Those are great, but #10 gave me goosebumps. That’s so true and one of the things I love about London!
Hi Luschka, thanks, it was really interesting looking back as there have been so many of these ‘wtf’ or ‘omg’ mummy moments. And yeah #10 is def one of the amazing things about living in a city like this. Are you entering the carnival? Will be by your blog in a minute :-)
I LOVE them all!
Being a mom s full of awe inspiring moments I bet it was nice to sit down nd think of the all! What a great idea!
I am going to follow you and steal you button!
throughly pleased to meet you and thank you for the kind words.
this is a truly remarkable post…powerful and poignant!
Hi Jessica, great to have you here. It really was fun to look back and you can only imagine just how many moments there are when you think on it! Motherhood is crazy but fun. Thanks for the feedback :-)
Hello there, well it’s a real pleasure to have not just a muse but The Muse on my blog! :-) Thanks so much for the appreciation, I really enjoyed writing it. Hope you’ll be back!
Stopping by from SITS and wishing you a GREAT Saturday :)
Being a mom is awesome, an honor, inspiring, challenging, tiring, rewarding and so much more!
Thanks for stopping by my place today :-)
Stopping by from SITS to say Hi!
I am adding you so I can come back & read more!
Please stop by!

Thanks Tinka, right back at you :-)
It really is all that and more, Lisa and you’re welcome. Thanks for coming by and hope you’ll be back.
Hi Denise, I will catch up with you at your blog. Thanks for the visit :-)
It’s been quite some time since I’ve been a mom of a little one since I now have a son going on twenty. I’m at a age (empty nester) where I’m just waiting for a grandchild in the next 5 years. LOL! My younger sister her two girls are 18 and 14 but my brother has a 7 year old so I get to spend time with her and do funny aunite stuff!
No. 10 is my favorite! No 5 & 6 are just flipping funny! I couldn’t stop laughing! =)
Dropping by from SITS. Please visit my blog too. I’m entering a wedding blog contest and need tons of comments =) Thanks before! =)
Well you would be one rocking grandma, that’s for sure! And I love being an auntie, I’m gonna post soon about the joys of auntieness. Glad to have you with us, do stop by anytime :-)
Ha ha, I know we laughed at no. 6 too…at first but that was just trouble begging to happen. It took a while to wean him off that phrase, but we got there in the end (just plain ignoring it instead of giggling worked after some time!). Will be at your blog in a jiffy :-)
Hi again Shinta, I tried commenting on your blog (over and over) but it didn’t work – something about html script even though I wrote in plain text? Anyway, enjoying your wedding story and good luck with the contest!
Being a mom is truly a blessing – every single moment of my life with my daughters are gift to be treasured.. I really love this post – thanks so much for sharing!
Also thanks so much for stopping by – stay in touch:)
xoxo
Hi Maki, pleased to have you here and you’re right, it’s impossible to express just how amazing it is to be a mum – until you’re living it (and even then it’s hard to find the words)! Will stay in touch.
Hi Uju, what a wonderful post. I read it with a huge smile on my face. Sometimes, when you get all caught up in the busyness of it all, you forget to cherish those little moments. But this piece reminds us that this is what life is about – the memories, the laughter, the joy of loving and being loved, the ties that bind. Two of my favourite memories are when my now almost 11 year old daughter, Mayowa, didn’t know the word “barefoot”, so when I would ask her, “have you put on your shoes?” she would reply, “no, I’m only wearing my toes.” And when my almost 9 year old son Seyi was about 3, sometimes he would steal away from his sister, cousins and friends and climb into my lap. And I would ask him, “Seyi, why not go and play? don’t you want to be with your friends?” And he would look up at me and say,”No, I just want to be with you, mummy.” And my heart would literally melt.
Aww so sweet. Kids really can stop you in your tracks, in the best possible sense. I’m actually trying to keep notes of my favourite moments with the babes. I’m also recording Ezra’s funniest quotes – I’m going to put it together and call it the Book of Ezra!
Awesome list! I remember the hiccups and the full body rollovers as well. I hope I don’t forget that. Loved #10!
#2: Wow, at 18 months!
So many wonderful anecdotes ~ thank you for sharing!
That 3D imaging is amazing!

Oh my goodness. I have just liked your page on facebook. How wonderful to read how you have embraced motherhood so wholeheartedly. Beautiful indeed!
Ah yes, the leaking boobs. Happened all the time, and I can’t tell which was worse- having a wet shirt, or having breast pads come out of the top of bra.
Eh, no strangers are looking at me for anything romantic these days, anyhow. ;)
Happy SITS day from Chicago!
