Sharing time as mummy & wifey !

Morning girlies, as most of you know i am soon jetting off to Las Vegas for a break with Chris my hubby and no children.
This post is just a random waffle about how sometimes it's hard to find the perfect balance of being a mum & wife and still have time for yourself.
Me and Chris got married in November 2008 and we didn't have a honeymoon. Firstly Rocco was only a baby and i didn't want to leave him so young and 2nd we couldn't afford anywhere decent so decided to put it off for a while.
So this is why we decided to go to Vegas just for 5 days with a few friends and to have some time on our own.

I have to say i do feel a little guilty leaving the kids although they are with there grandparents and will be spoilt rotten but of course we will miss them.

Sometimes it's hard to juggle being a good mum and to still have time for me.
Anyway today i am off to the salon to have a spray tan, eyelash extensions and my nails done :) It's rare i have anything done so it's a real treat for me.

We took the kids to butlins for the weekend and they loved it so much but it left me shattered lol. I can so tell that I'm getting old. Here's a few photo's of them enjoying the rides:


I love my boys to bits but am so looking forward to a break too. Well done to all the other mums out there who manage to be a wife, partner, mum, sister, friend, daughter and still manage to fit in a little me time.
Some people may think it's selfish to do what makes you happy sometimes but if mum's not happy then nobody else is. A mum can make or break a family.
Life is a constant ride lets make the most of it and enjoy the journey xx

  1. I so agree with you, if you're not happy then your friends/family surrounding you aren't happy either.

    I wish you a great time in Vegas!

    Love your blog ;)

  2. I can totally relate to this post. Mr. LA and I have never had a holiday together without the children. We had only been together a few months when I fell pregnant with Izzy. We're getting married in Jan 2012 and planning a honeymoon about 6 months later which will be our first trip without the kids. I can't wait, the children will have a fabulous time with their Grandparents but I'm sure I'll start to worry and feel guilty as it draws closer. You're right about needing to look afer yourself and have 'me' time, keeps you sane!

    Have an amazing holiday!

  10. I know exactly how you feel. Why are we burdened with Mothers guilt!! I feel so guilty any time I leave my kids but the reality is when I come back it makes my time with them all the more special as I am refreshed and I feel like me again and can give them 100%! Go to vegas and have a blast with your hubby, remember what it is to feel carefree and young again!! your kids will have a ball and will be glad to see you returning happy and full of life! Enjoy xx
