You don’t need to splash out on a Cartier necklace or YSL ring to show your lady how much you appreciate her, a scrap of paper, a pen and just a few heart felt words will be more than fine!
It’s all about the little things in life!
It’s Monday tomorrow, so get that post it stuck on that bathroom mirror!

oKokok, so we are all besotted with our bambino’s. We spend more time with them than anyone else, we feed them, clean them, change their stinky nappies, wash their smelly bottles, we measure endless amount of baby formula powder, we scrub their pee & sick off our carpets and we love them more than anything else in the world. But really, is it necessary for our lives to become completely absorbed by them?? Do we have to forget about all those things we loved before we became mums/moms/mams.
The main reason Mothers Meeting was born, was due to the boring baby obsessed blogs i stumbled across whilst looking for motherhood inspiration. The majority of the blogs were either trying to sell me cute/vintage goodies (no we are not all made of cash, and cannot start hemorrhaging money as soon as we know we are going to have a Mini Me) or they were blogs created by mothers to document their babies lives. Not that there is anything wrong with this.
But it does get pretty bloody boring looking at perfect vintage bunting, perfect nurseries, perfect baking days at home, perfect family shots and generally lives that appear sweeter than a vintage cupcake.
Where are all the pics of the mums awake at 4am stuffing their faces with sausage rolls and any form of chocolate they can get their hands on covered in baby sick??? We as mothers are surrounded with images of perfection, which results in us putting extra pressure on ourselves - like we need that!
I guess the point i am trying to get at is, that when you give birth to a baby it doesn’t mean that you/your identity/personalities/characteristics have to disappear. Yes of course post what you want on your blogs. But just think outside the baby box for a second and remember you are a person as well as a mother!!!
When i saw these tweets by the one and only Mandy AKA ms_cheeps it brought it all back as to why MM was born.
I am sure all you mums have your own thoughts and opinions about this subject, if so we could love to hear your thoughts. Leave us a comment!! x
