The Proposal To My Fiancé

It all started from a epiphany I had while coming home from work, i just knew in my mind that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with mics. We had only been together for a year and a half and were expecting a baby as well. I was scared she was going to say no as it might have been too soon.

So when i got back to mics mums house I told her about my plan to propose. I will never forget how her face changed into shock and excitement. She told me about when she was proposed to and it was around the same time as me and mics. That gave me the confidence to go ahead with buying a ring.

When I bought the ring I felt like I wanted to burst with excitement but then I had to think how am I going to ask her. I thought of so many elaborate ways to do it. But I knew we were going on holiday to Benidorm for my first time and it felt right to do it there.

I brought the ring and I showed it to mics parents and told them of how I wanted to propose and they were both really pleased with the idea and the ring.

I struggled to keep it to myself for all that time. The night before her parents flew out I gave the ring to mum to take with her as we were flying out a couple of days after them. By then i knew exactly where I wanted to do it as I remembered seeing a courtyard overlooking the sea in their holiday videos.

The plan was set.

Finally the day came and me, mics and the family decided to go for a walk along the beach front to take in some sights and I told mum to make sure to bring the ring as I felt ready to do this. So as we made our way along the beach front we came to the courtyard that i wanted to propose from.

I was on the lower part of the courtyard when i saw mum on the stairs. She asked do i want to do it now and i said yes as mics was seated on the upper courtyard. I told mum to leave with dad and mics sister and we will catch up after them. I stayed on the stairs to calm my nerves when dad came down and I told him the plan as well. When i came up on the courtyard mics was sitting unaware of what was about to happen next. I sat next to her and my heart rate just accelerated. I said to mics how beautiful the setting was and how much i loved her.
Mics still didnt have any idea where i was going with this and before she could I pulled out the ring and got on one knee and asked her to marry me.

Mics immediately started crying and it took a few seconds for her to accept. There were people nearby who witnessed this and were saying congratulations to us.

I feel so accomplished doing that and when we came down to meet the family they were all standing there awaiting the good news. There were tears and happiness in that moment and if i had the chance to do it again I would do without question.

Roll on our wedding date June 2020

Remember: You Are A Couple As Well As Parents

At the beginning of October, James and I had a weekend away in Manchester to celebrate our 3rd anniversary. It was so lovely to have some quality time together. We shopped, went out to eat and even played Junkyard Golf! If you have never been, I highly recommend you do as it's a great laugh. And it was whilst we was away that I realised the last time me and James had spent a night away together was 18 months ago when Mayarna was 1 month old. That's a very long time and it got me thinking, when you become parents, you become so wrapped up in parenthood that you start to neglect time as a couple. Yes, your responsibilities change. But that doesn't mean you can't keep the spark going in your relationship. You don't have to do anything expensive or fancy. Something as simple as going out for a meal, going to the cinema or going for a drink. Just being with your partner, having adult conversation and keeping that spark is great for your relationship. -

New Home, New Life

Moving home is never easy and especially when you have a 4 month old baby in tow. After spending the last few weeks looking for our new home,we were split between the final two. We eventually decided on the house we liked. We made an application to the estate agents and when we were approved, I felt ecstatic! The day came for the move and I had butterflies in my stomach and questions rolling in my head such as “will may may settle here?” “is it going to be too far to get to work? “ But I knew that this was for the best. Me, mics and her parents started packing. On the day, the removal men called us while we was at the estate agents, saying they were outside the house. They were two hours early! So we made our way to the house and quickly helped to finish the last of the packing and stored it into the back of the van. When we got to the house it was a great feeling to unpack our stuff into our new home. It is so refreshing to know now that May-May has more space to play and a

New Year, New Mum

MummyBou is back! Happy New Year everyone! Surely it's time to stop saying that now right? It's been a while since I blogged but I had to take a break, not only from my blog but from my social media too. Sometimes we have to take a break, refresh, re-evaluate our situations and come back stronger. See where changes can be made, what you need to stop doing and what you can do to improve your situation. That's what I did. I went on holiday with my family and had a well deserved 10 day break. When I got back, I sat down with OJ and brainstormed about our future; business and personal. We celebrated our first Christmas as a family and wedding plans are in full effect. May-May's development has been beautiful to watch. She hates sand, has 2 teeth and loves to dance. But I will explain all this in upcoming blogs. I will be blogging every 2 weeks, so ensure to keep an eye out on my Instagram and Facebook . -x- Michaela -x-
