Something that runs through my mind on a daily bas

Something that runs through my mind on a daily basis at the moment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Running a business literally from my phone means it’s out way more than I’d like, but that’s also my reality (and a lucky one too given it allows total flexibility).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I try where possible to do things in nap times or on the kitchen counter so the phone doesn’t “block” my interaction with my boys, but it’s hard!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wanted to get your opinion on how you find it? It’s a constant juggle between not wanting it to take away my presence around them, but in the same note not beating myself up if it happens because it is literally how my business runs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some things I’m trying to do;
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👶🏻 Doing my first client/Insta check in before I get the boys up in the morning.
👶🏾Splitting my day into chunks so that I say for example don’t check for an hour, then allow myself 5 minutes to check emails etc.
👶🏻Reducing overall screen time and reminding myself how quickly they’re growing up.
👶🏾Buying a decent camera with WiFi so that I can use a proper camera more often rather than always reaching for the phone, especially on days out/trips/holidays.
👶🏻Reminding myself that we are the first generation of parents to go through this, so it’s not going to be easy but being mindful of the effect is at least a starting point!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Any other ideas let me know….It’s HARD this tech stuff! 🙌🏼

So excited and grateful to be heading back to the

So excited and grateful to be heading back to the beach next week, for our last family holiday pre “school term time” restrictions!

It’s a little pinch myself moment as we’re off to the Dominican Republic to stay at @clubmedmichesplayaesmeralda and I’ll be covering our journey and time there with you, as part of a PR collaboration with @flagstonetravel.

I’m so happy that you love a bit of travel content, so I’ll be showing you everything from the flight (wish us luck 🤪), the childcare facilities and everything else that we love about the resort which looks perfect for families (I’ll pop a link on stories).

I’m aware that quite a few of you had excellent ski holidays booked with @flagstone and @clubmed after booking from seeing our last trip, so I can’t wait to be able to share this one with with you all.

If you have any questions about the trip, by all means pop them below and I’ll aim to cover everything whilst we are there. And in the meantime, by all means get in touch with @flagstone to discuss more. Sarah is brilliant at catering for young families and has mentioned a special offer that I’ll be able to share next week.

Feeling forever grateful that I’m given these sorts of opportunities and never take for granted how lucky we are 🥰 especially with the world as it is right now.

I hope you enjoy the ride 🌴

One of my favourite ways of reducing tension in the house is to do lots of prepping in advance! Swipe to see some of my top ideas.

Talk, talk and talking some more to our little people can make such a difference to their days! Tag a friend who may be experiencing similar right now 🤪

Try it and see how you go 🙌🏼

Tap to tidy function doesn’t seem to be working

Tap to tidy function doesn’t seem to be working here right now?! Two days of weekend “sorting” and there’s now more mess than when we started.

I feel like as they get older, the mess gets more full on?!

Any tips for juggling a tidy home and small children? Thought not 😂 (no but genuinely if you do have any!)

Please tell me we’re all in the same boat…

Throwing back to when my 2nd born was a squidgy, widgy little squish.

I’ve been collecting some of your comments on what encouraging settling to sleep (independently) has done for you and your family and wanted to share because they are so POWERFUL. These sorts of comments still to this day blow my mind, because they are genuinely transformational.

Thank you for sending in your thoughts and helping others who are in need of that confidence and support, but don’t know where to go. I love that this is a safe and non judgemental place to share your motherhood celebrations 🥰

“It changed my mood and our relationship”

“I felt more confident”

“It’s life changing”

“Gives me freedom to have a cup of tea, put a wash on”

“There are so many benefits it’s hard to list, but not dreading bed and naptime has to be up there”

A little bit of reassurance for you on this beauti

A little bit of reassurance for you on this beautiful sunny Thursday!

I have TOO many messages from parents who are struggling on with doing sleep in a way that isn’t working for them and their child, but being too worried to move away from it because of things people have said to them, or stuff they’ve seen online.

I’ll let you into a little secret, you’re still a blooming GREAT Mummy even if you choose to do sleep differently from your friends and others around you.

If the way in which your baby settles isn’t working for you anymore, then it’s ok to want to change it.

It’s ok to want your evenings as a couple, longer stretches at night and to have the option to have someone else settle your child.

It’s ok to feel more energetic and present because you spend less time making sleep happen.

It’s ok to have a baby who falls asleep without your help but still have an amazing bond and attachment.

It’s OK to do things your way. It doesn’t make you any less of a mother.

What did self settling enable you to do or feel as a mother?

Happy Thursday folks!
