Mulling over my previous post I’ve just realised that a more prescient piece of advice to my pre-baby self would have been something far less cerebral and emotional: buy a coat with a hood. Pushing a buggy and holding a brolly just do not work. Ever.
Mind you, given in these early sleep addled weeks I have to choose between brushing my teeth or brushing my hair each day, soggy and windswept doesn’t make too much difference.
Love this ~ buying a sensible coat with a hood was a defining mummy moment for me. No more buying coats because they're nice or stylish. From now on it's multi-pocketed, wipe-clean and waterproof only.
If only they made wipe clean everything! I am always wandering around smeared in *somethingorother* x
