Blogging Every Day in August: Something Beautiful (Day 11)

Sarah at Yummy Mummy In Training has set herself a challenge of blogging every day in August and has listed her prompts. As my blogging is a bit hit and miss at the moment, I will be using her prompts to generate some ideas too. 

Today's prompt is: Something Beautiful 

Bet you can't guess what that made me think of?! Ha!
Of course, my daughter. Yes, obviously I am biased but I think she is beautiful. 

I have told her everyday since she was born that she is beautiful and clever. I don't just mean in the looks sense either.

But am I setting her up for self esteem issues in later life, as has been suggested recently? Or can we just take things in perspective and realise each and everyone of us is beautiful?

Yes, that does include you. And me! 

 

I found this on Pinterest recently and love it, I can't find a source to credit, do let me know if you know who it is.

Blogging Every Day in August: Greatest achievement (Day 1)

Today's prompt is: Greatest achievement

My first thought is (obviously) Little Lady.

She has made me a different person. She has changed my life, turned my world upside down, and shown me pain and pride I never would have experienced.

I'm sure anyone with children would agree that you would do anything for your child, especially when they are in pain and you would willingly take all the pain in the world, if it would just make them better. 

But the opposite end of that is the pride you feel at their 'firsts'. I love watching Kiki's face when she discovers something new.

I was bursting with pride when she pulled herself up to standing for the first time.

She is a beautiful, happy child and I know that is to do with me (and daddy) and how we raise her.

In my own personal life, I've overcome some struggles, although depression and related problems are still a massive influence on my life, and am getting stronger every day. It's still an uphill struggle, but I am trying to keep going!

Proud Mummy

Today, for the very first time, my Little Lady pulled herself up into a standing position. 

She has been standing whilst we held her for a while, but this was the first time that she did it by herself. 

I'm such a proud mummy!
