You sound like a great mum 🙂 you so cannot have too many books, I agree on the mum tum and I think every mum has stolen the kids sweets – I have oops. This was lvoely to read and thanks for doing the tag x
Ah, baby wipes. I think I might carry on buying them after Baby Bear is out of nappies because they’re just so handy for giving things a quick clean! Plus, they’re good to have in the car since Tyger gets car sick…

Yes I ate a packet of his buttons the other night, felt major guilt but did it anyway! Even asked my husband ‘is it really bad if I…’ lol! I’m replacing them when I do the shop tonight – to be fair he hasn’t noticed… YET ! x #PicknMix
The one about photographs- totally true – I love looking at photos of my little one and there are so few of me actually with her, normally because I’m the one taking the picture!
I enjoyed reading this list

Lovely list – you sound a great Mum!
Yes to all of these – I totally have “Gone to bed guilt” and may have just finished a packet of haribo which I will need to replace before I pick my son up!
I enjoyed reading your list. I am sure there are many things on it that apply to lots of us mums! Thank you for sharing/hosting #PicknMix
I can especially relate to the cleaning everything with baby wipes & replacing ‘stolen’ sweets! #picknmix
Ah you wouldn’t be a mum without guilt! It comes as part of the package. That’s really sweet that you have a fear of heights if your kids are up with you – I’m sure that’s your mommy instincts at work. Lovely to learn more about you! Thank you for hosting #PicknMix x
What a lovely post. I’m absolutely with you on being afraid of heights if I’m with my children, and the baby wipes! Definitely not on the eating the kids sweets though… *embarrassed and totally guilty face – probably with a few curly wurly crumbs on it. :0)
Thanks for hosting a fab linky #PicknMix :0)
Oh my word! SO much of your list resonates with me, from the funny (cleaning everything with baby wipes) to the sad (loves watching my children grow and change, but finds it sad that they aren’t little for long). I loved reading the post and all the responses…
Thank you for hosting;-) #picknMix
Awww this is so lovely. You’re such a beautiful mama! I also clean everything with wet wipes and have way too many books haha. 😀 X
Lovely list. I love cleaning things with baby wipes too (thought that was just me)! x
You should never feel guilty for being part of a split family. I think guilt and parenthood come hand in hand though. #picknmix
P.s you will still be buying wet wipes when your kids are fully grown, I wouldnt be without them
Great post! I clean everything with baby wipes too. I don’t know how I managed before children when I didn’t even know about baby wipes! Hx #PicknMix
I don’t feel like a real mum either, it’s weird isn’t it?! #PicknMix xx
Where would us Mum’s be without baby wipes hey?!I love being surrounded by books too,I read loads as a kid and am so pleased my 6 year old is showing signs of enjoying reading too! xx #picknmix
I can identify with most of these! #Picknmix
Ahhh we always eat the boys sweets and chocolates – especially at Easter time!! I think my post would be very similar to yours. I also dream of “me” time and then miss them like mad! Thanks so much for hostinf. #picknmix
Aww what a lovely list. Yes, very important to tell our littles we love them each and every day.
I love this! I enjoyed reading your honesty, great post. Hoping to be tagged myself now!! #pickandmixfridays
Great list – I especially love the baby wipes one, I do that too #picknmix xx
Me too! I have loads of great ideas for crafts and sensory play but never seems to get around to doing them and does not like my stretch marks and misses my pre mum tum either. 🙁 Please don’t feels guilty for them being part of a split family. Things take time to heal. xx #PicknMix
