If it means driving 10 miles to my mums house when she only lives a mile away, so be it– baby’s gotta sleep and actually I quite like driving.
If it means watching tv with the subtitles on so we don’t wake the baby, then that’s what we’ll do– we could do with reading more anyway.
If it meant we’d all sleep better in one bed then I swear to god I would be a co sleeping mother. Just so happens Dexter doesn’t like it.
If it means shoving a dummy in his mouth just for a minutes peace, imma do it– we can wean him off it when he starts school.
If it means dancing around the living room to Rita Ora’s ‘Anywhere’ for an hour just to settle him, I best get my dancing shoes on.
Oh hey there, I’m Rachel and welcome to thislifeandme.co.uk.
I’m a 34-year-old wedding and family photographer and occasional blogger over here on this little corner of the internet. I started This Life & Me a few years ago and I mainly wrote about general life issues of a thirty something, along with my love of fitness and health.
I recently became a mama to my first baby, Dexter and I’ve been winging motherhood ever since. Naturally my blog has taken a slightly different turn now and I like to write honestly about the struggles of pregnancy and being a first time mum.
Motherhood is still very new to me and quite frankly I have no idea what I’m doing but I really hope you enjoy it here because I absolutely love sharing my thoughts and experiences with you.
