And this is what happens…

…When you tell the kids to get dressed while you’re cleaning the house….

I give you the "Disco Knight" and "Batgirl" !!!

Them: Aren’t we cool Mommy ?!

Me: Uhu…

... hi there! How are you? I know, I know, it is still only September, but do you think you could bring my gift a little earlier this year? I know I’m being unreasonable, but I have been a really good girl, trust me! (Minus the way too-much-spent-shopping mishap at Zara, but sure what's new?!) It's sold by Asos, and I HEART this warm color! It would complete every outfit I have planned for the next few months! Of course I would need both the small and the big size.

Also, because it’s on the Asos website, you wouldn’t even have to go out. You could just go on Internet…

And just in case you feel really generous, I am madly in love with this bag too:

It’s the "HERMES Birkin 50 Crocodile Look Leather Dark Brown handbag”, and the great news is that it’s on sale!!!

From $1,398.00 it is now $339.80!!! Isn’t this a bargain? See I’m even saving you some money…

Anyway, I hope you’ll give in to my request as I really, I really would be taking very good care of my gifts and I’ll promise I’ll behave well for the rest of the year.

Love,

Joy

But Motherhood Can also Give You The Most Beautiful Feeling...

I saw this video this video this morning and decided I would post it. I felt inspired by it as they are so many truths, so many wise words, so much love in this video.

Becoming a mom is like taking a leap into the unknown. Like flying among stars. And often, it also feels like banging your head against a wall. Like falling in love, and having your heart skip a beat every time you see your child smile back at you. Like seeing the world again for the first time. L Like being as close to God as possible when still on earth. Like trying and failing and learning over and over again. Like finally getting to know and understand your own mum. Like answering the big questions and finding you have a million new ones. It’s an exciting adventure, a long and sometimes terrifying journey and a new road to take every day.

So have a look, and hang in there because at the end, you know you wouldn’t change anything in your life, especially if after a hard day, the most honest sentence you hear from you child is simply: I love you Mommy…
