Dear first time mother's

When you become a mum the first time...

some people may push you to do things their way.
Make you think your clueless & you will deal with a lot of unnecessary bullshit, judgement & opinions!

because everyone seems to have an opinion about what’s best & what is wrong or offensive. You will feel completely overwhelmed & exhausted but honestly I never a met a new mum who hasn’t.
.

You breastfeed in public, it’s offensive.
You breastfeed your child for what people consider is to long it’s offensive.
You don’t breastfeed for long enough, you’re not trying hard enough.
You bottle feed it’s offensive.
You co-sleep it’s offensive.
You have a routine you’re to controlling.
You have a natural birth you’re trying to be to much of a hero.
You have a cesarean & you’re“too posh to push”.
You have lost your baby weight to fast.
You haven’t lost your baby weight fast enough.
You’re a stay at home mum, you’ve given up all your dreams.
You’re a working mum & you’re selfish.

.
Seriously this is a never-ending list & there is always going to be someone offended or judgemental when it comes to the choices you make as a mother. The biggest lesson I have learnt & the best advice I can give you as a first time Mum is “PROTECT YOUR ENERGY”.
.
You don’t owe anyone an explanation for the choices you make. People will judge you no matter what you do but you have the power & you have the right to do what works for you & your baby.
.
So enjoy this roller coaster ride, there will be a lot of ups & downs but I promise you it’s one bloody amazing ride!!!.
.
Love from a Momma who’s been there!!! Xx.

Dream diaries

Strange day 14/1/2013 One afternoon i was walking in the city; i noticed my cousin Laumata but i walked by her as if we weren't related, then i bumped into another cousin of mine and her name was Theresa. We just gave each other the evils while we carried on walking; then i ran into another cousin; Epenesa and we started talking asking me to come visit my dad's side of family because they all miss me. We continued to walk and talk; we bumped into our other cousin Tui at the pedestrian crossing, he started giving me attitude! The three of us went our separate ways; as i was crossing the road, i didn't realise i was walking with a childhood friend Mapo. We were catching up; she invited me to tag a long to a function, when we arrived and it so crowded with a lot of people. They were playing games in a competition on the sand; they were also writing their names as big as they could with a stick! Out of the blues; the sun disappeared; lightning struck and heavy rain sta...
