I'm writing this blog from my bed. I've always had a very healthy relationship with it. I absolutely love my sleep and so does The Actor.
To accompany this post I'm using some pictures of people in some rather fabulous beds I've collected. I've used a picture of someone reading the paper - I used to read tons of papers an magazines but I don't have time anymore. I don't know how everyone fits everything in these days. I think I need a course in time management!
Rita Hayworth
Ava Gardner
I have plenty of plans and things I want to do but I don't know whether it's humanly possible to fit them all in. I know it will be a tough couple of years economically so I have to cut down on uneccessary spending. I've bought less than ever over the last year and I'm enjoying not wasting money like I used to. I'm influenced by lots of my blogging friends with their thrifty ways.
Kim Novak
I will have to re-start my health kick as that never quite got going. The Wii Fit STILL hasn't been switched on. I'll feel guilty if I don't give that a good go as The Actor bought it for me for Christmas knowing that I would never get myself to a gym. It's hooked up to the telly in the bedroom so I can literally fall out of bed and use it, if I felt so inclined. Unfortunately I completely forget about it and it doesn't even enter my head!
Rita Hayworth
The plan to juice fruit and vegetables every day is just about on target, in fact it's the only thing I've actually stuck to! The sheer volume of fresh produce it requires is quite astounding but I must stick to it as I feel so much better for it. It really is the easiest way to get your five a day.
Joan Crawford
I choose not to have a full time job anymore because I love to have my freedom. This means I earn a lot less than I used to but I choose freedom over money all day long.
Mae West
I'm working with Mrs Jones again which I love, this is something that I know will last a very long time. There are plenty of opportunities and we have some great things coming up. Plus she's the most brilliant and hilarious person to work with.
Catherine Deneuve
I really love doing my blog and interviewing people for LOVE magazine. Doing the blog is quite a commitment (and very addictive!). Keeping up with everyone takes a lot more time than I ever thought it would but it's very rewarding.
Mae West
The time and money it takes just to keep myself looking how I want is astounding! And I've not even had botox yet! I'm lucky I get sent lovely products to try as I couldn't afford them otherwise. Luckily I've collected so many clothes over the years so there really isn't much I need. I have a small budget for clothes each month now, I know I have my moments on Ebay when I get carried away but I still spend very little on each piece.

Laetitia Casta as Mae West
There are so many books I want to read and films I want to see. And lots of places I'd love to travel to.
Photography by Alfred Eisenstaedt
Sophia Loren and Carlo Ponti
There's so much more I want to do with my gorgeous boyfriend, The Actor, who I absolutely adore.
The royal bedroom in the hall of Don Quixote, The Palace of Quelez, Portugal. How mental is that?
I have the best friends in the world and it's so hard to find the time to see as much of them as I'd like.
Britt Ekland
I'm 42 now so if I ever wanted to have a baby I only have a very short time left. It's not been on my agenda all these years and I honestly don't know if I could do it. No matter what anyone says about people having them late I think it's so much harder as your life is your own and it would be a massive imposition. I have utmost respect for everyone who does it, but where the hell do you find the time? I have enough trouble producing myself in the morning! And when would I sleep?!
Photography by Mario Testino
Kate Moss
So with keeping my relationship with The Actor and all my friends, (thinking about) exercise, trying to keep myself looking good, working, blogging, paying bills, running errands, keeping the house together, going out, staying in... where would I find the time to do anything else?
I know I've done tons of things in my life and had the most brilliant times... but there's still the question - Is it really possible to have it all? xxx

very nice post I love it!

Darl, NO-ONE is as un-maternal as me! It was a real toss-up for me whether I kept my child or not, even after she was born. I was literally on the streets when pregnant, thrown out and beaten up and doing all sorts of naughty things. I just didn't think I could ever be in the right place, physically or mentally, to have a child. It took me a long time to bond with her but now she's my everything. When a child is your own s/he is endlessly fascinating, you can watch their face all day. It's nothing like looking at other people's children.
Sorry to rave on btw! Just ask yourself if you want to be alone for the rest of your life and have no-one to leave anything to when you die. I wasn't sure, so I took the plunge and am SOOOO glad I did. The only awful time is toddler age when they touch everything but kids are very flexible & you train them to suit yourself too, my little VB is 3 now and she sleeps in until past 9am and has been up with me at 5am every Saturday for garage sales since she was 3 months old. It can be done!
Absolutely lovely post. I adore you. Struggling with the job front is my biggest burden right now since relocating from London to Thailand for love. But eh...I imagine it is still possible to have it all somehow. :)
You should have one. Those fine genes need to be passed on. As I'm sure you can imagine this is not something I say often. If ever.
Hi Christina - this is why I like blogging so much. I read this and get this flush of fondness for you even though we have never met! In my life I just don't meet many people like you so it's a breath of fresh air. Do you feel different to everyone else who blogs?! I think this little life audit you have done is great; you know what you like and what you don't and it's all fabulous along the way. You and your 'Actor' sound very happy and you come across as being very settled and at one with the life you lead. There is no angst and that is so nice to see. So - lovely Christina - long may it last! Lou xx
I don't think it's possible to have it all, but it can be possible to have all you want! I can so relate to this post, although I'm a bit younger than you and in a very different stage of my life, but being on myself, choosing freedom over money and all that - I share those feelings :)
Lovely post this is and the pictures are fabulous :) x
great post, and I love the pics!
to keep fit AND stay in bed, you should just 'exercise' like Mae West and the dumbbells!
after reading your post, I just want leave work and curl back into bed. You're right to make the most of the free time you have, it's important to take care of yourself!
have a good Monday
Gosh Christina great post but what a question ! well i certainly couldnt have accomplished a fraction of my life if I had had children ! Even with a nanny! if you have a child its a full time commitment then the work suffers or you come to terms with doing less or something different which is less time consumming ??? mmmmI think you will know if you want to make that commitment. LOve Fay xxx
Life would be so much easier if we didn't have to sleep!
What a great post, Christina. It is possible to have it all but it depends on what you want. I'm happy in my relationship and have never wanted much, just to be happy, which I am. My life wouldn't be richer with a wardrobe full of designer gear, pots of cash or a baby.
Kitty's reply was fantastic and her baby, VB, is the most beautiful child ever but I know she works damned hard and she's up at stupid o'clock to do fairs and such like, not the easiest choice for bed lovers like us. xxx
PS Britt's my favourite image.
I didn't want children in my twenties, then I met my husband and my attitude changed. I had my son at 31, and yes, it was not easy, but it was wonderful at the same time. My son has autism, so in some ways it is been more challenging than for my friends (his speech is affected and it is only now, after 5.5 years, possible to have something akin to a conversation with him), but there are some great moments. I do think you can have a perfectly happy and fulfilling life without children, and only you know what is right for you.
Thank you for a great post, I really enjoy reading your blog (and pictures, too).
I honestly wish we could have it all but it just doesnt happen. Especially now with the current economic climate, I'd love to just start a new career, I love my job just not the office politics! And were does time go, I don't have children either (unfortunately never been blessed) but I never have enough time in the day to do the things I want or need. xx PS fabulous pictures!
I loved reading this - and it made me feel - just like Lou said above - even more fond of you, if that is possible!! You are a good person Christina.
Good to write it all out sometimes I think. Having read your blog for some time now, I think you seem to have a great balance in your life. I don't personally know if anyone has it all - experience has told me that sometimes it just seems that way!! Life is a balancing act for sure - I did feel like I want to do so much and have no idea how it will fit it in - or afford it all! But better to want to do a million things and still realise there is more out there than to never open your eyes though I always think.
As for children - well, I always knew I wanted them and mine are by far the best thing in my life. And also so challenging - being the best parent you can be is hard, most days I feel I haven't done well enough!! And I had mine in my mid 30's.....a friend of mine is pregnant at 42. It's her sixth. SIXTH!!!!! Eeep!!!! Two is my limit altho I always say I might have had more if I had started younger - my husband and I are both the eldest of 3 children.
You always seem very wise so I am sure you know what is right for you.
Love all the bed photos....my daughter asked me the other day where my favourite place in the world was and I said bed :)
Anyway, enough about me, time for me to shut up!!
I enjoyed reading this post though :) xx
Dear Christina, Perhaps the question we should all ask ourselves is 'Do you have what you need?' If one can answer that in the affirmative then the rest is a luxury.
Wow Christina I wasn't expecting that. I don't think anyone can advise you on the children issue - I wonder if people who don't have them look back with regrets in later life. My husband says it is about footprints in the sand, I think I was just lucky that I had a very strong broody feeling as soon as I was married so the only decision for me was about when we could afford to have a baby - answer never, so we were cash poor for a few years. One thing though - your genes seem well worth passing on xxx
If I had your wonderful lifestyle I'd find it very difficult to give it up for all the upheaval that a baby would naturally cause. Other than than I won't really comment because I know how much I hate it when people try and convince me that I'll change my mind about not wanting kids.
Life sounds so exciting for you at the moment. Did you make holiday plans with The Actor?
Christina, what a wonderful post.
I think that as soon as we stop worrying about having it all, things fall into place and we get what we want...or maybe what is good for us.
You have a lovely home, a beautiful wardrobe, an intersting job, fascinating friends and a magnificent man to love...I'd say that you kind of have it all!
Hi Christina
I don't think it is possible to have it all, any more than it is possible to have straight hair and curly hair and be tall and short at the same time. There are different kinds of beauty the same as there are different lives, and all you can do is work out what is most important to you and be content with those things. You seem to have already made those kinds of decisions, but the children thing is a whole other thing isn't it. I'm still not at all sure about it myself, but when I see friends and family who have had kids it seems to have made them hugely happy and really enriched their lives. I would never advise anyone what to do in such a personal decision, but I do think you shouldn't be scared by the idea of it being too hard. Perhaps in a way having a child would allow you to concentrate on the things you have realised you love - being at home, spending time with the actor, and enjoying the little things like food, films and friends. As you know from the gorgeous Fee and George, having a wee one doesn't mean you can't enjoy all those vital things as much as you do now xx
Dear Christina,
Such gorgeous beds and most from an era of glamour and silk sheets and luxury !!!!
Thanks so much for coming over to see me. I loved reading your post. As one gets older, we realise that it's not always the materialistic things that matter very much. As long as we are happy and healthy and have things to do, I think that we can be content. It's lovely and refreshing to hear you 'telling it how it is' in your life. It's a great thing to do as it really helps others to know that they are not the only ones with things to deal with......we all have things to deal with !!
I love Barnsbury. Our friend's daughter has a flat there .....we all had lunch first then went to have a nose around her flat !! I adore all of the Georgian houses. We often have lunch out on a Sunday with our friends.....sometimes one on the Green in Clerkenwell or, we go out nearer our home in Hertfordshire. Our son and his wife live in London and our daughter in Crouch End so there are so many places to eat wherever we go !! We will have to try the one that you suggested.
The ' having children thing' I wouldn't worry about too much. You will know if you want a baby and, I believe that it's never too late !!Take care and take heart.....I am 60 tomorrow and about to become a Grandmother .....where did the years go ?!!
Oh, and the buying the clothes thing.....I have a thing about All Saints.....I can't stop buying their clothes but, last month I said to myself that I don't need anymore clothes. I have plenty.....mind you, I can't promise that I won't venture onto their site within the next hour....I think that I'm a lost cause !! XXXX
I've just found your blog, and what a first post to read! Really thought provoking.
This was really thoughtful and thought provoking. I think it is about choices rather than compromises. I am wondering about children and think that choice means some things would have to happen, but only because of how I would want to have children, the child/ren in question would not dictate those choices being made, I would.
An yes. Bed is the best place in the whole world. I adore my bed. Truly.
Yes, one can probably have it all.
Just not all at once.
But don't ask me.
I chose dogs over children!
Hi Christina-what an amazingly open, frank and thought provoking post. You have a lovely fulfilled lifestyle and its great you are happy now. Its so easy to constantly chase what we don't have and not appreciate what we have. I try and be thankful for what I have, who I have in my life and I must say I'm happy with the lifestyle I have. Wishing you well on your decision making regarding having children, only you and the Actor now what's right for you both xxx
Great post, I get soo overwhelmed sometimes too. It is difficult to fathom how everything you want to happen in your life is going to plan out, well, it is for me!
(ps check out www.shutterbean.com for juicing ideas)
What a wonderful post! I'm just 2 years younger than you and obviously have had to think about the same issue, although I will say that my mum had my youngest sister at 42. We were all a bit shocked by that as she'd been looking forward to her freedom after her eldest kids left home! So I could have a couple of years left yet to ponder it! I'll be honest though and say I really don't see it for myself. Only you can know what's right for you xx
You have it all, if you have yourself, and YOU as you best friend.
I have chosen freedom over money all my life.
Mil besos guapa.

Hi Christina.
Talking of not having time to do everything, its been ages since I've had time to catch up on my favourite blogs.
Depends what you define as having it all I guess. I think sometimes it's better to accept that we can't do all the things at once or be all things to all people. And by the way, from the sounds of things you're doing just great. I'm with you on the loving what you do over doing something else for more money and less freedom. I have the same thoughts and sometimes think more money to spend on socialising and shopping would be good but then I look at all the great experiences I've had since doing what I do. Never mind the satisfaction that comes from doing something you're passionate about. Love all your gorgeous bed pics - fabulous!
Stay well and happy! xx
LOVE This post, it's so up my alley! I collect shots of beds too, and most of these I haven't seen. Great eye candy!
Christina, I always think your life sounds fabulous - you have a gorgeous partner, a beautiful house, lovely friends, lots of exciting stuff to do and the freedom to do it. I chose to work part-time (even though I can't really afford to) because I just wanted the space to be more creative and as I've never been driven by money, it works for me. I agree with all the other comments about children - you and The Actor will know if & when you're ready.
And my favourite picture is the first Rita Hayworth. Gorgeous.
Dear Christina,
Such an honest posting! I have to look at life from a one-day-at-a-time perspective or it overwhelms me - both looking back or forward. Some days we seem to have it all and other days less so! Most of all I want to be grateful for what has happened, keep an image in my mind of who I want to be and aim to be that person! Only you can know what it right for you. January seemed to be just right for you! Thanks again for keeping our minds busy and for sharing beautiful images.
Love Sophia.
Having raised three daughters, I now know that I, for one, would not take on a child in my early 40s.
I finally got around to making your fantastic juice recipe. It is most excellent and so very green!
Wonderful post and brilliant question. Yes you can have it all but you do compromise but not all the time. It is just different and all I can say is if you are asking the question then....
I think you have to ask your true north what you want and what you want as a couple because that is the deciding factor not you or us - what do you both want (you & actor)
Nothing is perfect and sometimes juggling kids and work is hard but then they do hilarious things like the petit garcon today he had my iphone to keep him quiet in the car and so he didn't notice I was not playing Justin frigging Bieber and he somehow got on to twitter cos when I got my phone back I noticed I'd tweeted and he it was his name! He did his first tweet..
Just be true to yourself xxx
I just popped back to read the replies - so many!!! It was a great post from you.
I have pondering this since I read your post this morning...the baby issue I mean. I was thinking that if you don't think of babies and automatically think "no way", then maybe that's a yes, you do want them. On the other hand, maybe the fact that you haven't consciously thought of having one so far, means you are more than happy as you are.
Not really helping am I!!
What does Mrs Jones think? I bet she thinks you'd make a great mother :) xx
Darling! you are beyond! Lets meet soon... mind you it's fashion week soon so thats a date! xxxxxxx
Such classic images of the most stunning women, love it!!
Christina, Do come and join my Amazing Giveaway from Splenderosa!

I know what you mean - I feel like I struggle to fit everything in that I want to do around working, staying fit, cooking, spending time with the boyfriend and everything else that needs to be done to keep the wheels of life turning. I've been thinking about working 4 days a week for a while - less money sure, but more freedom. Sounds amazing!
How I will manage with children just baffles me! x
Dear All, thank you so much for your wonderful replies, I shall try my best to answer them individually, love C xx
Dear Tatiana, you're lovely - I must work out how to translate your blog so I can read it! xx
Dear Kitty, I love your positivity and it's brilliant you made it work for you. I have had far too much time to think about it, I know there are good and bad things - I would find the toddler bit hideous and I need to work out if I am physically and mentally able to do it xx
Dear Lela, I think it's amazing that you have relocated for love and I wish you every happiness, I'm sure it will all come together for you. How fabulous to be living in Thailand! xx
Dear HOBAC, thank you... and yes coming from you it does have more resonance xx
Dear Lou, that's really lovely! We are very happy but he is at the stage he where he'd like one and I feel I'm too old to start now. I need to decide if I can take the plunge! xx
Dear Christine, I feel I do have everything I want and yes you are right not to choose money - it will always make you happier xx
Dear Lo, I think exercising like Mae West would be marvellous - maybe I could get some ankle weights and do my legs at the same time! xx
Dear Fay, I totally understand and I agree with you that you can't accomplish so much for yourself with a child. I love my freedom too much - even if it's just to watch a film or read a book, it's great to have time to yourself xx
Dear Perdita, I love your answer - I spent the last twenty years of my life having as little sleep as possible. I think my friends and I should have a PhD in staying up! We were so good at it ; ) xx
Dear Vix, I feel the same as you - I don't need designer clothes or money - I am rich in love and friends and experiences and that is enough for me xx
Dear Anna Maria, that must be a real challenge for you. I have a lot of respect for the work you must have to put in. I think at 31 you are more equipped to deal with it and have much more patience, at 42 that has lessened and I would find it very hard to cope with. Thank you for your positive and lovely words xx
Dear Clare, I agree there aren't enough hours in the day and for someone like me it's very hard to see where a child could fit in. I hope the office politics sort themselves out or you find something you really want to do. As you say it's hardly the best climate at the moment xx
Dear Simone, what a lovely answer. I don't worry about doing everything - I think opportunities can just happen. I think you can have everything you need - and I am very lucky to be blessed with that.
I never wanted children so it hasn't been an issue, until now (although I've had plenty of opportunities). The Actor is gorgeous and would be my perfect person to do it with - I just don't know if I have the inclination to have one at 42. The other thing is I am not a worrier at all and I know it would force me into becoming one!
OMG! Your friend has SIX? I'd have to go and shut myself in a darkened room! xx
Dear Edith, wise words indeed. I do have everything I need and my life is a luxury for which I am grateful xx
Dear Mrs P, I don't think I would look back with regrets, I've had such a lovely time and continue to do so. I don't think it's the be-all-and-end-all, not for me anyway. I've never been broody but I am with the right person in every way and he would like one. It's a tough one! xx
Dear Alex, I do, and I've always been like you. I would find it a huge upheaval and although I know there are many positive things - it's a hell of a lot of work! I don't want to resent that.
We haven't made holiday plans as yet - he was going to take me to Goa for my Birthday but then got a job so we will have to wait 'til he finishes 3 months filming and then go somewhere gorgeous. I'm looking forward to it already xx
Dear Belle, I agree with you, I do think I have it all. The baby question has arisen and I am having a dilemma with it as in my mind I have everything I could wish for xx
Dear Margaret, I think I have everything I want. I am scared of having children and I do think it would be very hard, especially to start now. Fee found it a massive struggle at 32 and thinks at 42 I would be mad. Those ten years make a huge difference in the way you feel physically and mentally. I really appreciate your positive words. We shall see!! xx
Dear Jackie, I love the old school luxury and glamour and have tried to recreate it in my home. I think everyone should have some luxury!
I agree material things aren't important. I need to try and put the energy I put into other things into exercise at the moment - it's a mind switch!
We must share Sunday lunch tips - I like all the same places as you. I must try The Green, I've heard good things about it.
Good luck with the All Saints obsession - I have the same problem with Ebay! xx
Dear Daisychain, thank you, I must come and visit you now xx
Dear Siobhan, I am looking at it as a compromise rather than a choice, that's an interesting point.
Oh God! I love my bed - I am writing from it now. What a luxury xx
Dear Pamela, you are so right!
Ohh! I wish I could have a dog like Edward. Instead!! xx
Dear Sharon, I never chase things, I think they come to you or not. It's worked for me so far! You're lucky you did it early and I'm really glad you're happy, it was the right thing for you to do.
It's becoming a time issue now because he probably has years but I don't and it's never been something I've wanted. I think it's harder the older you get. Especially when you're happy with what you have already xx
Dear Becka, I'm sure it will all pan out for you. As long as you're enjoying yourself I'm sure it will all fall into place.
I will definitely check that site out, thank you xx
Dear Yvonne, thank you. Oh your poor mum having to do it all over again! Yes, you have to do what's right for you xx
Dear Sacramento, I do and I'm really happy. Yes we have the right idea! Sending love xx
Dear Amanda, I think loving what you do is vitally important and I feel sorry for people who are trapped in jobs they don't love by circumstance. There are sacrifices in everything. I can't afford to fly off on all the holidays The Actor would like me to but there's nothing in my life I can moan about. I'm glad it's all going well for you xx
Dear Paris Apartment, I will always love beautiful pictures, I never tire of looking at them xx
Dear Mrs TNMA, thank you! Yes I think I do too! You are right to make time for yourself it's so important. Isn't the Rita picture fabulous! What a beauty she was xx
Dear Janfaw, I'm the same - I find one day at a time much easier. I am making an effort to appreciate what I have and live in the moment. Yes, January has been a total luxury and completely stress free! Very wise words, thank you xx
Dear Bluetramontanastyle, me too and isn't that a stunning picture? xx
Dear Terri, thank you! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you saying that! I think it's so hard to start now, I totally understand why they say you should ideally have them around 25. It makes perfect sense to me.
I'm so glad you tried it, it is the best juice to do. It has less sugar and carbs than nearly all the others and is a brilliant liver cleanser. I'm making a few pints of the same one later xx
Dear Kate, well I think you're like Superwoman! You juggle things brilliantly, I'm not sure I have the capacity to do it as well. I'm a bit all or nothing. It it my age? I DO NOT get Justin Beiber at all. And he's on one of the LOVE covers! How delightful Petit Garcon has done his first Tweet - he'll be wanting an iPhone next! Loved your reply, thank you xx
Dear Simone, I have a huge list of negatives... maybe I should post them? I do think "no way" but I am with the right person, it's a difficult one and very much an issue because of my age.
Fee thinks I would make an amazing mother although she is finding it very tough and said to me recently "Do you want this in ten years time when you're 52?" and the answer has to be no xx
Darling Julia, I shall hold you to that. Definitely see you at LFW, looking forward to it already xx
Dear Karena, aren't they beautiful! I shall come and join, thank you xx
Dear Emma, do it, your time is the most important thing, and you'll never get it back. Darling, it's baffling me too! xx
This is my favourite post of yours EVER.
To quote my friend Lucinda 'No One gets it all" and they don't, but I think you can have pretty much most of what you want.
I left my own motherhood run very late and in my view at my age one is tonnes.
It makes me a bit sad that you feel you have insufficient "time" I truly believe this is a state of mind. I always feel I have lots of time and pack in more than most people, but I action stuff at lightning speed.
However I am worried that once the baby arrives that my life will be hardcore disarray and I won't be able to do the things I love anymore. That frightens me...
But I'm telling you, it's a Mindset! you have the time for everything you want- you just need to harnass it.
You should def have a baby- imagine how attractive it'd be. Plus they are the New Black. xxx
What a great post.. I think it is possible to have it all.. its just your priorities alter and what you thought wanted most can suddenly fade when you have that little bundle in your arms... Remember the lack of sleep is not for that long xx.
Dear FF, ahhh thank you! You and I should talk!
I worry that my life would no longer be my own. I'm sure you will do an amazing job and I know it's possible later on, I would find it very hard but I'm not totally ruling it out. I hope you will laugh at today's post! It's meant to be tongue in cheek xx
Dear Ruby, you and I have talked about this a lot and you are living proof it can be done xx
Gosh 46 comments on this subject, I won't read them because I don't want to be influenced by what they say and also to cut to a finer point, I don't have time to read them if I want to read everybodies posts! It is possible but its bloody hard work! To be honest darling and I know I can be with you, I had an 8 year gap between the youngest daughter and Little Man and I was 37 when I had him and it was so much harder, he was the easiest baby you could wish to meet and has turned into the worlds best behaved, funny and intelligent 10 year old the world has ever seen, but it knackered me out having him at that age. He is an utter joy and although I never wanted a boy, is the apple of my life and truly makes it worth living but I worry as I am on the slippery slope to 50 and am still doing school runs when all the other parents in the playground are way under 40, just how much of his adulthood will I see? If I stopped smoking and eat shit, it would no doubt be longer! I know what you mean about having no time, I have spent from 9am till now, 2pm doing housework today whilst lazy fat husband sits on his arse and have three loads of washing to iron later and tomorrow will be doing Mum's housework. I honestly couldn't cope with a full time job and wonder how I did it with a long commute when I had three children under three! xx
Oh dear, I read all the other comments and now only 45 mins to read blogs until school run - shit!
My uncle always says that for everything you get in life, you give something up. I agree. I don't think it's possible to have it all.
I look at even the younger parents, who look so exhausted out in restaurants with little kids at night, and think--geesh, they still have to go home and bathe the kids and put them to bed. No thanks.
Love you,
SB
wow they are gorgeous!!! I love all of these ladies - great photos!
I hear ya Christina! I'm lucky to have quite a lot of time now at my hands to do blogging while I'm still at uni, but I know it will change once I get a job. It will be hard doing a priorities, esepcially when it comes to blogging, but I will have to cut down the number of blogs I read every day (or regularly).. I am already dreading it, so I'm just trying to make most of it at the moment :P
Plus, add relationships, work, and life and I have no time at all!
