Our original schedule was mostly a success but also quite stressful managing it.

I mean, I can only imagine it would be easier if a) I wasn't the only adult in this house and b) I wasn't working from home as well.

I rewrote the schedule last night (after drinking a whole bottle of wine, I might add) but this morning I decided it was way more intense 🙈

So this is my updated version. Less crammed. More play. Happier children. A mama who is left alone long enough to reply to an email.

We start tomorrow.

How's your family schedules going?

Just had a gorgeous Skype catch up with my Queens

Just had a gorgeous Skype catch up with my Queens ❤

This friendship group was born from the different connections I had, and the result of bringing everybody together!

Some of the best friends I've ever had are people I met randomly, at a networking event or even on the internet.

There are people who I've known for so long, they've witnessed different versions of me as I've grown into who I am.

That said, if we've met, remind me of when and how we met.

Let's reminisce together ❤

Where did we meet, hun?

Still here x Massively overwhelmed by the stress

Still here x

Massively overwhelmed by the stress of my day job but that finishes on Tuesday and then it's time to have a much needed mental rest.

How I'm coping right now: - 8 hours sleep every night
- speaking to my close friends every day
- writing in my journal
- redefining my work/life boundaries verbally
- listening to music that lifts my mood
- downloaded Disney+ and now my Inner Child is happy 😂

I've shared a little more in my IG stories about what I'm NOT going to do during this time. I've been guilty of loading myself with expectations and pressure, but where I'm at right now is about prioritising my emotional and mental health.

It's a big responsibility but it's also only my responsibility. After a lifetime of learning how to stick up for and defend myself, I'm finally at a point where the need to protect myself from harm is greater than any external pressures and expectations.

I'm doing my best to take care of me.

How are you taking care of you?

I wrote this on my noticeboard in January, little

I wrote this on my noticeboard in January, little realising how it would actually manifest 😂

Sorry, people, this is on me 😩😂 With that in mind, now we have more at home (by force), what are you doing more of?

What are you reading?
What are you writing?
What are you watching?

I'm still reading "How to Own the Room" by @vivgroskop but I plan to find some fiction to read afterwards.
I'm writing in my journal daily, usually prompts set by my close circle @queenscounselhq
I'm watching @thecwriverdale on @netflix , but last night I signed up for @disneyplus so anything is possible now 😂😍 What about you?

Tell me about it ⬇⬇⬇ #athometogether #selfcare #copingwithcovid #socialdistancing #lockdown #brukdown #2020goals #isthismylifenow #introvertsdream #annikaspalding

My blessings ❤

It's gorgeous outside 😍 looking forward to when we can spend more time outside in it ❤

I've ordered some gardening gloves and tools so I can tidy up our gardens. This makes me laugh because I don't love getting elbow deep with the dirt and bugs at all 😂 but because I love the sun and want us to be out in it, mama has to do the work to make it nice.

Accepting any gardening tips from the pros ⬇⬇⬇
