One week / what a difference a week makes. This time last week I was stressed, shattered and feeling unwell. Que a nasty virus which knocked me for six for the majority of the half term break. This week I’ve been taking things slow. The boys are back at school, P has been at my mum’s for three days {8:30-4} and I’ve had the space to catch up, be productive and take some time out. And wow do I feel better for it {even with P being permanently latched to me every night}. Not every week will be this calm but it’s been nice to finally see the wood for the trees and I’ve felt more like myself than I have done in a long time. I’m more patient, less panicky and feel like a better mum. Looking forward to a day with P tomorrow {baby swimming!} and a weekend with my boys 💙💙❤️ #selfcare #mumlife #mumpreneur #selfemployed #goodweek #productive #business

Night 🌑/ Penny is currently nursing alllllll night. Last night I stumbled across a website about gentle methods of night weaning and a few things struck me. The reminder toddlers still need/like a lot of comfort {especially when you go back to work}, that night nursing is still very much the norm at this age and even though the site was suggesting methods of weaning it also reiterated the fact that everything is for a time and a phase. I’ve always let Penny take the lead with naps and feeds and although the nights can be long and tiring my gut is telling me to stick with it and let her be my guide. They’re only little once and all that 🙂 #trustyourinstinct #breastfedtoddler #nightfeeds #nightweaning #onlylittleonce #Ilikethecuddles

R&R / So it appears I have hand foot and mouth disease 😩 a viral infection causing painful ulcers in and around the mouth and red rash on hands and feet {not to be confused with the animal version!} The boys have had it before and it should clear up by itself within 5-7 days {I think I’m on day 2 or 3}. I’m hoping P gets some immunity through my milk! Not really a surprise. These things tend to hit you when you stop - a physical manifestation of the stress felt over the last couple of months. A stark reminder to slow down and rest. To take better care of myself and practice what I preach. So on that note I’ll be taking some time out this week to step back, rehabilitate, spend time with the little people and start to put processes in place for a better balance going forward. In theory!
