Feeling physically & emotionally drained tonight. It’s week 5 of returning to work and each week we have had some kind of a struggle/ battle. From nursery asking to collect Riah due to coming out with a rash, to the child minder being unwell, to me having covid, to nael being unwell. Yet still working, doing the school/ nursery runs with unwell people and running a house. Life as a working parent is most definitely such a huge struggle and something that’s not spoken about. Unpopular opinion but I can’t help but feel a little envious of stay at home mums as that’s one thing they don’t need to stress or worry about. Right now I feel like I’m failing professionally as well as a mama. Five weeks is a long time trying to juggle it all without any support or child care😵‍💫. Keep me & my family in your duwas please while I have a pity party!
It will be quite some time until we get to go on another holiday or feel some sunshine, so I will be throwing it back to our first holiday in years! A much needed break from life although I feel like I’m already ready for another holiday. Post covid I feel like I get run down so quickly, both mentally as well as physically. A few days of socialising and I feel completely wiped out. I’m finding it so hard recently to find the perfect balance (if that exists) of work, being a mum, house work, family, social life etc. I feel like I’m constantly failing at all of them. I have no idea how people do it all with so much ease!
I don’t even know where to begin about this. My beautiful, caring and thoughtful @shamilaxo got these stunning balloons for us from @ballooning_memories : such a quick & easy interaction with amazing service. I love LOVE an afternoon tea so wanted something like that for the kiddies to enjoy. Overall I was really happy with the set up as I did it all myself and got things from charity shops or market place over time as I wanted to stay in budget. No regrets and the kids had the best time which is always the most important thing about a kids party.
We chose @studio96danceacademy as our venue. From the very first time that I went to studio 96, I knew this was going to be the place where I’d want to host a party. It’s completely child focused and there is something for everyone! From bouncy castles to paw patrol toys to baby sensory toys to ride ins! The children loved every second of it and so did we 😂. Suzanne (the owner) was so patient and kind the whole time. I pestered her for weeks and months because hosting is not my strong point and I panic. But she eased any worries for me instantly. Thank you Suzanne for being so caring and understanding ♥️
Last week we celebrated Nael & Riahs birthdays with some of their close friends! We got the cake from @cakeheavenuk and were not disappointed. From the very first message I sent her till the delivery of the cake, her customer service was faultless. She was instantly eager and was invested in communicating with me about what we can add and change to the cake. She spent so much time chatting to me and ensuring that I was happy with all the agreed details. As you can see, it is the prettiest cake ever!
Since returning from turkey, all I can think of is the next get away. Travelling with kids isn’t impossible of course, but equally it can be challenging and exhausting. From packing for extra two people, to organising snacks & medicines to planning the days around the children is the reality. Not forgetting the extra cost when travelling with kids. This is something I hadn’t thought of much so I need to start reading up on blogs and places to visit with kids so it’s a fun time for all. How have you found travelling with kids? What kind of places would you recommend?
