The Birthday Face 2015 – GoodBye Twenties…

12 February 2015

The Birthday Face 2015

Another year has come and gone… and IT’S MY BIRTHDAY AGAIN! :) Ironically, now that I want time to slow down as much as possible, my birthday seems to come around really quickly. I can’t say that I’m very excited to turn 29 years old, as that only puts me one year away from the big 3.0, and I have to start saying goodbye to my twenties! However, I am excited for everything my 29th year will bring – lots of new memories, adventures and oh… the very small matter of having a baby! :)

The Birthday Face 2015

One thing is for sure – this year will be one of the most memorable years of my life. It will also be the year my life changes forever, and although the thought of such a big change frightens me, I’ve never felt so ready for this new chapter and my new-found role as a mother.

The Birthday Face 2015

In terms of birthday celebrations, this year will be quite low-key. The presents have been replaced for money to buy baby stuff, and the party has been swapped for a quiet meal for two and a snuggle on the sofa with my hubby and baby bump. But I still felt as though I needed to get ready for the day! So I had a little pamper session and got all dolled up to make me feel extra special. You can find below all the products I used to create my birthday look.

    Aw, you’re so beautiful!! I know the feeling, I’m 27 now and feel that my birthdays are coming around far too quickly. You look really well! How many weeks pregnant are you? I’m due my 2nd baby in 2 weeks and really feeling it now. Nights in snuggled with the hubby beats a night out any day xx

    My 29th is fast approaching, too. I will be celebrating mine a month after my baby arrives, amidst all the hullaballoo. You should be glad you celebrated your last b’day of the twenties in such a calm fashion, looking as fantastic as you are. I keep saying this, you are looking your very best now

    Enjoy the last of your twenties. Your title worries me because I am in my 20’s and I need to appreciate it and make the most of it.

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎

Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to repre Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to represent 2021 for me and it couldn’t be more fitting.

Every time I find myself thinking things won’t work out before even giving it a chance, I repeat to myself “trust the process”. It gives me the strength I need to keep going and just like that... things do work out. Always.

This lockdown has been so much harder than the first one for me. How have you found it?

I thought it was going to be the same or easier than the first time because we’d done it before, but it’s actually been so much more testing.

The only way I’m getting through it is by 💫 trusting the process 💫
