Oh kid. 😍 the messier the better I say. I don’t mind Arthur crawling on different floors. I don’t mind him getting messy from exploring. I don’t mind his hands getting dirty. Or his mouth being dirty from food. Weatabix dried in the hair, strawberries on the face, milk around his mouth. I like the sand in between his toes, the dirt on his fingers. Because he’s exploring, he’s learning, developing. The baby crisps come out of the hair, the sugar from sensory play will come off his fingers, the mud from the park all over his trousers will come out in the wash. The messier the better I say. 😍 sometimes people say comments that make me feel bad that’s he’s messy, that he has dirt on his clothes or food on his face. Sometimes I find myself saying things like “he’s very messy” before they say anything because I can see them looking. Sometimes I do feel judged. But then I think, wait a sec? He’s eating! He’s playing! He’s having fun! I want him to do all those things! Stuff can be cleaned, his mucky chops can be wiped. He’s a baby. He’s a kid. Arth if you want to get messy then you get messy! ❤️#love #messy #kid #baby #babyboy #ourboy #firstbaby #parenting #parenthood #motherhood #oharth #artie #thiskid #ourworld #getmessy #notthedrunkkindmessythough

If your having a tough day, tough week or just need a little giggle; here’s a picture of Arth looking like a thumb. ❤️ You are welcome world. #thiskid #lovehim #babyboy #wingingit #parenthood #motherhood #thumbbaby #thisiswhatidoatworkonmybreak #justalwayslookingatpicturesofmybaby

So I won’t pretend...I don’t have it all together. I’m not a boss at life at the moment. New job, money is low, Arthur at nursery, lots of change. It’s hard. And I’m tired. I miss my family, I don’t have many friends but those I do are far away. I’m trying to earn money, and start my career. I have all these plans, ideas and then I stop and think, I’m tired. Emotionally, physically, tired. I don’t want fancy cars, expensive holidays or a big wedding. That’s just not me. I just want my own home. Somewhere I can call my own. That’s my goal. But I am tired. I miss my baby when I’m at work. I feel guilty when I’m not with him, guilty that somebody else is looking after him. If I don’t think about him in a few hours I then feel bad because I feel like I forgot about him. I want to blog and in all honesty yeah one day I would love to have my pieces featured in magazines, I’d love to be at events talking about mental health. But I’m still tired. I also need to exercise, eat well, look after a pony, maintain a relationship and see my loved ones. But, you guessed it, I’m tired. I don’t know if this is my PND, I don’t know if I just need to breathe and give myself a bit of a break. But I do know one thing. It’s ok. As the tee says; it’s ok. It’s ok to be tired. It’s ok to have PND. It’s ok to want things. It’s ok to not be bossing life. It’s ok to feel that Mum guilt. It’s ok if you do want fancy cars. It’s all bloody ok. I am so lucky. And I know I am. I have a wonderful son, partner, family and friends. I have a roof over my head. I have a job I enjoy. It’s ok. Everything is ok. I need to remember it’s ok to feel like this. But everything is ok and I do need to stop and remember what I have got. ✨ . It’s just ok. . ✨ #itsok #mentalhealth #pnd #anxiety #firsttimemum #blog #blogging #parenthood #wingingit #life #mentalhealthandme #mentalhealthawareness #breathe #lovethistee #smithandwebb #motherhood #feelingoverwhelmed #notbossingit #real #reality
