We all have moments where we scroll our various media channels thinking we have read or engaged with everything; but we haven’t. Sometimes I check the weather app 3x before I have really taken it in. It is a lot of data at once but as it is aimless scrolling, we don’t always go inContinue reading “Scrolling mindset”

Taking a Break
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”
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”
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

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”
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 andContinue reading “Getting to know me”
Celebration or Appreciation
One of the major aspects at work and in life is recognising achievements to make people feel appreciated. The question how far do you go from recognition to celebration in order to engage your teams or your children? Watching the children grow up, they achieve so much such as first tooth, sitting up, first steps,Continue reading “Celebration or Appreciation”
I did it: I communicated about my blog
I did it! I communicated about my blog on LinkedIn! My first ever post was about taking this career break and the views and feedback was MASSIVE! I was even trending on the #Covid19! However, it’s interesting how much you start to doubt yourself when you haven’t got others to affirm your skills! A recruiterContinue reading “I did it: I communicated about my blog”
