Be Kind To Yourself...

Sleep when the baby sleeps Eat to keep up your strength Make time for yourself Have someone else feed the baby so you can have a break You hear all of that and more when you're a new Mum, all of it with good intention however it often seems like hounding and honestly how many of us heed it? It all comes down to this... Be Kind to Yourself. Recently I have learnt from a medical professional how important it is to be kind to yourself. If you are not then you will suffer for it. Maybe not straight away, maybe not in a dramatic way but you will feel it. You may feel depressed, anxious, cranky. You may put on weight, your skin my appear dull & listless. No doubt you will be tired to the point of exhaustion. And you will say to yourself and others... I'm just tired, you know having a baby is tiring...or any excuse along those lines. Be Kind To Yourself and you WILL feel better. Get some sun - just 10 minutes in the morning before it gets too hot. Have your cup of t...

New Direction

Today I discussed with a friend, what next. My little boy starts prep next January, we aren't having any more children.

Another Shopping / Pantry Tip

Whilst the shopping to a list and meal plan is the best way to save yourself money / time there is also another nifty tip that for me works well and go hand in hand with this process. I have certain grocery items that are just in the pantry - as I am sure we all do - sauce, dressing, mayo, plain crackers, pappadums, curry powder etc Rather than try and remember what you need each week / fortnight - attach a piece of paper to your fridge or your cupboard and when you run out of something whilst cooking write it down. Make the list a permanent fixture in your kitchen so this tiny tiny task also becomes a fixture.. you'll no longer have 3 bottles of tomato sauce and no BBQ. French dressing but not italian, curry powder but not mustard powder and all types of pasta instead of 5 packets of fettucine!!!
