#Story time

 

So, talking about buns in the oven! You may be expecting a little one on the way, or perhaps thinking of it in the future, or completely set on the fact that you definitely don’t want kids, this might just confirm your decision…

You must have heard the saying, ‘What they don’t tell you’? Now, I thought I’d heard every possible, ‘What they don’t tell you’, but in all honesty, no one really tells you it brutally straight even though they say they do.

So, here’s a few little things of childbirth and soon after that I’m struggling to forget.. Enjoy :)

 

Disclaimer: I’ve already told you it’s, ‘What they don’t tell you’. Which you know means.. Too much info!

  • Childbirth - Take all the drugs possible! You’re an incredibly strong amazing woman whether you do it ‘Au natural’ or not. You’re pushing a whole human out of you, don’t be a fucking idiot.

  • Also, stop worrying about doing a poop during childbirth, it may or may not happen… Your behind however, is going to look like it’s trying to give everyone a big kiss throughout the whole thing which is a lot more embarrassing!

  • So for the first few weeks, maybe even months, your boobs are going to hurt, and I mean really hurt. You’re going to be super horny, but also, super, “Get the fuck away from me”. At some-point however, you’ll venture down the whole sexy-time path and right at the moment you feel like yourself again. Your boobs will kindly remind you that its going to be a while until you’re back to that sexy mischievous self and not stop spraying, everywhere, and I mean everywhere! You’ll learn a lot about your partner in this key moment!

Hey!

So, you’re deciding whether or not to make your own buns! We really like this little recipe. These buns are similar to a brioche, with a nice sexy glaze on top and some sesame seeds for added texture and a slight nuttiness.

We often do a home-made burger and bun for date night. That extra effort of making your own buns will earn you mega-points with the other half. Maybe even get you a whole different kinda’ bun in the oven, so be careful folks!!
