Should stay away from internet!

Really is it stress or excitement or both

I should stop surfing, I mean it!

On how hard it is to keep a blog and a few news

I knew when I started my blog that I wouldn't be very regular, knowing my track record at keeping a personal diary. But it has even been harder with motherhood and my very demanding baby.

I so admire these mummy bloggers on the web, who seem to juggle with cooking fantastic food, decorating their house, crafting and having their own business. How I wish I could be all this but no ... the reality is that for Elya's first year in this world, I have been all attention and care to her.

Crafting has proved to be almost impossible, especially since I was breastfeeding on demand and I had a baby that would only nap, for 20 minutes. Everything that I started had to be stopped. And now with our very mobile little girl, I won't even think of jewellery making - with all the beads rolling around (yes, I am a messy crafter)

Cooking is ok, as I have found a solution - cooking quick easy meals in the mornings while Elya is playing or reading and reserving special meals for the weekend, when hubby is at home.

Decorating has been mainly arranging our furniture in a way that all of us can enjoy being together, my biggest pride being setting up Elya's room in a cosy and bright way, especially since there is no natural light in her room - that's the great minus point in our new house (pretty on the outside but badly designed in the inside)

Ok I'll stop taking excuses for non blogging, because while laziness hah and lack of time and procrastination have kept me away from my blog, I have been busy browsing the many inspiring blogs that are out there - with Elya on my lap, watching Barbapapa, Oui oui in a half opened window!

These blog have inspired me so much that I decided to take an interior designer course online. Now that Elya is more independant and will start nursery school soon, it gives me some time to take on something that I have always wished to do but did not dare beacuse of ... fear? not knowing really what job will await for me in Mauritius? Well not anymore, let's go for it!

So does this mean I will be even less blogging?
