in my head : love story vs. viva la vida - jon schmidt ( GO LISTEN ON YOUTUBE NOW . )
my stance on children is that as long as they're not mine , i love them . children are cute when they're sleeping , don't have a wet diaper or playing with you for a maximum of two hours . after that they turn into evil shrieking gremlins who make you want to accidentally trip and fall down the stairs so you're temporarily passed out and it's someone else's duty to take over .
everyone tells me that this feeling i have ( of being anti-mother ) will pass when i've eventually " settled down and my biological clock starts to tick " . i tell them it won't happen because if i had to choose between huggies and chanel , i'll definitely pick the overpriced quilted bag anyday . " your priorities will change , " they say .
i think my problem is that i don't want to be a mom if i can't be a cool fashionable mom . you hear about cool godmothers and aunts , but a cool mom is about as rare as chanel on sale . my mom , she's pretty cool ; she let me play pretend while growing up , and now that i'm grown up , we still play pretend - she pretends that i'm not disobeying every single rule she spelled out and i pretend that she respects me as an adult .
i want to be the godmother / aunt that has a walk-in wardrobe filled with all things sparkly and floor length . i want to be the godmother / aunt that first introduces lagerfeld and ghesquiere as the only boys who'll never disappoint you . i want to be the godmother / aunt who the kids run to when " mama just doesn't understand ! " .
i didn't think you can be married and not instantly become dour and stale , but naomi + josh show me that it isn't hard because nothing really changes .
i didn't think that you can be married , have kids and still laugh at yourself , but team boo do it so effortlessly .
. . . and of course you can be married , have kids and still do the job you love ! if you haven't met sam and ashley , it's about time you did .

i didn't think that you can love fashion and still love your kids , but then super kawaii mama manages to run a household and does it dressed to the nines .

i feel so inspired just reading about these peep-os .
maybe it isn't impossible ?

KUDOS!
This is a great honest post. There are lots of moms who may lose themselves to motherhood, but it is not inevitable. Those who loved fashion before make an effort to stay fashionable, those who didn't...wear "mom jeans" ;) Those who were high on life before, teach their kids how to have fun with life, etc.
Thanks for the sweet compliment :) don't ever settle down on anyones time clock but your own. Once you do, life will evolve and you will find a whole new beautiful world to live for!
