We are 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 this one… Isla’s gone on her first residential with school and she’s not home until Weds evening. It’s very quiet without her in the house.⁣ ⁣ Amazing how much 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 she brings to the place and you can really feel it missing when she’s not here.⁣ ⁣ I know she’s having a fab time, they’ve 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘥, 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘦𝘥, 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘴 (under supervision of course).⁣ ⁣ I can’t wait to hear all about their 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 when our little lady returns home.⁣ ⁣ Have your kiddies been on a school residential yet?⁣ ⁣ #mummyphotoaday ~ 𝗱𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿 ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #babygirl #daughter #daughterlove #daughters #familytime #honestmotherhood #momanddaughter #momlife #mommyanddaughter #momsofinstagram #mother #motheranddaughter #motherdaughter #motherhood #motherhoodintheraw #motherhoodjourney #motherhoodmoments #motherhoodrising #motherhoodthroughig #motherhoodunplugged #mydaughter #mymotherhood #nationaldaughtersday #parenting #realmotherhood #thisismotherhood

“𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗰𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴” 𝘉𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘺 𝘚𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴. ⁣ ⁣ I love this quote. And it’s something I’ve been thinking about over the last couple of months. I 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 a bit of 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 back in my life.⁣ ⁣ I’ve been putting off things and felt too depleted to even consider exercise recently. But I know in order to fix myself, 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 and 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, I need to get back on track and take no shortcuts.⁣ ⁣ I want to 𝗵𝗶𝗸𝗲 in breathtaking landscapes, do fun 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 and I want to pick up 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 again. I’ll have lots of happy memories of my pups whilst I’m doing them, which will be my motivation.⁣ ⁣ I’m going to start by trying to go for a 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 at least once a day. For the past few weeks I’ve barely done 2000 steps in a day & I know I need to get back out there.⁣ ⁣ 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗰𝘂𝘁𝘀… 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #mummyphotoaday ~ walk ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #bethankfuleveryday #inspireothers #positivity #happinessisaninsidejob #focused #positivemindset #happinessisachoice #thinkpositive #focusonthegood #mindsetiseverything #changestartswithyou #inspiration #changeisgood #youcandoanything #change #me #changetheworld #staytruetoyourself #changemaker #quotes #motivation #photography #changeiscoming #goodvibes #changeyourself #focusonyourgoals #changemakers #mummyfitness #mentalhealth

A bit late to the party, but happy 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 to all the wonderful Mums I know. Mums of humans & Mums of furbabies…⁣ ⁣ 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 is so important. It gets you through the tough times, brings the happy times and makes you feel safe.⁣ ⁣ We are all still struggling after losing both of our furbabies… but 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭 & we’re doing it 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.⁣ ⁣ This photo makes me smile. The last time we went to the beach together, to give Snoopy some sea air through his ears.⁣ ⁣ 𝗠𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆. My memories.

Quorn®️ challenged me to make a quick, delicious & meat free meal. 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 are perfect for lunchtimes whilst working from home. They are also perfect for family lunchtimes on a Saturday as we have little time after clubs.⁣ ⁣ I used some 𝗤𝘂𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗽𝘆 𝗡𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 to make a quick and tasty meal (since recording this I now use the 𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘺𝘦𝘳 which is even quicker than the conventional oven).⁣ ⁣ Being vegetarian is definitely made easier with Quorn products. They are tasty, usually quick to cook & versatile. Isla & Noah love these nuggets too, they prefer them to meat. A family bag of Crispy Nuggets lasts a long time, so they are 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲.⁣ ⁣ My lunch is a Quorn Crispy Nugget roll. So easy… so tasty & perfect for a quick family meal too.⁣ ⁣ Quorn have an 𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘺𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦 on their website now: Quorn Crispy Nuggets take 𝟭𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 to cook 🙏🏻 I will put the link to the guide in my stories. ⁣ ⁣ What do you cook for a quick lunchtime treat? ⁣ ⁣ #mummyphotoaday ~ 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣#crispynuggets #familymeals #crispynuggetmeal #quickmeals #quicklunch #quickmeal #vegetarianrecipes #vegetarian #easyrecipe #airfryerquorn #cheap #quick #easy #favouritemeals #meatfreemeals #quornrecipes #quornnuggets #healthylifestyle #healthyfood ⁣ Music: Back to 1987⁣ Musician: EnjoyMusic⁣ Site: https://enjoymusic.ai⁣

Happy International Women’s Day… I’m lucky enough to have grown up with independent & strong women all around me. It’s where I get my resilience & determination from. It’s something that I want to ensure Isla has too: to be resilient is to have patience and strength. To keep a smile, even if deep down it’s painful. Determination is to have focus and passion. To keep going even if the end is not quite in sight. I can see a lot of this in her already… she is far more confident than I ever was at 10 and she knows her own mind. Which I love. Now I need to make sure she has self confidence, self awareness and self love. So she can endure all that life throws at her and she can listen to her body & mind to guide her. I love that I’m still learning things about myself on this motherhood journey: some of those things I’m learning from Isla. I’m very proud of my baby girl 🥰 #mummyphotoaday ~ listen #mummyanddaughter #daughter #listen #love #parenthood #motherhood #internationalwomensday #womensday #nationalwomensday #sunsetphotos #sunsetsilhouette #iwd2023 #iwd #strongwomen #celebratewomen #familylife #daughterlove #daughterappreciation #gratitude

Get cleaning the air fryer with me… 🧼 A slightly different post from me tonight: a handy little tip for cleaning your air fryer.⁣ ⁣ There’s something about a cleaning tip that makes cleaning that bit 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳. We use the air fryer everyday, we love it. Keeping it clean is important.⁣ ⁣ So: ⁣ ⁣ ▪️ add 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱 to the trays⁣ ▪️ add water to 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 the plates inside the tray⁣ ▪️ air fry for 𝟯 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘀⁣ ⁣ If you’ve only been cooking vegetables and things like that then this is 𝘴𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 to clean the trays. Simply rinse and dry. ⁣ ⁣ If you’ve cooked meats or food that sticks to the trays, like cheese, then give it a good wash afterwards. The air frying will have helped to release those foods!⁣ ⁣ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗲𝘁?⁣ ⁣ #mummyphotoaday ~ different⁣ ⁣ #deepcleaning #kitchencleaning #airfryerhack #airfryer #ninja #cleanwithme #cleaningmotivation #mykitchen #satisfyingcleaning #mondaymotivation #cleaningreels #cleaninghacks #cleanairfryerhacks #airfryercooking #airfryerlovers #ninjaairfryer #very #cleaningtips

Today was the christening of Isla Rae & Mummy, it was such an overwhelming day as not only was I emotional about my baby girl but also for myself. Isla opened all her fantastic birthday / christening presents and even mummy got some beautiful presents…
