Challenged.

I always feel so much better when my house is clean...




I'm not sure why it is, but I can think clearer, breath a little easier. It's not always easy to keep my house clean with Harvey running about, but I like the challenge. I love a clean kitchen, and love the fact that my dear fiance is in there right now cleaning up dishes and washing down benches to give me a break. Since becoming a Mama I have become extremely domesticated - something I never thought would happen. The truth is, I love cleaning my house and everything that it involves, because when I'm done, I light a candle and relax with my baby and in life there isn't anything possibly any sweeter.



Yes, today was a better day.





I went to bed last night thinking "what could I do better?". Before breakfast this morning, I gave him a little shoot of pain relief for his teefers and it made a huge difference to our day. I am constantly thinking up new ways to make his days more interesting, especially since lately it has been raining and we can't plan little adventures outside. My mind is whirring and longing for warmer weather and sunshine and beachy days away, but we have to make the best of what we have. It is a daily but very welcome challenge.



Rainy days make me want to curl up in jammies, drag our duvet down from upstairs and make our own little space in the middle of the living room floor to tickle and giggle and just enjoy some Mama and baby time, and I can tell you, there is nothing else I'd rather do that play with my boy, watch his contented little smile and think to myself "I must be doing something right". That smile makes every challenge worthwhile.
