Sensory {Play} / We had a fab morning at the @miniexplorerssensoryplay colours session 🤗🌳 just what the doctor ordered 🥰 #sensoryplay #messyplay #17months #littlemisspitstop #penny

{Glowing} / have you checked out this lovely lady’s podcast yet? Get Your Glow Back is one of my current faves {link in bio}. After a run of 4am wake up calls I’m feeling anything but glowing this morning but I’m determined to show up and start looking after myself and my well-being from the inside out. What better way to start the day than indulging in Madeline’s “A Year if Beautiful Eating” for inspiration over breakfast xx have I told you I’ve always fancied learning more about nutrition? @madeleine_shaw_ #getyourglowback #health #healthyeating #inspiringhealth #nutrition

My mind has an {illness} / It’s difficult to explain. I don’t mean to be all doom and gloom but something has to change. I can function in small doses, I may seem outwardly fine. But for the most part I crumble, in desperate need of space and time. My illness causes anxiety, damaging thoughts and panic. I experience mental and physical paralysis, I’m sorry if that sounds dramatic. You may ask me how I am and I’ll say fine, or offer me support or help which I will often decline. It’s a funny thing this illness, an inward battle to fight. Something I contend with everyday, never far from sight. But I’m still here and I can smile and delight while my children play. I just need time to rest. Space to un-muddle my mind my way. I’m sorry if I seem distant, sometimes that’s all I can do, to rest and get back to me. Then maybe I can help you too xx

{Life of a 4 Year Old} / This morning Ollie drew this picture of a dog with a tiny tail.... {which actually turned out to be a Golden Eagle 🤷🏼‍♀️}. All the way to school he said he was going to give it to his friend Jacob. This then changed to Albert by the time we reached the school gates. He then proceeded to give it to the first person he saw, Frederick. Frederick replied “thank you, you are now my best friend”. Ollie was, of course, delighted with this title and visibly beamed with pride. 🤦🏼‍♀️ #4yearold #questionableart #kidsart #fickle

{Struggle} / The battles fought by those with poor mental health are often incomprehensible to those with strong mental health. They are something we would not wish upon anyone. Sometimes it takes a full burnout for people to accept what you have been trying to explain all along. “I’m struggling” “please help me” “please support me” “I can do anything but not everything” “something has to give/change” “I don’t want to feel like this”. To accept our own battles is hard enough. To get someone else to understand seems impossible. You may not comprehend someone’s illness because, thankfully, it’s not something you struggle with. But you can support them by acknowledging and accepting they need help/space/time/support or just someone to say “it’s ok, you’re going to be ok, take all the time you need to heal, change what you can, you’re not a failure.” #mentalhealth #burnout #support #mentalhealthsupport @mindcharity @mentalhealthmates

Project 🚽/ another project we’ve recently finished is the downstairs bathroom 🤗 I’ve also added target stickers from Amazon to the inside of the loo to help the boys aim 🤣 🎯 #projecthome #makeahouseahome #bathroom #decor #jadeandwhite
