How did we get here?

I had one of those 'how did we get here?' moments the other day and it could make me cry just thinking about it.

Before we get to that story...

Have you checked out my new e-book, Nutrition for Postpartum Playbook?

Now onto the story

My seven year old daughter is my mini-me in many ways. She loves to read, she loves to sing and she is fascinated by the movies I grew up watching.

I have been itching to introduce her to the mystical world of Narnia, one of my favourite set of movies growing up (I think I only read The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and not any of the other C.S Lewis novels, so they are still on my reading list).

I was just waiting for the right age to introduce it to her and lo and behold, we had a couple of hours without any of the other kids around the other day, to watch it together.

It is always so magical getting to relive your childhood through your child's eyes.

While we watched the movie, she couldn't wait for what happened next and asked questions every two minutes. It was so sweet!

After we watched it together, I asked her how she found it. She responded by saying 'I liked it, but I didn't like it.' I think she found some parts scary, even though I skipped a lot of those scenes.

It's wild to look back over the last seven years of my motherhood journey from when I nursed her to sleep at just one week old, to now, introducing her to the world of Narnia at age seven.

Time is such a funny thing. The days feel long sometimes, but the years are but a blip in time.

So, for the mamas in the thick of raising your first or second baby, one day you'll be watching your favourite childhood movie with them, and think to yourself, 'how did we get here?'
