Just about sums up my life

I started this blog 10 months ago when I had dreams of being a dinky-hippy-techno momma, tapping away at the keyboard with my lovely dependent sleeping in a sling on my chest, waking just to feed and then murmur peacefully back to sleep.

Ha! Then the wham-bang babbie shock came along and I realised that motherhood is no easy picnic. I never did get used to living in this humdrum town and railed at DO for months and months and months. I wanted to be back in Wandsworth, drinking tea in Crumpet, buying babygroes from Green Baby, going to baby yoga and having lunch with other hippy mums.

Now the little helpless adorable bundle has become a darling little boy, with a personality as big as his heart.

But I'm stuck here. So can I turn this into an experience that works in my favour? Being a mother has made me think about my own life and about what I want to fulfill. It's as if having a baby was the difficult bit and now I can explore my other ambitions. Can I still be creative and ambitious while living up North?

So I'm going to start writing this blog again...because even without my baby bump life is a bumpy ride...
