It is the second-half of the summer holidays and the weather is encouraging us away from activities and into more thoughtful activities. It does feel like we have crammed so much in the first half that we forgot to pay attention to things like the local Library Reading Challenge (we made a trip today), artsContinue reading “Taking a Break”

Equal leadership
‘Give it to Lucy, she will get it done’ is something you have probably heard in the office multiple times a day or when a new challenge is looming. It could be a different name or a different gender, but there is a Lucy in each team. When something is complex or challenging, new orContinue reading “Equal leadership”
End of the week drop
It’s only when it gets to Friday 16.00 that I am ready to drop. I’m not working, the girls are not in school but the weekend still has it’s power over me and how I view the week. It’s a habit that hasn’t left me yet despite me making so many changes in my dailyContinue reading “End of the week drop”
Middle of the Week
It’s Wednesday and the weather is wonderful today. We haven’t run out to the park whilst it is cool before midday; enjoying a play dough morning. We did find some missing small lego pieces in the green play dough… a time reminiscent of lockdown at home activities that meant our living room floor wasn’t visibleContinue reading “Middle of the Week”
First Time for Everything
It’s the first time (without Covid restrictions) that I am not working during the summer holidays. Trying to organise every day to match the curiosity of the children is challenging- I would never downplay being the person solely responsible for various activities that they are interested in but may not be your own personal strengthContinue reading “First Time for Everything”
Big Ideas
How do you feel when the schedule you have put together doesn’t go to plan? Not a great feeling, but being agile is so valuable these days and having the mental resilience to take ownership of it is underestimated. Planning all the activities we want to do this summer with the children has of courseContinue reading “Big Ideas”
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 mostContinue reading “The summer start”
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 ofContinue reading “Brands and Freedom”
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 picsContinue reading “Unusual moments of Teamwork”
