Happy International Womenโ€™s Dayโ€ฆ Iโ€™m lucky enough to have grown up with independent & strong women all around me. Itโ€™s where I get my resilience & determination from.

Itโ€™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 itโ€™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 alreadyโ€ฆ 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 Iโ€™m still learning things about myself on this motherhood journey: some of those things Iโ€™m learning from Isla.

Iโ€™m very proud of my baby girl ๐Ÿฅฐ

Get cleaning the air fryer with meโ€ฆ ๐Ÿงผ A slightly different post from me tonight: a handy little tip for cleaning your air fryer.โฃ

Thereโ€™s something about a cleaning tip that makes cleaning that bit ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ. We use the air fryer everyday, we love it. Keeping it clean is important.โฃ

โ–ช๏ธ air fry for ๐Ÿฏ ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€โฃ

If youโ€™ve only been cooking vegetables and things like that then this is ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ง๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต to clean the trays. Simply rinse and dry. โฃ
โฃ
If youโ€™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!โฃ

Making the most out of your Filofax

Making the most out of your Filofax

One of the things I love about my Filofax is that it is re-useable. I have had this raspberry Filofax from Pen Heaven for years now and I love that I get to use it again and again... this year I have even added some accessories to it. I like having a space to doodle, write my reminders and it is handy too as it fits in my handbag. I sit in a coffee shop each week, whilst Isla is at Gymfinity and I doodle away. VIEW the POST

Win a bundle of wellbeing goodies

What better way to kick off the New Year than to do it with a competition? And, a fabulous competition at that: to win a bundle of wellbeing goodies. I am an advocate for mindfulness and looking after yourself. This competition will give you everything you need to give yourself some time and to ensure you start the year with a healthy mind.

Get out and get walking #mindfulness

I am not very good at New Years resolutions, I tend to just think about what I would like to do that year and try my best. Walking is my thing. I worked on it last year and did a lot more walking than the year before. I want to make sure I do more of it in 2020. Mindfulness is another topic I am keen to explore more this year – finding ways to keep my mind healthy. Walking is definitely good for that too.

Mindful Monsters encouraging the little ones to be in the present #MindfulMonsters

Mindful Monsters encouraging the little ones to be in the present #MindfulMonsters

Scope have launched a fabulous and fun campaign this week: Mindful Monsters, to help encourage our little ones to be mindful. Mindfulness is all about being in the present, the now. It is really easy to do, look I will show you: take a deep breath and count to three, then breathe out again. That was you being in the present, thinking about your breathing. It's something I have learnt at the age of 34, I am really pleased to hear that there is a push to encourage children to be more mindful.  VIEW the POST

Being on the go and making time for yourself

We are a family of seven: two (almost) grownups, two under 7โ€™s, two dogs and a cat. During the week, we are probably the average family, doing ordinary things. School run routines, work, walking the dogs, feeding, playing, cleaning and sleeping. You know the usual things. So, at the weekends, and some week nights depending on the beautiful sunshine, we love to get out and about. We are always on the go, but when do we get time to ourselves?
