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”

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 feelContinue reading “A week and a long weekend”
Start of a New Term: At Home
Despite being lockdown, the half-term week has run through our fingers like water. We do feel the absence of family and friends a lot, but we have made our own fun and it’s great to see the two of them so close to each other and playing together except for when they give each otherContinue reading “Start of a New Term: At Home”
External Validation
Living in Tier 3 is interesting. You can go out and about, but you can’t visit each other in homes. Making friends becomes very challenging at the loss to your support network. As a mother, I am aware of how often I call my mum, my friends who have more experience to ask advice onContinue reading “External Validation”
Loop the Loop
It’s been a while since I’ve posted and that is because we are enjoying our outdoors time again after the two week isolation. It’s been great just to get in the fresh air, cycle up a hill (Phew!) and then whizz down again just like freedom. It’s almost the feeling of starting something new andContinue reading “Loop the Loop”
