      This week I have been grateful for the sunshine ☀️ It’s made this whole ordeal much more bearable. My favourite spot has been sitting in my tree hammock, listening to the birds with a cold drink and a good book. 📖 ☀️🌸🍹 ⠀⠀ #silverlinings #spring #sunshine #relaxation #metime #hammock #readingcorner #ukparentbloggers #lockdown #embracingaslowerlife #livethelittlethings #onlygoodvibes #thinkpositive #blogger
      Anxiety doesn’t come with a manual and it never Anxiety doesn’t come with a manual and it never waits for you to be prepared for its arrival. It’s unpredictable, it’s frustrating and you have little to no control over it. When you are consumed with anxiety, remember you are not alone. Talk to someone, anyone. Sometimes just talking about those things that make you anxious can help. I’ve said it before but you shouldn’t feel silly or ashamed about something that you have no control of. It’s perfectly ok to no be ok! I find that in situations where I have little to no control over, that my anxiety becomes unruly. These past few weeks have been particularly difficult. Taking advice from my 9 year old, I’ve been using a weighted blanket from @bedsurehome (she’s never without hers) and whilst my anxiety is still there, it’s made a big improvement. From being able to sleep better to feeling a little less anxious, I don’t know why I haven’t used one sooner. ☁️ 💙☁️💙☁️ #anxiety #weightedblanket #ukparentblogger #staysafe #mentalhealth #itsoktonotbeok #nostigma #mentalhealthmatters #blogger
      I’m not going to lie, I’ve found this past wee I’m not going to lie, I’ve found this past week difficult. My anxiety has been spiralling and I’m honestly struggling with isolation but there’s nothing wrong with that. I’ve come to realise that it’s completely ok to feel out of control, it’s ok to have days where you struggle because we are human. It’s ok to no be ok! I think it’s important to realise when you are not ok. Take some time out for yourselves, if it’s just 5 minutes in the garden with a cup of tea, reading a book, taking a bath etc. Those moments of down time are important, it’s a little bit of self care that we all need right now. If you chose to stay in your pyjamas all day, that’s ok. If you can’t muster the energy to do anything other than showering in the morning, that’s ok too. How you cope in this situation is completely your choice and you shouldn’t feel bad or ashamed for it. My mantra has been “Safe at home, not stuck at home”, and each day I’m trying to remind myself of that. How are you all getting on? 🌈☀️🌈☀️🌈 #lockdown #selfcare #april2020 #blogger #mentalhealth #anxiety #itsoktonotbeok #ukparentbloggers #blogger

      There’s a lot of us taking on the task of home s There’s a lot of us taking on the task of home schooling with the current school closures in the UK. This morning Little Legs put on her school uniform (because I didn’t tell her she didn’t have to wear it for homeschool 🙈) but now we’re getting into the swing of things. I spent the weekend planning activities and work sheets for the week, now I have the tiniest glimpse of what it’s like for teachers and it isn’t easy. 📚 🍎 👩‍🏫 🏫 How are you all getting on with your first day? #ukparentbloggers #homeschool #schoolclosed #homeeducation #isitginoclockyet #learning
      This week I’ve discovered a love of Yoga, I’ve This week I’ve discovered a love of Yoga, I’ve attempted to get into it a few times over the years but it’s just never really clicked. Until now ⠀⠀ Perhaps it’s because I’m more determined or that I’m just generally more capable than I was before I started my weight loss journey? I’m just over 5 stone down and I’m feeling much more comfortable in my own skin. Either way, I’ve discovered a new hobby that I really enjoy and I can also add it into my fitness regime 🧘‍♀️🌸💪🌏 ⠀⠀ #yoga #yogalove #yogagirl #yogajourney #motivation #fit #weightloss #instafit #fitnessmotivation #motivation #weightlossnotivation #workout #weightlossjourney #getstrong #gethealthy #instafit #instafitness #ukparentbloggers #blogger #lifestyleblogger #fitnessjourney #thisgirlcan
      Of course Little Legs forgot to tell me about Craz Of course Little Legs forgot to tell me about Crazy Hair Day at school, so we had to improvise with coloured braids for mermaid hair🧜‍♀️💜💙💖 #mermaidhair #mytinytribe #littlefierceones #thefamilynarrative #thepursuitofjoyproject #pocket_sweetness #parentblogger #parentblog #letthembelittle #positiveparenting #minifashionista #minifashion #thisismotherhood #ukparentbloggers #crazyhairday
      The weather is a bit grim in Manchester today, it’s wet, grey and dreary ☔️ . I’m looking forward to those gloriously sun-filled, spring days and copious amounts of mini eggs! Is it just me, or are mini eggs a superior chocolate? There’s just something about the smell of them. Anyway roll on spring, I’m so over winter and all the mud it brings. How cute are these little bunny jars btw? I’m a little bit obsessed with them 💐🐰🌷🌸🌼🌻☀️ #springiscoming #spring #minieggs #minieggseason #springvibes #spring2020 #springiscoming🌸 #springisintheair #ukparentbloggers #cadburyminieggs
