What I Have Learned Since Becoming a Mum
- Baby Wipes are the ultimate Multi-Purpose Tool, Napisan runs a close second. If you can’t fix it with Baby Wipes or Napisan, throw it out
- A breastfed baby may not object to the taste of your milk after a sweet chilli wrap, but you may object to being up with her the whole night because she has wind
- A dirty nappy thrown across the room WILL land inside out
- Toddlers are capable of consuming twice their body weight in snacks, 1 hour in to a full day out of the house
- If you think you have put something high enough to stop a small child from reaching it, you are wrong (refer below)
- Hair spray will remove pen from a micro suede dining chair
- A dual cab ute is not large enough to hold everything you need for a family of 3 to go away for more than 2 days
- Sultanas and slaters look very similar, but make a very different sound when eaten
- The first time I heard Skye say ‘mummy’ was one of the most beautiful moments of my life. The subsequent 687,345 times I have heard it since then have not left me with the same feelings of elation
- Staying up past normal bed time is no guarantee that you will get a sleep in the next morning
- There is no such thing as too many nappies
- You can turn anything into a meal with mashed potato
- Pointing and grunting until something you want is handed to you is a perfectly acceptable method of communication
- If you say it out loud, you will be proven wrong
- There is no sweeter sound in the world than the soft snore of a sleeping baby at the end of a long day
