- Taken Baby M swimming at Shoreditch House
- Eaten the best granola quite possibly in the world (again at Shoreditch House)
- Gone to a fashion show (Africa Utopia) and had second row seats
- Had the most luscious afternoon tea at the Park Lane Hotel
- Spent quality daddy, mama and baby time at London Fields Park
- Gone to the gym EVERY SINGLE DAY like a freaken champion
I feel lush lush lush. Summer in London is the best place in the world and I am buzzing on my own adrenalin. I never thought that being a mama could be so fulfilling, but every day I wake up and I am inspired by my baby to be faster, better, stronger. I used to think I was organised and multi-tasked well, but that previous self isn't a shade on my new post baby self. I was looking in the mirror the other day and noticed that despite my stretch marks and slight belly, I looked good. In fact, I looked strong and together. I am turning into the woman I have always wanted to be. There have been some days during the last 5 months that I have thought that perhaps I wasn't quite cut out for motherhood and that all those sleepless nights would last forever (along with my post baby belly). I can clearly remember being snappy at every little thing, and obsessing over internet blogs over every cough, hiccup and blink my poor Baby M would do. Looking back, I can see that I was taking a hiatus from myself to exist solely for my child. But slowly, and surely, my little Baby M is growing. He is smiling, giggling and loving me. And through his love, I am loving myself. If you had told me that post baby, I could run 6km through a park, or complete 8 workouts in 7 days, or be a good wife whilst being a good friend whilst being a good mother, I would have told you that something has got to give. I feel so inspired at the moment by my abilities that I am forever dreaming up new projects. I love that my child has come to not only define me, but has inspired me. I am ready for tomorrow because of today
