So, I\u2019ve been away. I made a baby. What have you lot been up to?<\/p>\n

The baby I made (with the help of Things of Random Coolness<\/a>) is called Miro. The name itself is a blog post but I shall try to be succinct – scan looked like a Mir\u00f3 painting, bump became known as Miro, bambino HAD to be thus named.<\/p>\n

Miro likes:\u00a0Empty toilet rolls (or kitchen rolls\u2026he\u2019s not fussy,) crinkly paper, magazines, lampshades, maracas, Felt Mistress\u2019 Serge<\/a>, cats, France 24, baths, leaves, garlic, knees, rain, Gerald (a zebra pal,) and guitars.<\/p>\n

Miro dislikes: Smoking indoors (see aforementioned Serge ;) direct sunlight, boring activities, afternoon naps and fish pie (unless Dad makes it.)<\/p>\n

Life as I knew it has changed forever. Miro\u2019s birth was a drama involving chicken pox, snow blocked roads and the threat of a broken pelvis (mine not his.) The initial overwhelming sense of responsibility was something I had not anticipated in any way. I am now a Mum. There is NO off-switch; I will always be Miro\u2019s Mum. I likened it to a rollercoaster ride that you can never get off. Things of Random said that he hates roller coaster rides (take from that what you will!) Being Miro\u2019s Mum is complete joy. I have moments when I\u2019m sure he utterly hates me\u2026think Stewie and Lois on Family Guy\u2026and times when I haven\u2019t a clue what I\u2019m doing. The one constant is the all-encompassing sense of love that creeps up on you when you least expect it.<\/p>\n

A new world of shopping has also opened up to me; that of little boy\u2019s clothes. I spend more time shopping for him than I do for myself (completely unheard of in 2010.) Those on mainland Europe seem to have got the cool clothing concept down to a tee. Bobo Choses<\/a>, Mini Rodini<\/a> and Mini-a-ture<\/a> have provided some stellar outfits for Mr. Miro (more baby brand blogging to follow shortly.)<\/p>\n

I\u2019m trying to get back on the blogging wagon. I welcome any suggestions and hope to be up in London soon, to bother my fellow blogger friends. Remember I\u2019m on Twitter too – @FashionCoolness<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
