Not Just a Body Transformation

The journey I am on is more than just a body overhaul. For the first time since becoming a mum I have not rushed back to work. Saska and Hudson were both 4months old when I went back to work and Macie was 6weeks old. So for the first time I am a stay at home mum. This is a big learning curve and one I struggle with everyday.

One of the biggest things that I discovered this month is just how much joy you can bring to a child’s life by spending a little time with them. We are always so busy running from one place to the next that when you get time to just do nothing the kids love it.

Aspen was having a sleep and Macie and I were getting washing off the line. Macie asked me to push her on the swing. So we played on the swing and the entire time I am thinking of all the things I need to be doing. Folding washing, getting dinner ready, etc. Macie didn’t care about that stuff and was giggling and having a great time wanting me to push her higher. So I took a deep breath and focused on her. We had the best time playing outside and I realised how important this is for our bond. Something so simple like playing outside brings so much joy to the kids lives.

I think we all have to just let go every now and then and enjoy time with our kids. They don’t need gymboroo or music for tots, they need mum and dad’s undivided attention.
