STANDING ROOM ONLY: So the reality of what we have done, having a 3rd child hit me straight between the eyes again today. We were just getting to having civilised meals out with Ele and Leo but not any more, oh no! Now, I will be continually standing during meals out, lookin…

HOME SCHOOL: Thank you @thebodycoach for taking up the first half hour of this fairly daunting day. We have moved. We have laughed and we all feel much more prepared to get started. Big shout out to all of you starting home school today. Be kind to yourself and the kids I fo…

THANK YOU: It is the least we can do. We will be there clapping as hard as we possibly can. Thank you, each and every one of you. We know you are knackered, we know you feel like you are fighting a losing battle. You are not. You are doing an incredible job and we will do ou…

4.47am wake up. Think he is massively unsettled. So he watches a film whilst I listen to calming yet rising music to drown out the film, whilst I try to work, whilst at the same time keeping him company. I mean what’s not going to work about this for the next however many we…

Trying to think less about the current state of affairs and pondering this......Why?! It’s like when you’re running late and you hit every red light. It’s like the world just knows. #somethingelsetothinkabout #grumpy #nightfeed #spotoflightrelief #parenting #upallhours

Happy 3rd Birthday Gus 💙He was one happy dinosaur this morning as he opened his dinosaur 🛴 scooter. He is so funny. He totally gets that it is his birthday but he seems slightly suspicious of it. 😂 it’s the big party tomorrow which he has been extremely vocal about exactly w…

Current mood calls for a Negroni. Nonna is having Barney time this evening so I’m out with the girls. A huge rarity. I was a bit keen so got here early. You know when you just need a drink. 🤷🏻‍♀️Just being honest. Don’t judge me please! Two for one on cocktails, what would you h…

Found this to be rather accurate!! Have recently cottoned on to the fact that Barney says ‘Pardon’ a lot in response to most things I say to him...even when he has clearly heard me. I think it bides him time if I am asking him to do something he doesn’t want to do. Rest of t…

SUNSHINE THROUGH THE CLOUDS: We are honest on here, it’s what we do and so I am not going to lie recently life has been tricky. A perfect storm of multiple 💩 balls, hitting the fan all at one time. I am not after sympathy, I had a cracking time in Venice for which I am etern…

I think a little reminder here and there is important if you know what I mean. (Not that they notice or listen but it makes me feel better!) #reallife #parenting #parents #children #upallhours

He’s been at football club all day (every day!), I’ve been at work all day (every day 😋!). We convene for dinner and film time. (And a G&T) Really appreciating the no pressure early mornings = more relaxed evenings. *
