Hello & Welcome!

Welcome to my blog and thank you for coming!

Three months ago my life changed forever. I became a Mum.

My life then became entirely about him, his needs, his feeds, his clothes and his sleep. But along the way I learned, a lot! Number one, I learned I needed to put myself first and look after myself.  It wasn’t until I looked after myself, could I properly look after him. With that in mind My sister said to me ‘why don’t you start a blog?’ I went on to tell her how could I, I’m not a good writer and no one wants to listen to a Mum that’s still learning. Her response was why not. She said I could tell the honest story and share my adventure. And even if no one reads it, I could read back on it in a few years time and remember the moments I write about.

So that’s how it all started.

Now I warn you, my blog is going to be honest. Sure I’m going to post some cute photos of my son Archer, and some of our dogs. But I’m also going to talk about him refusing sleep, balancing home cooking with a crying baby and the poo explosions - because that’s life! All about honesty here and supporting each other.

I’m huge believer in girls supporting each other in a non-judgemental space. We should be encouraging each other and helping one another. And we can only do that when we are honest. If we hide away the imperfections and make everything seem perfect, that’s why those around us think they need to live up to the perfection they see. Life is imperfect, and we should embrace it!

So who am I?

Well, my name is Natalie and I love coffee, chocolate and cheese. The three C’s! I love in Auckland with my caring husband Chris and beautiful son. We have two dogs living with us whom believe they run the house. I was born in Surrey, England and moved here with my family when I was 16.

Life has been a big journey so far, and I look forward to sharing with you the journey ahead.

Love to you all!
Mrs Robinson
