Change


Aloha Sprinklerinos,

I have been editing some of Baby Glitter's photographs for our family album and I couldn't help but share one of them.

Darcy is like a tonic. No matter what's happened in the day or how tired I feel, the little cherub always puts a bit of pep in my step and warmth in my heart.



It's true what they say, Motherhood will change your life.

Not for better or for worse*, just for different. I miss having free time and lay ins. I miss having space in my house that isn't filled with plastic toys and equipment and I miss not being able to gallivant about as easily seeing friends. You swap nights out for dinners in and find that some chums will embrace this and others will leave you behind.

You think about all this and wonder if you'll ever have those experiences again. And then you see your child discovering something new with absolute wonderment or laughing at the most innocent of amusements and your heart just melts. Nights out in grotty clubs and crashing on friend's floors suddenly becomes the last the thing in the world you want to do.

For a fleeting moment you can see the world their through pure, blissful eyes and everywhere looks incredible. All that matters is family and kind people and playing together and eating your yogurt. Those are a child's eyes but maybe it would do us good to look through them every now and again too.

Motherhood has changed my life.

  2. Such a lovely post, Darcy is an absolute darling. And always seems so happy in your videos - so no doubt in my mind you love being a mum, and Darcy definitely loves her mum.

  6. This is such a lovely post Louise and so true. I thought I had motherhood sussed until my little lady came into the world. And no one can explain to you what it's like. It's so many different emotions rolled into one! It's pretty darn amazing though! xxx

  10. I so understand. I do miss my night outs and such (I still get them but they are far and few inbetween) but my sons smile and hugs all make up for it. :)

  12. Aw your little girl looks like you. She is looking too cute in this pic!
    I completely agree with everything you've written. Motherhood has certainly changed my life. I almost forgotten how nights out were like as most nights are now spent cooking and feeding the little one, tidying toys, bedtime stories and cuddles with the night ending with 'good night mummy, I love you' :)

  13. This is such a lovely post, it honestly bought a tear to my eye :) You're such a good mother Louise, Darcy is just the most adorable little treasure i've ever seen! Seeing you two laughing and smiling together in your videos never fails to brighten my day :)

  52. Hi Louise, i can totally relate to this! My daughter is just turning 3 and I absolutely love being a mummy. The things you lose (lie ins and crazy nights out) pale in comparison to seeing your child grow and change into a little person. The first time my daughter said "mumma" was one of a hundred memories that I will cherish forever. Love your blogs and blogs, keep up the good work :) Sally x

  53. Now I'm not always a fan of other people's children (bear with me here this is a positive comment if you stick with me!) I love the children who are family because obviously they are the most beautiful children in the world because they are your flesh and blood and you love them unconditionally. However, other people's children are never quite as cute as the ones you share a name with.....EXCEPT DARCY! She is without a doubt one of the cutest child I've ever seen in my life! It's her eyes that really do it she's just so adorable and she looks so much like you!

  57. I literally cannot wait to start my own family and experience this too! Well, I can. It's my dream but it would terrify me if I had a baby now.
    A really lovely post - so many people focus on the best bits and worst bits of being a mummy but I hope it's just like the picture you've painted :)

  59. Darcy is a gift, treasure her (as I know you do) she really is such a beautiful child :) It makes me happy to see her development. It's so nice she will have so many videos and photographs of herself to look back on when she is a little older.

  73. I was just talking to my husband about this very thing the other night. I told him that the person I was prior to the birth of our daughter 10 months ago has sort of died and I'm a different person now. I sometimes miss the old me but I certainly love being a mom and the new and improved version of myself. Your post said it beautifully and it was as if you took the thoughts right from my own mind. You are magnificent!
