To the lady at the shop that came up to me a few weeks back and said 'your dong an amazing job' Thank you. Thank you so much. My baby was just 12 days old, it was my daughters 2nd day of school, the first day I had gotten three kids up, feed, dressed and out the door on my own. Whilst i was up and out I decided to tackle the super market for the few things I needed with my baby and three year old. Whilst I know this isn't the most amazing feat in the world, I was pretty darn proud of myself. Even when my baby woke up and started crying just as we got to the check out, I gave him a cuddle and managed to get through and to the car with minimal fuss. That was when this lady approached me in the car park, she was two people behind me at the check out, she just gave me a warm genuine smile and a simple, 'your doing an amazing job, its not easy getting out of the house with little ones' Unbeknown to this lady, this was the first of a lot of things for me with my new bubs, having suffered PND with my 2nd bub and being an absolute mess for months after her was born, still having little to no family support around. Her few kind words were more encouraging than she will ever know. It was so refreshing to be the recipient of a bit of kindness in the community, I know I will make an effort to pay this forward in the future.

❤ Im sure you are doing a great job! Its nice to hear someone tell you though. I was stoked a few weeks ago when an older lady came up to me and told me how well behaved my 2 & 3 year olds were in the middle of a busy food court.
