This post is a bit of a 'chin up lass' for any mumma thats feeling deflated, overwhelmed,feeling like they should have their sh*t together but nothings falling into place kinda moment and to let me tell you, you are not alone

I haven't blogged in nearly 2 weeks, and i guess its because life has taken over if im perfectly honest.

What with doctors appointments for mason, making world book day costumes, trying to fit in gym, seeing the boyfriend and work i feel slightly deflated. People ask how do you fit it all in and quite frankly i don't. i haven't seen my friends in months, i haven't seen my boyfriend in a good week and a half, my house is a crazy mess and quite frankly all i've wanted to do it lounge about on my sofa or in bed.

I felt so awful when i kept finding myself saying to mason ' in a minute mummys busy' and not having the time to play with him or take him out or do something fun for him. And that's when it hit me, hes 3 in two months time and his learning so much daily i really am going to miss these days if i'm too busy washing up or doing laundry.

Sometimes we need to take a step back, drop something that's not really that important and just enjoy life. I am seriously looking forward to this weekend so i can sit down and play cars or take him to the park or see him and his dad playing again. It really is the simple things in life that make me happy.

So what im trying to say is, slow down, because although time waits for no body, life is far too short to be worrying about loads of washing or social events or having a pristine looking home. plan a day out and stick to it, go on a mummy and kid date, or even go on a date night with your fella! make time for family and don't get buried under life.
