossing this mum thing.
I bloody love this post Louise, I think it’s so hard to try and define what makes you a good mum, or how we rock motherhood. I already knew you were amazing, but it’s lovely to see some of it in this post. I love you.
Thanks gorgeous – love you too! xxx
Ah thanks for the tag lovely, only just seen it. It sounds like our experiences of motherhood are very similar. I’ve lost Charlie’s p.e. trainers and for the life of me, I can’t think where. I also stopped ironing uniforms a long time ago 😂 Life is too short for that!! Xxx
Haha, glad to hear it’s not just me! I still haven’t found A’s things – had to buy new ones! Also glad to hear you don’t iron uniforms; makes me feel a tad better 😉 xxx
You can do cartwheels – super cool Mum and I tell my children I love them everyday too
