Quotes that make me happy

Quotes that make me happy

If you scroll through the never ending pages of Pinterest, you are bound to come by at least 50 pins that are either quotes, sayings, or words of wisdom. 

Yes I am one of those people that like to have my walls full of quotes and sayings, and my camera roll is full of the same. They inspire me, motivate me, and make me feel happy.

Today I am sharing 5 of my top mummy quotes that make me happy, and reinforce the fact that I am a mum, and to me, these quotes sum up motherhood.

 

This could not be more true, Monkey see, monkey do. Even though my child is only 2, I have already experienced this so many times, be it accidental words that come out my mouth, actions I unknowingly do. Its so important to be aware of what you are doing at all times because kids look up to their parents, and place them on a pedestal because they want to be just like you, do what they do. I continue to make an effort to be a positive example so that my child will grow up doing the right things in life.

This is my far one of my most favourite quotes. I cant even begin to comprehend what I have gained from becoming a mum, its not something you can explain, or put in words. It has to be the best feeling in the world, and it makes me so happy.

This was my go word quote during the first few months of being a mum. Sleepless nights, utter exhaustion, thoughts of "why did I do this", and then you look down at the amazing gift that is causing all of this and you think " that's why". You can't help but smile, because while its one of the hardest times, its one of the shortest,and before you know it, they are too big to carry around all day because they don't want to be put down, or they fall asleep on you, and you physically cant move because they don't weigh 4kg's anymore.

No matter how many times I am called it, and no matter if the sentence starts with "no", hearing your child call you Mom, Mum, Mummy, Mama, is fantastic. It makes me happy. While the late night "MUMMY" calls are not great at the time, the fact that he wants me, and calls for me, outweighs my tiredness. I think its one of the first words kids say when they learn to talk, and once they have learnt to associate you with the word, it sticks. I love it, I love being called it, and I love the little person that calls me it!

I don't care if I don't buy anything for myself ever again, as long as my child has everything he wants and needs, and is happy, then so I am. This should be the definition of a mother, its so true, and is something I strive to live by on a daily basis. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my child happy.

Are there any phrases, or quotes that sum up motherhood for you, and make you happy?

{Blog} Random things I have learnt since becoming a mum

I have learnt lots of things since becoming a mum, but there are somethings that are just random. Here are my top 5 random things I have learnt so far!

Egg whites on the bum to help cure nappy rash - try it, I laughed when my mum told me to give it a go, it works you just slap it on, blow it dry and it forms a coating on the bum to stop any moisture getting in.

Tantrums are funny - well some of them. Keaton sometimes gets so frustrated and throws a tantrum, and I have to look away because what he is doing is just so funny.

Sometimes your breast milk just doesn't like being frozen or put in the fridge longer than a day - who knew that there is a thing called a lipase enzyme in breast milk ? Not Me! But apparently my breast milk had an excess of it, and when I froze it or left it for more than a day in the fridge it made it taste like soap, and Keaton would not touch it (who would blame him). All my hard work of pumping went to waste, and I had to pump and use within the day or it went off. Not cool!

Once kids figure out how to flush the toilet you are doomed. Its true - you will hear the loo being flushed at any time of the day, you just have to hope that nothing has made its way into the loo beforehand.

If you have a dog - its tongue will land up in your kids mouth on more than one occasion. I have given up stopping "kisses" because I am fighting a losing battle. I have resorted to deworming the dog and Keaton, and just have to hope for the best.
