When we move house and I can re-set my sewing machine up, I'm going to make some cool aprons, just short ones for around the waist. I love my big aprons for cooking, but if I don't have an apron handy I'm known to tuck a tea towel into my jeans so I have something to wipe my hands on.

Can I just forbid anyone with a newborn to feel frumpy in trackies - comfort is the key then! Although, having said that, when you have a newborn, a shower, nice outfit and a bit of makeup goes a loooooooong way towards making you feel human again! I remember that. I guess balance is the key, I had 2 pairs of awesome yoga pants that I could sleep in, then just put a cardigan on and I was dressed! Haha. Great for those early days when day and night kind of blur and you sleep whenever you can...
