"Hot mama"...a headline splashed on the urban section of the newspapers today...hard to miss. An article about weigth lost and how 4 mums managed to look trim and beautiful while handling a baby and a career at the same time...yummy mummies. What a joke...its idealism like this that makes a mockery of what everyday mummies go through each day. Not only do we manage to keep ourselves sane and at the same time ensure that the household is functioning well...we are also expected to look fabulous at the same time!! Is that humanly possible? But i believe that God made us that way...having the ability to cope with mothering...
So to all my mummy friends out there...i take my hat off to all of you...indeed we share a unique journey that only another mother can understand...hang in there and give yourself a little treat each day! You are doing a great job in getting through each day! Blessed Mother's day in advance.

How do they manage to be 'yummy mummys'? Answer: Domestic Helpers.
I'm sure if they give us a make over and those glamorous clothes, we'll be yummy mummies too!
Isn't it irritating that the media always portrays a "successful" mother as one who has managed to look good outwardly, juggle a successful high-flying job and has a cheerful little kid in tow and they make it as if it is all done EFFORTLESSLY!
