We've been so busy and unintentionally so. We've had friends from near and far, come and go, we've had about 8 birthdays to celebrate, we've been booking holidays, sewing and running errands. I've been on go mode since Wednesday last week and it's been exhausting but it's been great.
Today I have visitors and errands, a baby shower and one of my best friends birthdays at a bar. This is where the cool mum part pops up. I've literally been out with my girlfriends every night of the weekend for the past few weeks. We've had birthdays and girls nights and spontaneous adventures. I feel like I'm eighteen again and it's been amazing for my soul. I'm definitely mum first and always will be, I'll still be getting up at 6am even though I got home at 2 and I'll do it with a smile because I'm refreshed, I had some adult conversation and some wine and I'm a better mum for it.
I always get the mum guilts, I'm sure every parent does but after a nice little conversation with my own mother, I'm learning to let that go. I'll always be mum but sometimes it's really nice to just be Ivy.
