He Wanted To Play "Highway To Hell" At Our Wedding - By Mother's Love Letters
The amazing Lina from Mother's Love Letters is an absolute doll. I had the privilege of meeting her at Blogopolis the other week and she is one of those people that just radiate warmth and kindness. She was also radiating from her chest from being away from her munchkin, but that's a different story.
What happens when this man (note T-Shirt, hair and goatee soaked in beer):
...brings a baby into the world?

This is my husband with our son. I am the only one in our little family who doesn’t own a Metallica shirt.
If you think my baby looks scared, you will be echoing the sentiments of others on facebook.
However, if you ask my husband, his staunch position is that our son is, in fact, practising his “death stare” (whatever that means).
I prefer to portray this, much nicer and prettier, version of our family (I’m sure the ladies in the house would agree):

When Ms Glowless asked me to guest post, my biggest challenge was deciding on which “He Did What!?” event to report on...
The time my husband changed our son on a dog mat?
How he wanted to play Highway To Hell for our bridal waltz?
How he asked me to time my own contractions – AND make hand-written notes – while I was giving birth to his child?
To be fair, I could equally tell you about how my dear husband baked me very lovely, anti-nausea muffins when I was incapacitated by morning sickness.
Or how he went out and bought me a breast pump (top of the range, mind you). Or that he recently sent me flowers, with a card saying what a fantastic mother I am. Awww....
But last time I checked our marriage certificate, the fine print did say I had the unfettered right to pay him out publicly on certain cool blogs (with his full knowledge and consent, of course.)
We couldn’t be more different, on the surface. We’ve come from totally different families, backgrounds and experiences.
Yet, our stark differences and seemingly unlikely match, perfectly combined to create our beautiful son. I am reminded of this, daily, by my son’s eyes and complexion.
And for this very reason, I was inspired to write a letter to our child about embracing the beauty of the differences between people, called Don’t Be Afraid of People’s Differences.
And NO, just to confirm - Highway To Hell DID NOT make it on the wedding song list.

Lina, who was a high powered solicitor before she decided to become a SAHM, has such a way with words that you leave her blog feeling all lovely and mooshy inside. But she can also make you giggle, especially when you check out her AMAZING video of 'All The Pregnant Ladies' filmed when she was 28 weeks pregnant.
Next week: Sheri is da bomb
