Me, looking happy because the sun is shining (and simultaneously trying to cover up as much of my face as possible 🙈). It occurred to me recently that my grid full of generally positive stuff and pictures of running, swimming and cycling might leave people with the assumption that I have vast reserves of energy, happiness and health. In fact, a couple of years ago I spent a long time feeling pretty awful, and often felt even worse when I saw pictures that left me with the sense that everyone else was powerhousing through life while I was pretty much stumbling through my day to bedtime. I just wanted to point out to anyone feeling that same way that behind the sunny Instagram pics there are probably good days, bad days - and in some cases, maybe a lot of naps 😘. It can be easy to let self care habits slip in busy periods, and during the holidays I noticed a few of my old health niggles returning, which can make you feel as if you’ve taken a step backwards. So partly as a note to self, and partly for anyone else it might benefit, I’ve put some of the things that have helped me health-wise over on the blog. I’ve called it an armoury of wellbeing, and the back-to-school routine is my prompt to put it back on again 💙. If you feel you need a little boost, do pop over for a look (the link is in my bio). There’s always room for a little more kindness and compassion. 💙 Especially if that means being a little kinder to yourself. #itsokaynottobeokay And just like that, I have a child in High School....💫 Wishing love and luck to everyone starting on new adventures today 💛. And that’s pretty much a wrap on the school holidays... 💛 Feeling grateful for the big moments, the small moments, and all the ordinary in-betweens. #thebestweegang #summeroverandout Weekend baking and making 😋. #granola #avocadobrownies #deliciouslyella #glutenfree Home. It’s kinda pretty 💙. #livelocal Love my daily chats with this guy. 💙 At ten, he’s probably the most insightful person I’ve ever met. 💛 Today’s gem: ‘Brody (pictured ➡️) walks like a horse who thinks very highly of himself.’ 💙 Judging by the second photo, Brody’s definitely not impressed! ☺️
