What About This For Funny Motherhood?!

Funny motherhood is the flip side of stressful motherhood! Those little things that sometimes press our buttons, can be funny when looked at from a different perspective.

Here's a funny video that we took when stuck in Paris following our holiday to Malta. The Icelandic volcanic eruption and subsequent ash cloud had grounded most of Europe's air traffic, but we managed to get as far as Barcelona, Spain. It took us five days to get through to Paris, and another two to get home to the UK. We could have been seriously stressed and negative, but we decided to take a positive approach. Hope this bit of fun makes you smile!

I thought this was really funny, and revealing of so many of the realities of motherhood!
