Mummy Moments
I haven’t blogged since Tuesday of this week! Can you believe it? I decided to give your inbox/Google Reader/Twitter stream a break this week. You missed me…I’m sure!
I’ve had a week of mega-highs and lowly lows. I’ll blog about the mega-highs this next week but the lowly lows mainly centre around massive insecurities about my writing, where I need to go next and what sort of future there is for me with my writing/blogging/etc. Small stuff eh?
Ultimately I have a wonderful family, however, and every once in a while you get these “Mummy moments” that remind you what it’s all about…I had mine this morning. Here it is:
This is the kind of Mummy Moment that makes all of that insecurity, indecision and frustration go away. I’m going to try to celebrate these Mummy Moments a bit more often as they really are the most important thing aren’t they?

Oh hun you are not alone in having weeks like that. Life itself is an emotional ride and the less you beat yourself up about not blogging or worrying about the future etc the better you’ll feel. Its all a bit of CBT learning how to change your train of thought for the better. I have no doubt about your writing future/career because I read you from the heart. You are such a lovely friend to everyone in the blogosphere and we all support you

Oh that is too cute! And Ella looks just like you. Savor the mummy moments and don’t stress. x
I wouldn’t worry too much about your writing/blogging future at the moment. Wait till you’re a little less busy/hormonal. (Hope that doesn’t sound patronizing – I really don’t mean it like that.) The blogging/writing can wait until you have time to make a decision that fits. In the meantime, enjoy those gorgeous babies. x
I’m a working writer/director and I remember losing my confidence straight after having Oliver. It took time, TLC (to myself)and time to be a Mum before I felt ready to write again. It was actually blogging which helped me find my voice again and although I didn’t go back on set until Oliver was 1, I enjoyed writing without the pressure. My advice would be to take the pressure off yourself. You’re a talented writer and a great mother and taking a bit of time out even if that’s a couple of weeks or a few days or whatever- until you feel inspired/have more energy then that’s fine. Try not to be hard on yourself.
That’s a fab photo! Also, it’s hard to balance the whole new mummy, mummy of two and you parts of your life. If you weren’t having struggles then I would worry about you! Just remember that you don’t have to know it all (about being a mummy or writing or anything) and keep enjoying it for what it is xx
