Buying for a new baby is pretty easy. I have lots of ideas in this post. But what about new mums? I mean, she’s the one who has gone through the pain and struggle of childbirth, she deserves a gift too right?
What does a new mum really want though? I’m sure that question goes through a lot of peoples mind when thinking of gift ideas.
Do they want something because they are a mum, or something just for them? After giving birth twice and have *some* experience with receiving new mum gifts (not from my husband I’ll add – tut 😉 )
As Lamb approached 2 years old I knew we were slowly reaching second baby territory. At the time we were not quite ready for another, but we knew we would try eventually.
Today I was the shouty mum.
It’s rare that I get a night off from the kids, but when I do all I want to do is curl up on the sofa and catch up on trashy TV! You might think I’d say something like a night out with the girls, but a night off to me means I get to catch up on sleep, not wake up with a banging headache and an aversion to food.
I’ll be the first to admit my self care is non existent. In fact the words ‘self care’ grate on me. I just haven’t got time for it.
