One more day and then 2 weeks of fire break lockdo

One more day and then 2 weeks of fire break lockdown (in Wales)... what’s not to look forward to? 😫 In all honesty, I know we are so sick and tired of this situation and the disruption it’s caused in all our lives, but I’m willing to continue to do my part so we can hopefully have something that resembles some sort of Christmas. I won’t be easy to be confined to our homes again, especially as the weather is not in our favour this time around, but I think if we put in the effort now - minimal contact with others, only essential trips - we can do this. Lockdown number 2 will be harder because we are all out of ideas, patience and a bit fed up, but at least we have a timeframe; it’s not forever. 💛 #togetherwecandothis #stayhome

Sometimes I wish I could go back and tell myself:

Sometimes I wish I could go back and tell myself: this constant worrying is not doing you any favours.

Looking back at old photos brings back so many happy memories, but much of my time was spent second guessing, over-analysing, in planning mode.

I thought that if I worried enough, everything would be ok. I still do, but I’m learning to see worry for what it is - a pointless exercise that takes me away from the present moment.

No more hiding behind the “over zealous, super prepared, on the ball” mum label. I made a commitment to be honest with myself and I know that worrying less, as scary as it seems, is actually healthier for me.

Yeah, I worry (!) things may fall apart, not get done, etc... but 90% of the time everything is ok. I’ll save my worrying for other 10% when there’s a real reason to worry.

P.S: don’t they look like babies on this photo? 😭❤️ Honestly, where have the last two years gone?!

All black everything 🖤 Got my first ever pair of (faux) leather leggings and it’s love! In case you missed the Stories saga, they are from @mintvelvet and I wear a “small short”, which I’d say it’s a great fit for a size 8, 10 and 12 - they’re just so stretchy! For 5ft shorties, definitely go for a short length! 👍🏻

To the 5ft shorties out there - who’s your petite style inspo? Drop me some names in the comments below! I’m obsessed with @corriebromfield’s style at the moment and basically want to buy everything she wears... if only I could grow a bump on the demand to go along with it too! ☺️

We ventured out to soft play for the first time since lockdown and it was so nice! We felt very safe in there and the kids loved it. Of course I had to go for a super comfy and practical mum outfit because I always join in, though I noticed I’m not as nimble as I used to be and got stuck going through a few tunnels! 😂🙈 Have you been to soft play since lockdown?

Thanks for all your suggestions and comments on my

Thanks for all your suggestions and comments on my previous post about nightmares and anxiety. 💛 It’s hard to open up about things like that, especially if you struggle with perfectionism and the idea of not being on your A-game seems horrifying to you. I get it. I’m a lot better at showing vulnerability these days; I think in a way it’s made me stronger. Keep talking, keep being honest with yourself about how you feel. Even in the hardest moments I know I’m not alone and I have lots of you to be thankful for. I’m going to give yoga and pilates a go to try and ease my anxiety. It may not work, but it’s a place to start. My anxiety seems be closely related with the health and safety of my family and the one anchor I do have is knowing that right now, in the present moment (which is all we have), we are safe. Hopefully if my mind settles down a bit more (honestly, why have such an active imagination!?) I can enjoy a restful sleep soon. Never did I think that once my kids were sleeping through the night, my mind would keep me up! 🤦🏻‍♀️ #healthanxietyawareness #maternalmentalhealth
