I have semi-recently ran across this fabulous blog, and I just can’t get enough. Robin, the author of Diary of a Yummy Mummy is a former prosecutor turned SAHM living in Boston. After finding her blog, I dove into the archives and read several of her past entries. It was immediately obvious to me how wild she is about her son. I’m not going to claim that I know Robin personally, and I’m not trying to pass judgement, but from what I gather, she is a wonderful example of somebody who hasn’t lost herself yet completely relishes her role as a mother.
She has recently begun IVF treatments and actually had 17 egglets retrieved just yesterday. In a recent post, she mentioned the fact that she felt like she was living on ”borrowed time” with her son before their 2nd child is born. She’s already planned trips and thought of ways to spend quality time with her Little Man before he gets a new sibling. I can completely relate to that feeling! However, it was apparent to me that her little guy gets plenty of quality time with his mum without any extra effort.
Anyway, after debating over several possible posts to feature, I picked one that I love for many reasons:

It has pretty much been snowing here non-stop for about 4 days (4 days!) We all know that a little snow
can’t stop us from going outside, but it can make getting around much (much, much, much, much) more difficult. Today I tried (emphasis on
tried) to make it to yoga but alas Mother Nature got the best of me. My husband was working which meant we were going to have to use our favored mode of transportation, the train. Our normal 20 minute commute to the gym turned into a 90 minute one leaving me with a choice, take the LM to the bookstore (which I promised we would do before class) or head directly to one of my favorite yoga classes. Leaving the house I was sure that we had plenty of time to to both.
This was before I practically ice skated my way to the T (which ended up getting stuck due to the ice.)
Pushing what looked like and empty stroller down the road.
My little man definitely enjoyed the ride despite the white out conditions.
One look at this little face and I knew that there was only one choice.
And we spent the next 2 hours watching the snow fall from inside Barnes andNoble. Hey, there’s always next weekend!
-I love that while Robin got herself, and her son bundled up, braved the cold, and headed out to go to Yoga, one of her favorite things, she put herself aside and took her son to the book store:). I love it! Besides, how could you resist that little face? Seriously!
I highly encourage all of you to head over to
Diary of a Yummy Mummy, Robin will have you laughing, crying, and leaving feeling inspired.
Thanks Robin!
