Although it’s been approx. 1.5 years since I left work, walking my children to school is still a luxury even in this cold weather. The frost has made the pavements slippery this morning and the girls were enjoying sliding around on it. I was still in the moment with them, but then I did whatContinue reading “The right timing: Frost”

End of the Holidays
We start back to school next Monday but we are now winding down all of our activities. School uniform is all purchased ready to be labelled and will be put into PE bags before the weekend, just to enjoy our last Saturday and Sunday as a whole family before the school run starts. When youContinue reading “End of the Holidays”
Scrolling mindset
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”
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”
Being a Chicken mum
We have had a busy morning doing our usual park games, sandwiches in the park and back home by 13:00. I was flat out tired as I had spent the previous evening de-cluttering wardrobes after the girls had one to bed. My eldest asked me to run up the stairs to close her top buttonContinue reading “Being a Chicken mum”
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”
