The weekend, that is!

We had a great start yesterday – watching our very first play together, the little man & I coupled with a girlfriend and her adorable little one. It was amusing watching their amusement and experiencing their first theatre experience!

Then this morning kicked off on a grumpy note with everything possibly going wrong, going wrong! I felt awful for screaming at my son for wanting the phone while I was desperately on call waiting for 55 minutes and counting, hoping for someone to address an issue I had. Thankfully the anguish disappeared shortly after…phew! and my first half of the weekend didn’t seem so bad after all. I’m thankful. My son wasn’t mad at me for screaming a string of “no!” at him earlier and ended up having what I would assume as a really great day judging by the incessant giggles and chatter that was going on non-stop during our 1.5 hr road trip followed by endless hugs and kisses and joyful screams.

Sometimes I think I need to let go more and embrace what’s beyond my control. What about you?

Have an awesome weekend. xx

Hello, I’m Natty

Hey there, and welcome!

I’m Natty – a full time working mom in the media industry, and one who mom-guilts a fair bit. I am known for throwing ridiculously last minute yet spectacular (by my standards) birthday parties for my kids, hunting down places to entertain the kids with, and sometimes advice my fellow parenting bloggers and marketers on advertising rates and formats with my media hat.

When I’m not snoozing on any of my kids’ bed while winding them down for bedtime, I’m here blogging about parenthood, family travels, last minute party preps and broaching ‘usually unspoken’ topics which I believe needs to be shared more of – such as fertility challenges, the ups and downs of marriage life, learning how to exercise self-compassion, parenting truths, and adulting (the real 30-something sort, not the millennial’s definition).

I’m no pinterest or helicopter mom, so don’t expect stylised photos and curated stories in this space.

Also, if you have any party-related questions like where I ordered that gorgeous chiffon birthday cake from, you can start by reading ‘Diary of a Party Mum’ page. Else, feel free to drop me a note, query or connect with me on Instagram @so.nattyb or email me at sonattyb@gmail.com
