1. Why our clothes are stained. If you see a stain on our top, chances are it is either a milk, puke, pee or poop stain. We have learnt to live with it. We hope you can too. 2. Why our clothes don’t match. See point 1 3. Why some of us new mums pump…
I can hear some of you say ‘what’s the fuss about?’ Or perhaps you may be saying ‘you’ll get over it soon enough’. Well at the moment I am writing this blog just after having observed that one white hair again on my head! I had noticed it a couple of months back and I…
