a place in my heart


There are a dozen moments in my day to day life as a mummy,
which make me want to scream.
But there are easily ten dozen moments that make me want to burst;
with pride 
and with thankfulness 
and with overwhelming love.

The cuddles, the laughter, the unconditional bond.
They are the best payment I could ask for 
for the challenging, important, exhausting and exhilarating job
of being their mummy.

Those two funny, cheeky, sensitive, beautiful little people
are the best thing to ever happen to me,
and the love I have for them isn't something that anyone could ever have prepared me for.

And the best bit of all, 
is knowing that I am their mummy. 
I am theirs completely and utterly.
That job is uniquely mine
and totally priceless.


Being a mummy is the most happy thing in my entire world.
And so it is the natural choice to link up with My Two Mums' Sharing Happiness project.

  3. Nothing brightens up my day more than when my wee man smiles and gives me one of his big hugs...especially after he has been cheeky :)

    1. It's all about the rough with the smooth being a mother, isn't it? Some days are rougher, some are smoother, but you wouldn't change your job for anything. x
