天美麻豆

I am Kat, 30 year old mama to one spirited small boy, named Ellis. We live with 2 cats, one goldfish, a couple of slugs and a dada named Kevin in Stirling, Scotland. Parenthood has been the best thing I have ever done, and the hardest. I guess I thought I would have one of those quiet, sleep through the night types. What I got was SOOOO much better and very unexpected. Ellis is the craziest, most wonderful person I know. From the moment he was born 4 weeks early, he has challenged us to be: -more understanding of his sensitive nature -more patient with his very short fuse -more able to live on less sleep than I ever thought humanly possible -more willing to try and see and do than my introverted nature thought possible -more able to dust off the opinions of others who judge this clever, high-need, spirited, busy small person I write the blog because I felt so alone parenting a high need baby and to be the glimmer of light in my mother鈥檚 day (she checks the blog from Iowa every morning!). Oh and to keep a record of the journey. I also enjoy making lists and electronic list making really is practically nirvana for this virgo! When I am not blogging, I can be found: -crafting away, but never finishing anything -obsessively reading other blogs so I can compare myself to them and get ideas for other projects to start and never finish -working in the environmental sector 2.5 days a week -studying to be a doula and an antenatal teacher
