A Big HELLO to all mums and mums-to-be!

I hope you all are doing great!

I am really excited since the day I got to know that I am going to guest blog for Being Mumma!
I have been making so many projects for babies but never thought of making something for the mothers.

So here’s to the bravest act of motherhood – PREGNANCY!

I am sharing with you a tutorial to make your very own DIY pregnancy journal – to simply journal the beautiful moments and experiences of your pregnancy. Its a mini journal and pretty easy to make and of course exciting for all you pregnant beauties!.
