Awesome Mum
Name: Nat
1. Can you remember your first reaction to finding out you were pregnant?
I will always remember that special day when I found out I was pregnant with Evie, it felt like all my wishes and dreams came true. I was so happy I cried with joy. After 3 years of trying it all came down to this special moment and it was April fools day.
2. How old is/are your kiddo/s?
Evie is my one and only and is now officially 20 months young
3. If you could give a little advice to expectant Mums about birth, what would that be?
My advice would be to expecting mum’s about birth is it’s nothing like the movie and every birth is different so take it as it comes.
4. What is one thing you have learnt since becoming a Mum that you feel like you wouldn’t have learnt otherwise?
One thing I have learnt since being a mum that I would have never learnt without Evie is unconditional love. I’ve never loved someone who I have never met so much that I would do anything for.
5. Are you a stay at home Mum or do you work outside of the home too?
I am currently a proud stay at home mummy, I want to raise my daughter in her first few precious years to see all her first’s. I am lucky enough that I can do this thanks to my wonderful husband who sacrifices working away from us that make this happen. I do however plan to go back to work part time when Evie turns 2.
6. Do you have time for hobbies? And if so, what are they?
My hobbies are renovating dollhouses (which is a new hobby since being a mum) and then cake decorating. I basically love anything crafty and I am always doing projects.
7. Is handmade important to you? If so, why?
Handmade is important to me as homemade means made with love and care. It also helps out small business’ who are trying to achieve their goals and dreams.
8. What is your favourite thing to wear?
My favorite thing to wear is my comfy jeans and my ring set my husband gave me. If I have these on it feels like I can achieve anything that comes my way.
9. What is your favourite food to eat when the kids are in bed?
When Evie is popped away a sleep in bed I love to snack on cadbury peppermint chocolate. A little taste of heaven!
10. What is the funniest thing your child has done/said?
The funniest thing that Evie has done or does is cleaning everything with a detol wipe. I’m a clean freak and I think she has seen me cleaning with the wipes. She thinks everything should be cleaned, even me!
11. Sometimes parenting is hard, especially for new mothers. Are there any words of encouragement you would like to give a new mum who might be reading this?
This is what advice I live by:
There will be good days and there will be tough days but just remember to look into your little ones eyes and you will know its all worth it! Would you really want to go back to life before them? I know I don’t!
