Mam Goals Monday!

Mam Goals Monday!

I think this blog has been a bit negative lately, don’t you? So, as a way of injecting a little bit of positivity into it, I’m going to start ‘Mam Goals Monday’! I’ll attempt (yes, ‘attempt’ because I’ll probably forget) to do a post each Monday based around who I think is total ‘mam goals’. It could be a friend, a family member or someone in the public eye 🙂

To kick it off, today’s Mam is going to be none other than Rosie Ramsey! Rosie is the ‘wifey for lifey’ of the absolutely hilarious Chris Ramsey, and Mam to Robin. I started following her on Instagram quite a while ago and honestly, she’s hilarious! Her stories make me laugh so hard that I almost wee myself (which isn’t hard at the moment, trust me!) and her relationship with Chris is so heart-warming. They just bounce off each other which is so lovely to watch.

As well as Instagram, she also has a podcast which she presents alongside Chris called ‘Sh***ed Married Annoyed’. It honestly feels like I’m sitting at home watching them have a good old bicker! Exactly how it is with me and Matty!

The reason I picked Rosie for my Mam Goals Monday post is because her connection with Robin is unreal. She’s a stay-at-home Mam just like me, and it’s so endearing to see how much she adores her little’un. I love watching the videos she makes with Robin, and just how much he loves spending time with her. It definitely makes me think “mam goals!” whenever I see them together 🙂

If you haven’t followed her yet then, please do! I’ll leave the links below 🙂

Obviously, I couldn’t start a parenting blog without introducing you all to the little lady who started it all….

She loves the outdoors!

Everyone! Meet Evelyn Rose (or Evie as we call her), born on the 6th of May 2017 at 2:04 am. I won’t gross you out with the gory details about her birth, but it was THE most terrifying thing in the world. However, after 8 hours of what felt like endless contractions, she was finally placed into my arms. She was (emphasis on the word ‘was’) the most quiet baby I’ve ever met. I was expecting a screaming banshee but instead, she spent most of the time staring at everything. And it all makes sense now because she’s a proper curious kid – always wanting to know what things are, and always ready to explore.

She adores the outdoors, even when it’s absolutely chucking it down with rain. She’s also a ‘creepy crawly kid’ which is all fine and dandy until she’s walking into the house with a ladybird or a woodlouse that she’s found! I’ve always said I’d try and keep my cool when it comes to bugs so that she doesn’t grow up to be afraid of them but it’s not happening! I suppose she’ll come in handy when there’s a great big massive spider that I need rescuing from!

So far, these last 2 years have been amazing. It doesn’t feel like we’ve only been her parents for such a short amount of time – it feels like we’ve always had her. Sure, I can remember lying in till 11:00am and then lounging around the house doing absolutely nothing. But all of that seems so boring now! I love getting up and watching Cbeebies with her, and watching Moana over and over and over again (believe it or not, there’s no sarcasm in that!!). She makes me super proud and it’s a privilege to be her Mam.
