Here was an item I was supposed to carry around with me all the time and yet I wouldn’t go anywhere near most of them even if you paid me. Sorry but Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and other woodland creatures are not the type of bag style I like. So five years ago I made do with a plain shoulder bag. Definitely not very practical but I managed. I breastfed Georgie exclusively so not having to carry bottles and other stuff made the world of difference.
Last year was the first time I prepared goodie bags for Georgie’s little friends. Inside the boys’ bags I placed a rolled up Superman poster tied with a balloon. The girls got a mermaid poster. Both were hand drawn and gorgeous and I’m told they looked amazing on the kids’ bedroom walls.

I get a bit emotional at his birthdays, when he blows out the candles and I realise how bloody quickly time goes by. I hugged him tight on the morning of his birthday and whispered the words ‘my baby’ to which he replied: ‘No mama. I am now 5 years old so I am not a baby anymore.’ I made it abundantly clear that no matter how old he is he will always be MY baby. If you follow me on Instagram you can catch me singing happy birthday to Georgie as he was waking up with a smile on his face.
