Life as a woman and as a mother can be hectic and chaotic. We are often juggling our work lives alongside pregnancy, having small children, and trying to balance our needs as mothers with that of our children’s. It can be difficult to know how best to retain a sense of self and sanity and so we’ve put together this guide of just a few essential items that can help you find your balance.
Clothes That Grow With Your Child
Children are notorious for growing out of their clothes within months. The stress and struggle of keeping their wardrobes organised and ensuring you have the correct sizes for them is just another thing on the ‘mother list’ that we must manage.
Dungarees are great for children, they are durable, adjustable, well-made and can be dressed to suit every season. Often boy’s dungarees and girl’s dungarees have poppers for nappy changing too. You can even get boy’s dungarees and girls dungarees that are made to grow with your child!
Dotty dungarees pride themselves on their practical, adaptable, range of dungarees that combine a cute style with a beautiful soft fabric. Their range of boy’s and girl’s dungarees feature generous turn-ups which can unfolded to grow with your child, meaning less waste, less stress, and a product that truly lasts.
Dotty Dungarees’ denim dungarees are lined with a soft combed cotton jersey and all their range are made with comfort and durability in mind. As well as being practical these dungarees come in a range of bright colours, fabrics and prints as alongside traditional denim and corduroy versions
A Gorgeous Laptop Bag
We all know that a good bag can really make you feel in control of your life. As working women, it is important that we find a bag that suits our personality as well as our functional needs. Laptop bags don’t have to be dull rectangular grey pieces resembling briefcases.
It is now possible to purchase a beautiful ladies laptop bag that has the space for all your important work items but that also looks like a regular beautiful handbag. Kerikit’s ladies laptop bags are designed to fit standard laptops but their range also includes bags designed for iPads or tablets.
Kerikit offer a wide range of styles, sizes and finished that are perfect for everyday use. Kerikit’s ladies laptop bags are designed with practicality and fashion in mind, they come with the pockets and pouches you need for your work equipment but with the design of an everyday handbag. This dual-purpose approach makes these bags a very worthwhile investment.
You can get backpack-style ladies laptop bags as well as handbag style and even cross-body style bags. Take the time to treat yourself to a work bag that makes you feel ready to face the world.
A Luxurious Changing Bag
Baby changing bags often follow a similar style or design. They are usually a simple shape, made of wipe clean materials and often are designed to match your child’s pushchair – rather than your own individual style.
Treating yourself to a stylish leather changing bag can help make you feel a little bit more special and a little bit more yourself in your otherwise child-saturated world. Leather changing bags still come with all the necessary pockets and pouches, but they look and feel like a luxury handbag.
Kerikit have a range of styles and designs that are based on women’s fashion and the preferences of the mother rather than having a baby-based style.
Self-Care Oils And Balms
Often, we neglect our own needs once we become a mother and find ourselves buying lots of products for our beautiful babies but forgetting to take care of ourselves and our own needs. Our self-care can start during pregnancy. Ensuring you have a good self-care regime during pregnancy will give you a good foundation for continuing the routine after the birth.
One type of oil that is often overlooked in self-care is perineum massage oil. Pregnancy and labour can be hard on your perineum and cause tears and cuts. Using perineum massage oil during pregnancy and after the birth can help keep your perineum supple and reduce the risk of cuts and grazes as well as help healing afterwards.
Down Below, the perineum massage oil from Motherly Love, is a midwife-created product made using 100% natural omega oils with added vitamin E. The product is unscented and has a chemical structure that is like your skin’s natural structure making it safe to use in sensitive areas. By massaging perineum massage oil into your perineum 2-3 times a week from the 34th week of pregnancy you can significantly reduce any trauma or tears that may occur during labour and delivery, giving you one less thing to worry about.
