Welcome to Muslin Mummy

Muslin Mummy here! That's muslin, a type of cloth. Muslins are about the most useful things you can use when you own an infant. Those little things can dribble I tell you. Dribble like you can't believe. Muslins help wipe up the dribble. And the puke. Yep, gone are the elegant pre-child days of swanning around in fancy clothes from Monsoon......'cause lemme tell you, with a muslin draped over your shoulder, even the most elegant of ball-gowns are brought right down. So you may as well get used to just wearing something comfortable. You ain't gonna look snazz for while yet. If you get it just right, you might find that those who aren't in the know, might mistake your muslin for the latest fashion.....a suave neck-kerchief perchance......but then, the little puke stains on your top give it away. :( Still, you can cover that up with the muslin and keep on wearing the same top for the rest of the day! See, told you they were useful. You'll find them in every room in our home. Draped over the sofa, stashed by the bed, hanging over the cot, on a hook in the kitchen.....and sliding off the towel rail in the bathroom. I think I left one on the floor of the hallway a day or two ago, but I can't seem to find it now....

So here I am, on maternity leave, and I'm going to chart some of the ups and downs of being a Muslin Mummy.....and being attached to an infant, basically 24/7....and a muslin. 'Cause where there's a tot, there's a muslin. That's for sure.
