Welcome to Mummy Pig Days, a blog about me (Mummy Pig), my life and my little pig family. Why the name Mummy Pig? My son, Baby Pig, started calling me Mummy Pig two months ago when he was pretending we were a family of pigs. The name stuck and he's just kept calling me Mummy Pig. It's cute, but also a bit embarrassing when we're in the supermarket or at my daughter's kindergarten and he yells out "MUMMY PIG, MUMMY PIG" in his loudest voice! Baby Pig is nearly 2 and a half and his sister, Sister Pig, is 3 and a half and there's Daddy Pig as well.
Enough about the pig names and a bit more about me.
I like natural parenting and I spend a lot of time reading about natural parenting topics. In theory, I should be a natural parenting expert by now but in reality, I feel like I'm failing a bit in the parenting department. I yell too much. I hate yelling, especially yelling at kids but I find myself all too often yelling at my kids. Baby Pig is good for me because if I start to raise my voice he says to me "talk carefully mummy" but it shouldn't come to that. I'm working really hard on not yelling anymore... I failed at not yelling today though.
I love gardening. I eat way too much chocolate. I need to lose weight. And I have this constant battle with depression that effects every aspect of my life, especially my parenting, and I hate it. I feel like I have so much to be happy about but most of the time I have this constant gloomy mood bringing me down and it's really frustrating.
This blog is going to be about me trying to be a better person in general, a better parent, a better partner to Daddy Pig and trying to really enjoy my life instead of dragging myself from one day to the next. There will be a little bit about everything; parenting, food, gardening, health, depression, weight loss, setting myself challenges... All kinds of things. My BETTER life starts now :)
