So. Being content. What does that mean? The internet defines being content as being 'In a state of peaceful happiness.' Again, what does that mean? Or rather, what does that mean for me? To begin with, it's not a state that I find myself in a lot. Especially not with an 8 week old daughter in the house! Well, it is a state I find myself in when Genevieve is also in that state. It's when she's not that my contented walls come tumbling down. I was struggling to find a name for this blog. I wanted it to be a record of my journey of motherhood. And I thought about what that journey is, what is the biggest aspect of my journey that I would want to share with the internet? I have to admit that I'm not very good at keeping my cool, at least not when I'm by myself, or when it's just me and hubby and the dog. So what does that mean for my life as a mother? My life is no longer about me. Rather, it's about this beautiful little girl that I spent 9 months carrying under my heart and have now spent 8 weeks falling more and more in love with. So I'm making a commitment now, with the internet as my witness. No more losing my cool, not at hubby, not at the dog and definately not at my perfect little princess. Especially when she's being a not-so-perfect little princess. This blog will hopefully hold me accountable to this commitment. So here goes. Here is the start of my life as a Contented Mum!
