    Diaries of a New Mom – What’s in my Hospital Bag?

    January 9, 2019 /

    Initially, I thought to myself that this process of the birth journey would probably be the simplest….and not quite one of my biggest missions in my third trimester!

About me

Hi!😊

I’m Tash, a first time single mama to my little Malakhi Joel and an Occupational Therapist.

From OT to Mamahood and the little adventures in between, this space is inspired by my son, & has developed from my love for writing that has now become a passion for the empowering journey of storytelling.

Nothing like family, could not have done it without you ❤️

Wow, this was not the post I had planned for the 1st December & I'm sure you were expecting something a little more Christmassy....BUT Christmas is really a season of celebration and yesterday was just too amazing not to share anything. Yesterday marked the OFFICIAL start of a movement with such incredible women of strength coming together to encourage and empower one another.
.

I'm still so in awe at God's goodness, at all He's provided and at His powerful plan for our lives! A year ago, I was in a place where my pain kept me imprisoned & vulnerable. A year later, after lots of behind the scenes emotions that seemed impossible to get through, I got to share some of my story. I watched that same pain transform into strength, but most of all, I had the privilege of watching other amazing women do the same and inspire and support each other using their own voice. It's just so indescribable! .

I NEED to say thank you to every single person who believed in this organisation before the actual event and the pictures to show. Your messages of support and prayers are truly appreciated!

A huge thank you to my family and main support for helping me SO much! To my good friend @crystalleens for staying by my side and truly supporting my journey. 
Thank you to every woman who attended yesterday! It was such an amazing privilege to personally meet each one of you! Thank you for celebrating @singlemomsandbeyond! 
Our speakers @the_legalmom @the.fox.mom who inspired us with such graceful, yet powerful messages! 
Thank you @ziara_beauty for spoiling our moms yesterday. 
Thank you to our super talented photographer and videographer 
@its_nicki_jo @lenschangerphotography
Aaaaand A MASSIVE THANK YOU to all our incredible 
Sponsors for supporting our moms!! I'm so excited for 2020 and all that will come from @singlemomsandbeyond! 📸 : @nickijo.photography
November literally flew by in a flash and my little guy hit the double digit months today, yoooh my heart. 
Double the celebration today, double the gratitude! Happy Thanksgiving day too! Yes, we've adopted this celebration for the past couple years as an extra family day - tailored to the Williams Bunch of course!

till it's Christmas and OMGosh, I am super emotional about our first Christmas together.
.

It's like when you're younger, you dream about what life would be like when you're a mother, how you'll create special traditions and family memories with your children (or am I the only one who planned her entire life out 😬🙈)
.

And then, life happens and you're a mother and your little boy's first Christmas is right around the corner.
.

My picture will be a lot different to what I had initially envisioned as a young girl, which gives me so much of mixed feelings! But one thing I know for sure, regardless of how the picture changes, this will be the beginning of some special Christmas traditions and a whooole lot of memories to laugh and cry and love on. My M is truly my greatest gift and there is always so much to be thankful for, no matter the form family may take. .

Thank you Jesus for this little boy's life. Despite being thrown life threatening complications during pregnancy, being born a month before his due date and a predicted host of complications that comes with late prem babies, including delayed milestones, infections, other health issues and ADHD, despite it all, we are blessed to say the very least! M has grown so Beautifully and I'm incredibly grateful that we get to work through life together one day at a time. •

Did you know Week 34 - 37 (late prem) is just as crucial for baby's final growth and development, especially for brain capacity and lung development? And yet 1 in 7 babies are born too soon. •

Today my heart and soul goes out to every momma who's little one was born too soon. The one's still fighting, the one's who have fought. Mamas, I want to honour you and salute you - YOU ARE SO FULL OF STRENGTH AND COURAGE. Keep on keeping on!

Nunuki Mini Review • | •

This post is long overdue! 
As you know, we've been trying and testing the @nunukiforlittlehumans sunscreen and insect repellent samples that were kindly sent to us by the Nunuki Team.
•

I'm so happy to announce that M has not had any reaction, it has been so gentle and soothing on his skin, that we had to upgrade to the full size bottle. 🙌
•

To be honest I first fell in love with the packaging and now M's skin agrees too, its a win-win. Each product has it's own little character that provides an opportunity to help teach your little one all about safety awareness and other important life skills •

Association is a great memory builder •

The products itself all have natural active ingredients.
The insect repellent contains lemon grass citronella (smells amazing too!)
The suncreen should be applied every 2 hours.
•

All products are dermatology tested and approved for sensitive skin....M now approves too! (I've even been using it on myself too) 😉
Aaaaaand another win -  these were all creatively thought up by a local mama with such a beautiful heart. Her heart for wanting the very best for our little ones really reflects through this product range.
•

We're so ready for this summer! 😄
Have you tried Nunuki yet? •

Take time to be [S]till. 
Hear yourself, hear your [T]houghts, take a moment to grow through some of the hard stuff
[O]pt out one negative default thinking pattern and [P]ause to replace it.

Take your moment and fill your cup! •

When's the best time for you to take YOUR moment? Early morning, late evening or somehwere in between?
