Little photo dump of Marbs last week šŸ’•

I had such a lovely time with some wonderful people celebrating my sister turning 40. It was chilled and exactly what I needed.

I managed to switch off my mind and just sit in the present. Of course I missed my little family, but getting the chance to just be ā€˜me’ was very healing. Xx

Managed to get a photo with both girls this evening! šŸ’•

We spent another evening at Soho Square and ended up in the Queen Vic because…..fussy eaters! šŸ˜… well that should just be one fussy eater, the other one pretty much eats anything. Lol

I just can’t get over how much Ella is growing up! 🄰

It feels like she’s in a real ā€˜inbetween’ phase at the moment of needing us but also wanting to be her own person. Any tips for giving her independence whilst also keeping her safe are more than welcome šŸ˜…

This evening we ate at the restaurant that Anthony and I went to the night we got engaged (9 years ago!) we showed the girls the spot where he popped the question on the beach under the stars 🄰

It feels like a lot has happened in 9 years!

Positive self talk! 🄰 When I watch my children look at themselves in the mirror. They look with curiosity, they are happy with what they see, they dance to themselves, talk to themselves and even give themselves a kiss.

Somehow, over the years we become conditioned to think that appreciating and being proud of who we are and what we look like is a bad thing!

We need to be more like children..happy and free to be who we are or who we want to be.

Next time you look in the mirror…give yourself a little wink šŸ˜‰

I took this photo full of doubt. Does this dress look ok? Do these boots go with the dress? Does my hair look nice or do I look like a frumpy mum?!

Recently I found myself comparing myself and my life to others. I’ve been feeling a little pang of jealousy when I see other women with tidy homes, going out with their friends and having fun, going to the gym, dressing in gorgeous clothes and looking fab.

It was leaving a heavy feeling in my tummy.

And then I remembered, I’M IN A DIFFERENT SEASON OF LIFE. I have a toddler, a baby and a business and sometimes that means that tidying the house is my last priority. I’m breastfeeding my baby girl so going out with friends or going to the gym isn’t that easy to do with a bottle refuser. My bo***es are ginormous because they ate full of milk and my frame is bigger because, well, sugar is getting me through the days after sleepless nights.

I remembered that this season of life will not last forever.

I remembered that babies aren’t babies for very long…and Everleigh is our last child so I need to soak up every second.

I remembered that seasons change and soon I’ll be able to do those things that I see others doing again. And when I’m doing those things I’ll look back on the wonderful chaos that is my current reality with fond memories.

Yes my house is messy, yes I’m tired, yes my b***s are mahoosive and I don’t get a single moment to myself (not even on the loo!!). But it’s all for my family. And that’s the most wonderful feeling.

So you know what I did….I gave myself a break and said to myself ā€œWell done Mamma, you look great, you’re doing greatā€.

It’s and I wanted to use this opportunity to share a bit of my story.

This is my second daughter Everleigh. She’s now (almost) 15 weeks old and our breastfeeding story has been very different to that of my first daughter.

I managed to BF Ella just shy of 4 weeks. I was so upset when it came to stopping, but I knew I needed to for my mental health. Even though I had so much support, I was really struggling. I’d lost a lot of blood during labour and my body hadn’t recovered. On top of that was the sleepless nights, the infections, the bleeding ni***es and the general heaviness of becoming a parent for the first time. People were telling me to ā€˜push through’ (I’ll be honest this was mainly strangers on the internet) and family were telling me to do what was best for US. I was torn. But a few days after making the decision I KNEW it was the right thing to do for Ella and I.

When Everleigh arrived, I was keen to try again. Something felt different. I started enjoying it, she took well to it. Yes, the first three weeks were HARD, they were awkward. I had to get used to holding her whilst trying to reveal my bowling ball of a b**b. I wondered when I saw other people feeding that you could see anything…yet you could see my ar**la because it appeared to be bigger then her head šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļøšŸ˜‚ I asked anyone and everyone when the pain would stop. But then I really started to focus on her latch and things improved.

I’m proud of myself for ā€˜pushing through’ this time. But I’m also proud of myself for realising it wasn’t right for us the first time.

If it didn’t work out for you first time, that doesn’t mean it won’t the second.

So where ever you are in your journey…well done. You’re doing an amazing job.

And for those can’t, couldn’t, or simply don’t want to BF….well done. You’re doing an amazing job.
