A Couple Of Recent Pictures

Literally, two recent pictures of my little prince. Very gorgeous, as always.

Once again I'm a full-time Mummy!!!

As the title suggests, I've recently made the difficult decision to leave my 40 hours a week job to once again become a full-time Mummy to my beautiful 2 year old. 

I'm still trying to get everything in order at home but I can't wait to start spending more time with my little angel and become a Mummy again. I know there are lots of Mums out there who work full-time and are absolutely smashing Mamas but it really wasn't working for me. I was dropping Oliver off at nursery every morning and coming home every evening to put him to bed, it wasn't fair on him.

But, lots of good times to come I hope. Also looking forward to getting this blog active again!

Hope to see you again soon!

Ask Mummy

Describe Motherhood in three words 
Exhausting, exciting, challenging

Does your experience differ from your Mother’s – how?
My mum gave birth with just gas and air and had a natural birth, I had gas and air, diamorphine and an epidural and an emergency c-section. My mum was married to my dad as well, I went into motherhood as a single parent.
What’s the hardest thing about being a mum?
Finding the time! Finding time for the smallest tasks can be really difficult and you will wonder if you'll ever be able to get something done. Also, as a young mum I worry whether I'm doing things right and always hope that I'm giving Oliver everything that he needs. I feel guilty about working full-time, but hopefully that won't be the case for too much longer.

What’s the best thing?
The absolute miracle of birth and then this little baby growing up into a young man! Plus the amazement at falling more in love with this little person every day <3

How has it changed you?
I am more mature, I had Oliver young and before I became pregnant I was probably quite a selfish person. I feel i'm a better person after having Oliver and much more caring.
What do you hope for your children?
I want him to be as happy as he can be.

What do you fear for them?
Everything, I just want to wrap him in cotton wool but I know that I have to let him be his own person.

What makes it all worthwhile?
The smiles, the kisses and the cuddles. Seeing that beautiful face every single day <3

Oliver's 16 Month Update

I promised to update soon didn't I? I thought no better comeback post than my baby boys 16 month update. I've never done one of these but I love reading others so I thought, why not?

Oliver James Fearon-Young

You started walking on the day you turned 16 months.

You are very independant when it comes to eating and get annoyed if Mummy tries to help you.

You love to play 'Mummy's coming to get you' and giggle manically when we play it.

When Mummy sings 'round and round the garden' you will do it on your own hand.

You absolutely love home made scotch pancakes, they are your favourite food in all the world. 

You love baths and hate when it's time to get out.

You hate having your nappy changed and always try to scurry away.

When you are sleepy and ready for your bed, Mummy picks you up and you wave to everybody in the room.

You love to pretend to chat on the phone.

If you find a pen, you must track down some paper to have a doodle.

Your smiles melt Mummy's heart.

When Mummy goes to work she misses you dearly. 

Every single day Mummy cannot believe how lucky she is to have you.

Oliver James Fearon-Young, when you were delivered, you gave me the happiest day of my life. Now, 16 months later; you make me even happier <3

Lots of love, 

The proudest Mummy in the world

Guess Who's Back... Back Again

Mirror mirror, on the wall...

...who's the fairest of them all?


I was actually doing well with posting and now I haven't posted in over a week! Naughty me! I actually love doing this blog, I've just been busy. But I will definitely start posting more regularly, honest!
Sharing just one photo of my little cutie from last week. I had just bleached my hair (post on other blog here) and had my full length mirror in my lounge while I was drying my hair. Oliver spotted himself and proceeded to be a vain little munchkin :)

Please excuse the messy background and the shabbily taken photograph, whenever Oliver noticed I had the camera, he turned away from the mirror, he's a poser!

On another note, as of yet my baba is still not crawling (he's 10 1/2 months). But, he is managing to get himself into a crawling position, then will throw himself down on the floor when he gets into it! Hopefully it won't be too long, I cannot wait for this milestone!

Love and stuff, 

'Mummy' Lucy and Oliver
