After finding Daisy a wonderful little nursery with fab staff, all I can do is sob to the Mr about how Daisy didn't want to say hello to the other children without me until the staff where holding out hands to her and introducing her to other little girls and asking if she would like to play in the garden, then she gave me a glace for approval and off she went....
Where do all the Mommas go to cry while their children are in nursery?
It will be SO beneficial to Daisy to play with other children, to lean to respect other children and play in groups, have lunch with other kids and have some independent time. Which is why I'm paying though the roof for her to spend one morning and lunch time meal a week there. Schools should teach kids the price of childcare in schools, now there is a contraceptive!
I just never expected the feelings of being a Mother. I thought I had a baby for me? but I had a baby for said baby to have a life of their own. That's one thing but another is to realise one morning that they are already beginning to live their own life before I even realised that's what they would do.
Blown away.
Being a mother is indescribable.
Its a feeling that hasn't even been given a name. I just hope Daisy enjoys this as much as I am :')

Faux Hawk.
The fab Nicole Kidman rocked a super sleek and sexy Mohican in Cannes on Wednesday and so it has taken me two ish days to attempt to recreate the updo. Its pretty simple to do but needs improvement from this first attempt.
(tries to explain how but cant think of the words right now) >.<
All I know is Daisy told me she "likes hair" so its been approved by kiddies. I didn't even have to ask for her opinion!
Has anyone else tried it yet?

Topshop Hair Artist.
Has anyone tried the new hair chalk from Topshop?
Being pregnant, dying hair should be a no no and a very committing time but a girl has to have some fun that doesn't consist of making her Mr jealous by drawing pictures of a desired Cbeebies personality on their daughters chalk board.
No dye
No commitment
Must be fab, yes?

Shopping and shopping.
On Saturday I dropped the little one to Mothers for lunch and an afternoon play while me and my sister popped to Bristol for a bit of shopping. By the time we got our chops round a giant GBK burger, skinny fries and giant milkshake it was 2pm and after the first floor of Primark was complete I casually turn to ask my sister what the time was, to be hit with a time of 4:30pm was not well received. Being the most organised Momma ever I went into sheer panic and felt horrific that I had even taken that much time to myself and was out after 4pm felt very naughty! Jeez. So, Mr didn't get anything from Primark and I made a quick dash around the home section, only to be disappointed but a Momma can always pick up some new sheets and a take out coffee cup for after baby is born so I can attempt to survive if I ever leave the house! and the sister and I picked Daisy up a few little playsuits for summer and some sunglasses cause the girl loves to wear glasses like her Momma and as many bits in her hair as she can find lying around.
Sunday morning was fab. I actually love nothing more about shopping than getting a juicy little piece for cheap, especially now I'm a Momma. So with the help of the parents and sister, and of course Daisy, I managed to pick up a double pushchair from a local car boot sale. Always looking for something to do on a Sunday morning. Mr had his heart set on a £700 plus icandy peach pushchair or whatever its called but Daisy is so independent I would hate for his (and mine) hard earned money to go on a pushchair that Daisy isn't even going to use as well as Beebee. So, £20 got us a mothercare tandem 'phoenix' contraption for the 'I just need to run to the shop and its chucking down with rain so please sit nicely kids, moments. I also picked up a few bits of clothes and blankets and bedding for the boy. Daisy got a cuddly Dumbo.
Daisy loves Dumbo.
Daisy is eternally happy.
Monday has been an average day, apart from the genius of a new slow cooker which I purchased somewhere in between, and watching Mr try to dig out the pond along with giant bushes and pond reeds. Nightmare.
The plan for tomorrow was to take Daisy to the Zoo. She would absolutely pop but the forecast is rain rain rain so.
Does anyone have a mothercare 'phoenix' ?
Or any idea what to do with my last day off?

Waking up to earrings. Wonderful.
Well... Busybusybusy.
After a three day week at work Friday I turned into the oldest 23 year old ever. I had a fab day, My daughter presented me with a yummy cake (despite my terror of seeing that my mother had got my small child to hold a cake larger than her head with two candles burning on it) OH MOTHER! >.< even Daisy looked at me like 'erm, even I know I shouldn't be doing this.... what is nanna doing?!'
Anyway, I was presented with a fab little cake pop maker which will come in really handy for when I'm catering all the wonderful childrens parties... and a delicious Zara bag
Wowzarzara
Super practical, enough room for all Daisy's bits and bobs and babies things and also maybe some of my own things if I'm lucky :p also the handy little draw string top prevents little hands popping in and out with whatever snack is fancied or things falling out as it hangs over the pushchair. looks swell, like a grown up bag. Boop.
Other gifts from family included a couple of vouchers, a voucher for a hair salon from the lovely sister, which I am very much looking forward to using. If not before baby is born to spruce myself up before getting all sweaty, after to kick start me back into being 'yummy' The Mr's side of the family rummaged through a sweet little shop called Carolyn's
I wont explain, just look
Ahhh.
Boom I want everything.
I also got two memorable cards. One from Mr's brother and girlfriend. Erm, who's card declared me 'sister in law' ermm, if I don't get the benefits of being married I do not... well, I just didn't like it. Is that ok? I don't know if I was emotional? would anyone agree?
And a sweet little home made card from Mr's brother's (for blog purposes only I refer to him at home as Mr. I see what's happened!) daughter which was incredibly sweet.
By the end of the day I was ready to cry and was in a stroppy mood. Is it normal to get like that after a birthday or am I just feeling old?

A sucker for a bit of honey.
After having a wonderful haircut from the Mr with the kitchen scissors my hair has been feeling a little healthier but if its a busy morning, I leave my hair to dry naturally cause hey, its the last thing on my mind sometimes, it ends up a big frizzy mess. Not the beach babe hair I tell myself its transforming into as it blows in the wind of a supermarket car park or having fish shaped stickers stuck in it.
Anyway, after seeing the new Herbal Essences 'Bee Strong' shampoo and conditioner I had to give it a try. Seeing its supportive name first thing in the morning is one thing is one thing but I love beauty products which contain honey and a super sweet smell like this product. AMAZING. the shampoo alone was as conditioning as I would expect the conditioner to be so once the conditioner was washed off, my hair was left super, super soft. I cant stand it when you leave a conditioner on for ages and then still cant get a brush trough it after towel drying but this was a break through this morning.
I gave it the ultimate test and let my hair dry naturally. Admittedly, I didn't leave the house this morning but my hair dried frizz free and soft. I was stunned. My toddler wasn't even tempted to squish play dough into my hair and even offered to brush my hair.
Now, instead of napping, she is singing away in bed while I am sat on the sofa enjoying the smell of honey and dreading going outside as debris seems to be frying across my living room window. I wonder how my hair will feel at the end of the day with all this wind outside?
Go to ASDA and buy Herbal Essences Bee Strong. 2 for £4. Or give the little bottles a try first for just £1! Must have for Mommas.

Sun Shades, Sun Cream & Sand.
The Mr was working a Family Fun Day on the Sea front so myself and the Daisy went for a lovely quiet lunch with My sister Cherry. Our favourite is a little granny lunch of cottage pie in Bhs! The do an amazing job at catering for children, no place has quite fulfilled my expectations for children's food as most provide glasses for drinking and grown up knives and forks with massive bowls etc, but Bhs has been the best find so far.
They do a fab little children's deal provided by Annabel Karmel where for around a fiver you can choose from a picnic bag containing a sandwich, biscuits, freeze dried fruit 'crisps' and a fruit water or a prepared on demand, healthy, hot meal, freeze dried fruit 'crisps' a fruit water and a little pot of dairy ice cream. Daisy also takes fully advantage of the free use crayons and colouring papers as she enjoyed sitting in her chair singing 'Mr Maker' which trying to dance and draw at the same time! My only issue is the woman brought out the bowl of spaghetti bolognaise and put it strait in front of Daisy, instinct immediately causes me to pull the bowl away from my small child as I don't know the temperature of the bowl or exactly what it contains. The woman seems to take offence and says the bowl is not hot (well, I don't care what you say, thanks, politely) Shes right the bowl isn't hot but the food was scolding.
Anyway, after that we said hello to Mr and hit the beach. Daisy LOVES the sand. She will eat it, throw it in the air shouting at the top of her voice 'DUMBO, YOU CAN FLY!' and pour it in her pockets to play with when we get home on the living room floor. Hey, at least I wasn't the mother shouting at her small child to 'Put that sand down' as he picked up a handful...
It was lovely to spend time just hanging out with Daisy and my sister.
My proudest moment of the day was Daisy displaying a need to pee. I asked her if she would like to use the toilet and she agreed so for the first time my 21 month old held her pee until she sat on her peppa pig toilet seat on the big girl toilet. I would recommend getting some Andrex toilet wipes for kids. they have a handy little tub with a picture of different animals on which you can talk about while 'waiting' and then a child friendly button which pops the lid and a fab dispenser with only allows the child to pull out one wipe at a time and then after Daisy had freshened up all by herself she hops off to flush the chain, wipe her hands and say 'Proud!'

Happy Morning.
After a uncomfortable night sleep with back ache, tummy cramp, calf cramp and uncomfortable boobs (oh being pregnant) I'm up before Daisy, as usual, and feeling a little more human after a shower and putting on my fav top from a delicious boutique in my local High Street. It's lovely and summery and floats over baby bump to keep it cool and safe ^_^ The majority of the big name stores have closed down and I cant say I'm too bothered. It just means places like Number 5 open up and sell new, pre loved and vintage clothing, jewellery and accessories for really good prices. I could spend all day in that shop.
I'm about to have our daily breakfast spread with Daisy, which is a really handy time to get lots of cereals and fruit down her, and then spend the day in the sun. I'm a little ill prepared for the summer so will get that sorted this morning.
How do you feel good in the morning?

Boop.
Ok, so... I'm not going to say "Hello" or anything. I don't expect anyone to be on the receiving end so that would be silly.
Hopefully its not too inconsiderate of me to call myself 'The Momma' but just for internet status that's what I will do.
I am currently a 22 year old Mother of one incredible little slice of female inspiration of the future. People would say she's a near 2 year old little girl but I call her Daisy. She is phenomenal, she was the start of my own personal independence which exploded on the 4th July 2011 (no relation of explosion with the process of labour) I wont go into my labour story cause most women would send me hate mail, and she will, with no shadow of a doubt, go on to have her own personal experiences of love, but for now she is mine.
As well as Daisy I have a wonderful man who couldn't make me happier. He believes entirely that he doesn't make me happy but boy if he ever knew. He is a beautiful man who doesn't get enough recognition as the seamless photographer that he is.
Ermm... As far as introducing myself, that was what came first which is the story of my life (and all mothers I would assume) we don't come first. That is absolutely fine. I used to be a beauty junkie, I have a BTEC National Diploma in Beauty Therapy Sciences which I am proud of as most beauty therapists don't have the title that they should have. People sweep the name under the carpet and tend to think 'beauty' oh, she paints nails etc. NO. I would always defend beauty therapists but I wont get into it because I couldn't even do anything with my qualifications so have a lot of respect for those who are practicing and I think I don't need to say any more.
In the soon future I will be a 23 year old Mother of two. The Male version is on his way. I am very adamant that I am not ungrateful in the least, as I don't mind saying that I would have loved a sister for Daisy. I have a sister and it is wonderful. I love having a friend that I can share things with and having common ground with a sibling is very special. HOWEVER, don't hate me yet (I've said a lot for people to hate me already :/) I am over the moon that Daisy will have a sibling that she can rely on and play with and teach.... It's quite nice to think she will have a bond with her brother that I wont even be able to understand so it will be entirely hers.
That's about it. Im quite dull. I don't get time to do all the beauty things I used too. I don't get time to wear, or actually buy, all the clothes I would love too. But how important is that really?! I will post them on here and feel like I have. I will be able to post about babies and baking (which I love) and throwing children's parties, which I also love (I would secretly love to be a children's party planner)
So, yeah...
