I'm not sure if anyone else watches Vlogs on YouTube but I am a huge lover. Partly because I'm incredibly nosey and love seeing what other people get up to but also for inspiration, parenting advice and just generally something to do when Livs napping! Anyway, since way before Liv was born I've been an absolute addict to Mrs Meldrum. Her videos calmed me before labour, give me inspiration on birthday gifts/baby buys, advice on weaning and a lot more (probably a lot more than she realised she'd help someone, especially as I don't even know her!) but recently she left a video that made me rather emotional and left me feeling quite bad about the things I take for granted so this post is basically just to say thankyou to the wonderful Mrs Meldrum and a sorry to my lovely Callum. In her video she talked about how hard it is having a husband that works off shore and how lonely she gets in the evenings and how hard it is parenting alone. Something I often moan to Callum about, the difference being I actually have him at home. It's made me realise how lucky I really am. Callum works long hours and is often out of the house before 6 and not getting home until Livs in bed. I find it so hard having to do EVERYTHING for her on a daily basis from the moment she wakes up right until she's asleep and then all through the night and I never let Callum forget it and it's sometimes super easy to forget how wonderful I have it. Not only that he works hard enough to make enough money for us to live comfortably whilst I stay at home and look after Livi but also that when he gets home he will literally listen to me moan about him being at work, give me the worlds best life advice and he cooks me dinner. I know we've probably all been there and moaned about it to the working parent but it is definitely something I won't be moaning about again! (Or at least I'll try not to anyway!). I can't even begin to imagine how hard it is having a partner work away or even not having a partner and doing all the mummy grafting yourself, absolutely baffles me how amazingly some people cope. So thankyou Mrs Meldrum on your unintended life advice and sorry Callum for being nob head of the year!


Bless, thank you! I'm sure you aren't 'nob head of the year' everyone's allowed a moan & being mummy all day every day is hard graft!! Xx
