Our brave hearts ♥️
⁣
I’ve been drawing a little heart on mine and the kids’ wrists before they go to school.
⁣
We call it our ‘brave hearts’. Every morning, at drop off, we supercharge it!
⁣
So, whenever one of us is missing home, feeling sad or not so confident, we can give our brave hearts a little tap to remind us to be brave and reassure us that we are always there for each other.
⁣
It’s worked a treat for my kids!
⁣
We had a few tears this morning from Bella, so we made sure to supercharge her brave heart with as much love as possible. She wiped her tears and said to me “I’m going to be super brave, mummy.” 😭😍
⁣
These little things mean the world to me; being able to soothe their worries in a way that feels kind, loving and without invalidating their feelings. This was just what I needed this morning to lift up my spirits! 💕
⁣
Do you do anything similar to reassure your children in new environments or in the face of change? I’d love to hear about it!
⁣

How well are you mothering yourself? Check in on

How well are you mothering yourself?

Check in on your needs.

Remember we can only give what we’ve got, so if you’re running yourself to the ground, you’re likely not giving your children the mum they deserve.

Whenever I’m struggling with taking care of myself, I always remind myself that my kids deserve the best of me, not what’s left of me.

Save this as a gentle reminder that you also need rest, healthy food, entertainment, comfort and all the things your kids need! 💛

Throwback to when my only worries were around red

Throwback to when my only worries were around red lipsticks not smudging, curls lasting all day and timing my naps around Downtown Abbey on a Sunday. Simpler times! 😆

My life stopped to make their new normal possible.

My life stopped to make their new normal possible.
⁣
It’s the end of the first full back to school week and I feel like I’m stuck on Monday.
⁣
✨ When was the last time you did something for yourself?
⁣
I haven’t paid myself any attention, haven’t looked in the mirror or brushed my hair since Monday. I haven’t had breakfast or lunch, just relying on a quiet moment after bedtime to feed myself.
⁣
I had two days off work this week, but I filled with staggered drop offs and pickups; at one point, I was doing 10 school runs in a day... for just 2 kids!
⁣
The admin! The uniforms neatly laid out every morning and washed every evening! The worrying!
⁣
As I sit down tonight, after I put the kids to bed, I’m reflecting on what has been an unusually busy week.
⁣
I’m reminding myself that what we are collectively going through is extremely hard.
⁣
It’s perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed, unproductive and wonder how you can feel so many emotions in the space of a day.
⁣
It might take a couple of weeks to fit “me” in again, but I know it’s best for everyone if I try to make room for my needs.
⁣
So this weekend, remember you.
⁣
Do something to refuel your tank. Recharge your batteries, fill your cup with rest and goodness. Give yourself the best chance to have a good week! 💛
⁣
(I’m so looking forward to a glow up like this tomorrow! 🥰)

Hello! 👋🏻 ⁣ How was your weekend? I really

Hello! 👋🏻
⁣
How was your weekend? I really enjoyed my 2-day #digitaldetoxday. Going forward, I will make it a habit to completely switch off social media at least one day a week.
⁣
My mind feels refreshed and decluttered. It’s amazing how much “stuff” we don’t need to consume, but we do, just by mindless scrolling for hours on end.
⁣
This break made me think a lot more about being intentional with my use of social media.
⁣
I don’t want it to be a place to come when my mind wanders, but a place for inspiration, connection and reflection.
⁣
My aim is to gain something every time I come on social media as a consumer, and to add something to other people’s lives as a creator.
⁣
I’ll be keeping a close eye on what I’m interacting with and how long I’ve spent scrolling versus what I’ve gained and given from it.
⁣
Do you take regular social media breaks? 🌟
