6 years ago I met the love of my life! I met a man that was beyond my wildest dreams- in looks,
then I go to know him and he was beyond my wildest dreams all over! We got married not long after in 2007
and it was a beautiful day and I look at the pictures of that day and know how
lucky I am. As per our plan, I
fell pregnant with our first child.
On 29 August 2008 I fell in love AGAIN! A different love but I fell in love again! I love my husband with my WHOLE heart
but it is conditional- don’t cheat, lie, steal or hurt me. But our children I love
unconditionally. Then add to that
that I have felt this little person grow from pea size to 6 pond 4 ounces,
every flutter they made inside was from my moving or feeling, I nurtured you
inside me making sure you grew healthy, then you were born into this
world. That is why my love for our
children differs from the love for my husband. Both I love equally and there is no hierarchy but it is
definitely different. Then on 23
December 2010 I felt this love all over AGAIN! Some people never fall in love but I have been lucky enough
to fall in love 3 times and remain in love all these years. It is the most special, warming and brilliant
blessing I could ever receive.

Back to my first love, my husband, he is a true inspiration to
men these days. He is not a chauvinistic
pig but nor is he so sensitive you forget you married a man! He has feelings and he lets them known,
he can build anything, he can fix anything and he can love, by gosh can this
man love! The love he shows myself
and the love he shows our 2 children is to die for! Has our marriage been the perfect magazine marriage- hell no
its been the normal, work in progress marriage. One thing on our side is we both GENUINELY love each other
and believe in our vows we made on the 16 June 2007! Just because my husband doesn’t get up at night to the
children, or take them out so I can sleep in or watch them at night so I can go
out does not make him a bad father!
He spends QUALITY time with our children not “scheduled” time or ‘you
must be here’ time with them but genuine time with US all as a FAMILY. Again this is not a dig at others who
run their families differently but it’s an explanation of how we run ours and
that it works beautifully and our children are extremely happy. My husband works a lot and he does this
for us, for our family but he also loves us all very much and I know he would
love to have more time with us and this I'm sure will happen once we are more
financially stable. We have spent the last few Sundays just hanging out at
home. My husband has built the
children the most amazing cubby house; well I call it the mansion as its
huge! We have all been together
and it’s been fun and great!
Sundays is ‘our’ day, it’s the day we spend quality time together, most
Sundays anyway. I love my 3 loves
with all of my heart and cooking, cleaning and nurturing them all is the least
I can do for the love they give me in return.
Enjoy your families but remember that just because you live a
certain way doesn’t make it wrong it makes it right for your family and that’s
all that counts. To all those
mummy’s out there who struggle, take a breath and know you’re doing the best
you can and your family love you for it and be proud of yourself. For all the mummy’s out there who have
found motherhood fits them like a glove, keep doing what you love and be proud
of your family and yourself. To
all the men reading this (probably husbands reading over wife’s shoulder lol)
thank your wife, the mother of your children for the things she does, let her
know how much she is appreciated as you just don’t know how hard her day has
been or what judgment someone has made on her that day. Love daily and laugh often.
