  • A bit of a tricky school run this morning. My little kid is 100% like me when it comes to dealing with stress & anxiety. He's teaching me so much about who I am and how I in turn can help him. We both totally shut down when we're upset and don't talk for a loooooong time & then eventually implode/explode & sob it all out. But that happens only when we're ready. While we're silent we just need hugs. Over and over again. And no advice or impatience, just words "I'm here for you" and "your feelings are valid". • • My childhood was different. I was told that I was upset over "little things that didn't matter", I had to constantly suck it up & get over it. Probably why I'm in therapy now 🤔 • • #parenting #mothering #kidsteachus
  • Yesterday some heavy lifting, today some easy running. Yin & yang & all that. • • Also, November can stay. • • #jungleleggings #tikibooleggings #notanad #irunthisbody #novembersun
  • Unicorn leggings give you PBs. #fact • • Swipe left for 2kgs more which was a squat clean PB but the jerk didn't quite happen. #didntfallonmyheadthough 👊🏻 • • #olylifting #PBday #cleanandjerk #squatclean #liftheavy #liftlikeagirl #unicornleggings
  • Life with kids is noisy chaos with never ending tasks & chores & Lego pieces to step on in the dark. • • Some days it gets to me but most of the time I try to look for the funny side in everything. It helps. Humour ALWAYS makes things better. Even when you have to run outside at 10pm because it's started to rain & you forgot to bring in the laundry. Or you tell your kids for the 57th time on Sunday to finish their homework and on Monday morning they "discover" that they haven't done it. • • Life IS full of chores & repetitive "guidance", but everything gets done eventually and if it doesn't, it isn't the end of the world either. I want to high five the parents who stuff Pret sandwiches into their kids lunch boxes at 8 in the morning. Sometimes it happens! You forget to pack that nutritious meal for your little offspring. Just like sometimes your laundry gets rained on & sometimes your family has scrambled eggs with ketchup for dinner. • • "Nothing is funnier than the unintended humour of reality." Steve Allen (author, speaker, funny man) • • "Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine." (Lord Byron) • • #wingingit #parenting #dailylifehumor #lookforthefunnyside
  • Yesterday we had six 10-year olds in the house for 5 hours and today is all about recovery 😜 1.5 hours of yoga (I WILL eventually learn that my GoPro needs to be further away for my head to fit in the frame), then 12 km run, now porridge & Netflix in bed 👊🏻 • • #yogaday #evencrossfittersdoyoga #irunthisbody #imoveme

  • This was 10 months. Tomorrow will be 10 years. • • What can I say other than life's an amazing adventure & the two humans I've made are very excellent humans. And CUTE. • • #parenting #motherhood #boymom
  • 3.5 months of commuting to Canary Wharf left. I'm still raging about losing my perfect job there because of Brexit though and I would actually happily deal with the morning crowds if that meant I could keep my job. • • #brexitsucks #imgoingtomissyoulondon #brexitiscoming
