It is funny  how life changes once you become a mother (by the way, I always hated the word mother, until I became one). I always thought I was made out of steel, and have superpowers that allow me to never get tired, that can do absolutely anything my heart desires (I still believe that), and can have both a family life and successful career all at the same time until my two energetic kids were born.

I was hoping I could do all this by only drinking my 5+ cups of coffee a day…but life throws you different curveballs when you expect it the least. When my little sweetheart daughter was almost two years old I start to realise that 5+ cups of coffee a day and the best superpower you can have, don’t make up for the time you are never home to see your kids grow up into the best version of yourself. I was at the top of my career, loving every moment, but I wasn’t a good mom, so I made the tuff decision and gave up my career to stay at home with my children. It was the hardest thing I have ever done, both giving up my career (believe me, I’m not a very good cook, housekeeper or doing non-intellectual stuff all day) and looking after my children 24/7. For all the would-be, future mothers, the cold hard truth is, that it is hard work looking after your children. Especially, if you are like me an HSP (highly sensitive person), have very bad sensory processing issues and need A LOT of quiet-by-myself-time.

More about these ‘serious stuff’ later.

Now, 7 years later, my lovely, highly intelligent boy is in Gr 1, and almost going to Gr 2. My most beautiful little girl is turning 5 and is the absolute happiest child I’ve ever met. I can say with all my heart it is all worth it. They are the two happiest children in the world because their mom is at home with them every single day.

Below are a few pics just to ‘brag’ about these two happy, lovable children of mine.
