This week is about being honest. Not that I am not honest. I am very honest. But this week I am going to tell it like it is. I am going to be open and share my mum moments. Those moments a lot of mums do not speak about. Some might. I know I do at times, but not all the time. I wrote a post on saturday. One that had been aching to get out of me. This has started something, and it is all about being raw. Being honest with motherhood. Being supportive to other mums.
Blogs are beautiful. I wanted mine to be beautiful. It reflects my business and what is behind it. It is important it is beautiful. But right now what is important to me is supporting other mothers. This is a big deal for me. So this week I will share the not so beautiful moments in my home. My mum moments. Completely naked moments. Raw.
I might be lucky and have a good day, and I will share that too. I will do my best to publish the extra blog post each night, and share with you my day. It is time to not be scared and show the not so beautiful side of (my) parenting.
{thanks keely for the images. awesome photographer! I had to do a "pretty" pose, I was being too angry}!
Gorgeous photos :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Raw can be beautiful. You are beautiful as is your blog! That's slot of beauty for one person but it's true!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! they are fab. look forward to reading along ... :)
ReplyDeleteLove this Hayley! I read your post on Saturday with a sigh of relief. I too had had one of those dark weeks where I just couldn't muster the energy to play another game or make another trip to the park. I'm sure I raised my voice once or twice as well. I know that I had a few of those moments - Kenn likened it to a screaming banshee. How's that for honesty?!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is always beautiful, just as you are.

ReplyDeletewell done!
ReplyDeleteI am all for the beautiful blog but gee somedays it's soo hard to even think beautiful let alone be beautiful.
looking forward to it Hayley

I'm a great mum too. But on the days i know i could have done better at it i am so hard on myself. I really appreciate knowing that this is common, that having the hard times and being over it doesn't mean you don't love being a mum. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think I am my harshest critic! But I guess that also stems from thinking everyone else's lives are so perfect. That's why I try and talk about all the nitty gritty, it makes some parts of life less shitty (see that awesome rhyme right there?!). I'm all for sharing, the good, the bad, and the downright ugly.
ReplyDeleteLove your gorgeous shots. Go Keely. Clearly following in her talented mama's footsteps.x
These pictures of you are so cute! Good work Keely! I love the honesty of your blog. It really is a beautiful space xx
ReplyDeleteYES! Go Raw. Raw is beautiful. I'm joining you. x

ReplyDeletelove reading about the ups and downs - it makes me feel normal!
ReplyDeleteraw? depressing!! move on
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. Anonymous, may I just say that most mums like to support each other with the realisation that we are all human. Perhaps, move on and don't read. Most of us, are in fact superwomen, in a costume. The costume comes off and we are Raw. I'm quite sad that your comment doesn't support the community of mothers that we all are. Don't be 'that' mum. Don't be 'that' mum that criticises and pretends they have it all together, because the RAW truth is that we are all winging it and doing the best we can do. Hayley, don't let comments like this ever get you down. Your post is a far cry from depressing. Well done for publishing it. You are a supermum with wings ;)
