catch up time

OK, so I've missed ALOT of blog opportunities.. The birth of my new son, the decision the close Baby For Life store, Christmas time..So I'll just talk about how much I am in love with Fox- my new son. Maybe I might talk about the shop too.
Of course everyone is asking me about my decision to close- why? I would think it was rather obvious the second you enter the store- I have a brand new baby. Now yes I have been doing ( or attempting to do) the supermum thing for way too long now. I had managed, then I decided I didnt need to be over the top busy and stressed. Im now happy to be a work at home mum- or at least I will be once the store is finally closed come end of january.

Despite wanting and trying for over 2 years to have our first son Memphis, I was in a hurry to return to work and keep life as 'normal' as possible. I was adamant we didnt have to become these people who was just consumed with kids. I succeeded that mission.. But now all I want to do is be at home with my boys.. Its funny how in an instant your priorities can change. I have seen how fast little people grow. I am amazed everyday with the way their little minds work and the funny things they say. I do not want to miss a moment of all this with Fox.


Life is so far easier than I imagined with 2 kids. Fox feeds well, sometimes catnaps through the day, other times will sleep for 5 hours straight. At night he's down between 9-11pm, but will only wake once for a feed about 3am. Im so very lucky. Lucky to have a fairly settled baby, an awesome husband who takes turns getting up to him, and  big brother who has shown nothing but love.

The last 2 days here at the shop have been flatout busy. Lucky for me Fox has slept while I've been working my magic.. Days like these do make my decision hard.. I get a buzz, a slight rush when selling. It's exciting. It's even better cause I really believe in what I sell. But to ensure I dont get sad I just think that it doesnt have to be forever. When the boys are grown up I could open another shop.. Till then I'm still trading online and will keep going to markets..

Well It's nearly hometime. Off to shut the store, feed Fox then off to get Memphis from daycare. Next entry will be really soon, it's going to be a busy couple of weeks.
