Had a wonderful few days in London recording an audiobook. It’s been a while since I’ve worked anywhere but from home, and while that has its advantages, actually going to a nice building and being around professionals was such a treat!
Even the sweaty morning tube commute felt like a luxury (especially after two nights of caring for a toddler with a stomach bug 😅)
There’s such pressure (externally and internally) for mothers to live up to some ‘perfect’ ideal – whether that pertains to career, looks, parenting, anything. If you’ve been following me a while, you’ll know I’m keen to steer clear of perfectionism, and focus on doing what’s best for me and my family, whatever that looks like. While I’ve loved having so much time at home with my little ones (mostly), I’m starting to feel ready for the next chapter, the one beyond 24/7 motherhood.

WFH… but make it cosy.
Currently working on a children’s book set in medieval England. What were your favourite books when you were a kid?

Didn’t break a sweat on this morning’s run because it’s sooo cold! ❄️ Frozen ears and fingers!
I’m not very good at running – not particularly fast, no amazing stamina. But I do it because it makes me feel better. I’ve never gone for a run and felt worse after…
…but I know it’s not for everyone. As a Pilates teacher, I always recommend people find a form of movement they enjoy, and do that. Forget what you think you ‘should’ do.
What do you enjoy?

Sunday mode 🛌
There’s so much emphasis on productivity and achieving that it’s easy to forget to slow down. Even though taking care of two small children is a full-time job in itself, I often feel under self-imposed pressure to ‘do more’. As the season changes, it’s a good time to slow down and prioritise rest wherever possible. Both mentally and physically.
Cosy silky pyjamas from @powder_uk 🍂 (gifted).
Me and my love ❤️ it only took eight million attempts to get a nice pic without him taking the mick
More from Norfolk… we stayed at the fantastic @thehostearms in Burnham Market. It more than made up for a less than perfect birthday last week 😅
The food was so good – they do a wonderful vegan cheesecake – and it was such a treat to lie in bed watching tv once the kids were asleep 🌟

Beautiful Norfolk. Hunstanton beach 🏖
Don’t forget to wear your sunscreen, ok friends?
Idk it’s been hot and I’ve not really been taking pics other than blurry ones of my kids? How is everyone? X
It’s been a while but this week I’m back in the makeup bus! 💄🎭
First time in years to have a child-free catch up with @annathompson_london. What a treat. Thank you for the lols and delicious dessert ❤️

✍🏻 Thrilled to tell you that you can read my new wellness column in @psychologiesmagazine !
In this issue, I talk about how stress can be impacted by different types of exercise. 🧘🏼♀️
Let me know if you have a read!
In the new December issue of @psychologiesmagazine, check out my column on Intuitive Movement. I very much took my own advice and have spent most of today on the sofa while the kids were taken care of. ❤️
