As a first time mum with zero experience with (and interest
in, if I’m 100% honest) babies I was completely out of my depth when, a day later, I
was told I could go home with my newborn and begin life as a mum, Albie’s
Mum.
As I began to immerse myself into my new role, I fell face first into a trap that I know catches a lot of first-time mums; I lost touch with myself. The new, much-loved family addition took over. He was all I had time and energy for, all I could think about.
I wouldn't change it for the world but motherhood just wasn't a natural adjustment for me - I don't believe I was born to do this - and I found it (still do some days) all consuming. SAHM's I salute you. You all deserve a bloody medal.
Anyway, after a rollercoaster of a year it finally feels as though balance has been restored in my life. I've adapted to my new normal and I'm ready to claw back some of my identity, cheeky toddler in tow.
So as an integral part of my self-rediscovery journey I have created this somewhat ironically named blog, where I will write about family life and absolutely everything that comes with it.
I'm excited to get started!
