Motherhood, style and beauty

Style inspiration: Pregnancy

I know many women complain about the lack of maternity shops on the island – I was one of them. But this time around I’ve come to see that it isn’t really a problem because in all honesty is there an actual need for maternity clothes? Dressing a pregnant body can be a challenge but there are so many ways to make it work with regular clothes. Stick to your style and the pieces you like, just buy them one or two sizes bigger and make sure they’re comfortable yet flattering.  And whatever you do don’t worry about the weight gain. Flaunt that bump and be proud of it!

Learning numbers with a cool number book

Georgie is at that awesome stage where he can count and even read words. I almost cried a couple of weeks ago when he read a short sentence to me. One of the top moments of my life. Hands down.

One thing I do often, especially when I need to keep him distracted for a while, is write down simple additions and subtractions for him to do. So far he really enjoys this little activity and I love watching and listening to him count with his fingers.

S T U F F

With the new year comes a new and different Parent Hood. Seeing as lately I kept steering off course and adding stuff that had little or nothing to do with parenting, I thought it better to just embrace the change and go with the flow.

So I give you Stuff. Yes, that’s it. Stuff. Every week I will bring to you stuff I have found, read, seen, liked. Stuff that has made an impression on me and I think you might appreciate looking at over the weekend.

Gender disappointment

During the first stages of my pregnancy, family members -who are always the first to know- couldn’t keep mum about their desire for a girl. As for me? Did I have a preference? I would lie if I said I didn’t. There was a secret preference for a boy. I absolutely love being a mother to a boy and sort of wanted to keep to what I know and am good at.

After school: Asking the right questions

One of the first things I noticed about Georgie when he first started school last year was his hesitation in telling me how his day was. I realised things had gone from bad to worse when the other day after an afternoon lesson he huffed and puffed and finally said: I don’t have to tell you everything! Let’s skip that in ten years a remark like that will probably scar me for life and go straight to the fact that it was obvious I was asking the wrong question.
