Mummy Confession: I often refer to motherhood and parenthood as something “bittersweet.” Sometimes it seems more one way than the other, but it’s always been that touch of both for me personally. These are my thoughts on the matter, do you feel the same? Being a mum is bittersweet. (Being a parent, really) We love watching them grow and seeing what they become and how they learn, but at the same time we wish they would stay little forever.

When You’ve Been Married For Ten Years
Mummy Confession: I haven’t been married long, but I figured as I approach ten years married, I would share some of what I have learned from my marriage as well as seeing others married around me.

Milestones and Bunk Beds
Mummy Confession: I’m quite sentimental these days, especially with all the growing up the kids have done lately. Every day it seems one of them learns something new, or reaches some sort of milestone. My tiny one is pulling up and cruising along everything imaginably stable now (and occasionally an unstable thing or two). Last night was my babies’ last Sleep in a toddler bed.
