Why do they grow up so quick?

Before you have children everyone who does have children always says "soak it all up, it goes so quick!" and you really, truly do not believe it until it does.

I don’t want her to ever hate herself.

I was getting dressed in front of Nova the other day. Something I do almost everyday, because as any parent will know children have to be within close proximity to you at all times! But this time was different. I usually stand in front of the mirror and look at all the bits about my… Continue reading I don’t want her to ever hate herself.
