  • The summer start

    It’s been a very short amount of time but the long summer holidays looks short. We have been spending as much time outside as possible, in parks and in the garden. It’s funny how your perspective changes whether you are in work and out of work; just recently I would’ve been in an office most…

  • Brands and Freedom

    So yesterday I talked about persuading my girls to take nice pictures on Eid… here is the aftermath after ice-cream; barefoot handstands and football! Taking time out to explore your own freedoms and not being restricted by the exterior. When companies have a particular feel with their brand, sometimes doing something different reminds us of…

  • Unusual moments of Teamwork

    There aren’t many moments when you can have perfection in and out. This picture looks like it, the girls were dressed up for Eid but what we can’t capture in the picture is the rest of the scene. The commentary of me saying ‘let’s take photos before the playground’, ‘we’ve got a few more pics…

  • Different Perspectives for Change

    Following different paths that get you to a place you regularly go to just give you a different perspective. We went to feed the ducks on my eldest’s last day of school, and the last school day I would have with my little one who will be starting full time school in September. We got…

  • Visualising Creativity

    I’m spending more time in all weathers, more time outside just taking in nature to fuel my creativity. My favourite trainers are covered in mud and are feeling comfortable and well-worn. I don’t mind that, I mismatch my clothes which is the total opposite of what I would do in the office. In the office,…

  • Taking Time to Grow

    I don’t have green fingers at all. I grew up in the inner City so never really needed to learn about gardening. During lockdown, I’ve been encouraging my children to do some planting and look at the progress of their broad beans, still in pots but thriving. The one thing about the plants thriving is…

  • A week and a long weekend

    It’s been a week and a long weekend since I shared the news about my first ever book ‘Women in Lockdown’. I’ve had some fantastic feedback from those who have read it personally, sharing of their own experiences but also great reviews on Amazon that I am so grateful for. With these reviews, I feel…

  • Resilience in lockdown: An Author

    Since I have been on this career break, I’ve lightly touched on how much I am finding out about myself quite frequently. It may seem like I am exaggerating but having the space to just think out loud, absorb my surroundings, look up into the sky and the trees has given me a huge amount…

  • Getting to know me

    What an interesting time this career break has been so far. Alongside home-schooling, I decided to take on a Project that has always been a personal ambition. I have always thought of myself a great multi-tasker, a fantastic completer-finisher, but never did I realise how creative I naturally am leaving me relying on colleagues and…
