Why Motherhood Is Bittersweet

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.

Somewhere after that it gets a bit muddled about how to sort out and figure out what you do with everything. Do you get rid of them, or keep them around, just in case? This leads me to my closet, where I find 5 different pairs of jeans, and figure, of all people, you would understand where I’m coming from. All of my jeans can be classed Read More
