  • I choose healing. One of my affirmations and intentions for the coming year, that I started working on a few months ago. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In my previous post a friend commented that I seem grounded, and that my mother ( a yoga teacher and massage therapist) probably inspired many of my practices. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Both of my parents definitely planted seeds of movement, awareness, plants and food as healing tools, nature as sacred spaces - they also planted many other seeds that grew ( without me realising I was watering them) and I have had to work through/am still working through them. Cutting back what I don't need, trying to pick the weeds, and keep the roots that I think are valuable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All of us have our own baggage, and what it looks like on the outside isn't always what it is. A path of healing is one you must walk alone. It begins with you. I am choosing this path so I can limit the baggage I pass on to my little one and also to, hopefully, pass on some helpful tools. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 'Healing in its essence is about breaking through the fears associated with life - fears that we don't want to face - and finding our own special inspiration, a vision of the future, that we know we're here to help create.' - James Redfield ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This candle is by @thelittlemarket I asked for the This is Humanity Candle for Christmas as for every purchase of this candle, the founders will donate $30 ($10 each) to three nonprofits working closely to meet the needs of separated families at the border: Border Angels, Kids in Need of Defense, and Casa Cornelia Law Center. Order yours today. They are lovely ❤️
  • Look it's my big face 😆 I've been on a 'self-care' kick this week, since my amazing workshop with @alex_elle last weekend. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hadn't even heard of the term 'self-care' until a couple of years ago. Let alone the idea to 'set personal boundaries' 😳 So all this has been fairly new to me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ More on boundaries later...but what I have learnt this week: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Working out with the husband that I can have 45 minutes each morning before he leaves for work has made so much of a difference. It basically allows me a mediation and/or a journal entry and time to shower and get ready - it better prepares me for my day - Getting ready and taking a shower changes my day. Sometimes Hubby used to leave and I was still PJ's and for the rest of the day I felt behind. - Taking time to take care of my skin makes me kinder to myself, take time with myself - Lighting a candle each morning at the beginning of my 45mins and blowing it out at the end creates a sacred little ritual of opening and gratitude - Setting up a space where my yoga mat can be out all the time means I get on it waaaay more. Even in 2-3 min spurts. - Getting back to journaling everyday has allowed me to communicate better and centre my thoughts. It also gives me a space to be thankful yet again for everything in my life. - Making myself tea everynight caps off my day with another token of care, another day, another job well done. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just some ideas if you're a stay at home mom or any mom struggling to find any time for yourself or ideas on how to give yourself a little love ❤️
  • May you always have laughter and food in your belly. May you always have love and kindness in your heart. May you be healthy. May you be happy. May you be daring and courageous. May you be safe. May you find peace. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 17 months today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Favourite words: 'bye-bye', 'up', 'mam' Favourite animal: horse Favourite animal noise: snorting like a pig Favourite books: Je Suis Petite, moi?, Ou est-le bébé?, Busy London, and of course Giraffes Can't Dance Favourite foods: salmon, peas, blueberries, apples, figs New word: 'Hi' but only said to 'mam' when she's on the toilet Sleeping: kind of 🤦🏻‍♀️ Nursing: 2- 2 million times a day Favourite games: seek-a-boo, colouring, puzzles Something that makes me laugh: my own farts
  • There are good days and bad days, and challenging days, and fun days, and in between days, and sicks days, and long days, and short days...and no matter how tired I am, I put him to sleep and I miss him so much I have to look at photos of his face. ❤️
  • He’s my lucky charm ❤️🍀 Little one felt well enough to get some fresh air today. He’s still all stuffed up but this elderberry syrup seems to be kicking this colds butt 🤞🏻 Hopefully it works for Mark as well as he’s the second man down. 😕House is coming together s-l-o-w-l-y but we are all loving it so far. What a difference to know we are not packing up and leaving right away ( well, at least coming back to the same place after we pack up in 2 weeks 😆) #weclearlydontlikesleep
  • Emergency! 🚨 Cuteness alert 😆 This week this little guy has had to put up with a move to a new house and mom being busy, unpacking and cleaning, which means less playing and more 📺 screen time 😬 So today we spent most of our day @cityowlets a play cafe we found about a 20 min walk from the apartment. He’d never seen so many toys in his life. He was a pizza maker, a grocery clerk, a carpenter, a homemaker, a vet, and a very happy boy! (He wanted to put this coat on btw, not even my doing 😆 ) He had so much fun. It made my heart full to give him the much needed break from unpacking and give me the reminder that play is what matters most, the busy work will get done eventually. ❤️
