Our world has stopped spinning … how will we cope as parents !

We are still a parent !

Our job as a parent still continues with a massive change in routine for us all with, the added pressure of uncertainty of what is going to happen next, and the juggle of childcare and work in a completely unusual way.

I’m so excited to share Issue 8 (Balancing Life as a Mum Edition) this May and all of the incredible women and small business that I have been so lucky to work with for this issue.

How I am managing to care for myself at this time of coronavirus lockdown

Hey everyone. I really hope you are all keeping well and safe in this crazy time. If you have been following my blog or my Instagram then you will know how important I feel it is to look after your mental health.

What in the world is going on?! Anyone else still feel like pinching yourself and hoping it's a bad dream?

Mindfulness - accepting the moment

Mindfulness is all about being in the present moment, focusing on the here and now, practicing awareness. But what if it's all a bit shit? Hard? Emotional? What if right now doesn't feel very good? Well that's what a lot of us are experiencing right now. We are experiencing uncertainty and change on a mass scale. So how can mindfulness help?

Top tips for looking after our mental health navigating the emotional roller-coaster during this uncertain and unsettling time

Wow! – the last couple of weeks has been an emotional roller-coaster and a half – today alone I have felt intense anxiety, overwhelm, frustration, anger, exhaustion, joy and love – and we are definitely nowhere near the end of it all!

Tea and Cake

In these strange times, there’s one thing that can be guaranteed to life your mood. Tea and cake. And technically, if you have older kids with you – cooking is an educational activity they are unlikely to moan about if they can lick the bowl.

Self care during a pandemic

Self care isn't my strong point, or at least not the typical beauty treatment, shopping trips and exercise regime type isn't anyway.

Parental Self Care in the COVID-19 outbreak

As a busy parent, self-care often slips to the bottom of most of our to-do lists. But taking care of yourself really isn’t a luxury. It’s essential. And during this challenging time, when children are home and stress is running high, it’s more important than ever.

We’ve all been thrown into this state of flux without much time to prepare mentally. It can feel overwhelming and anxiety may be at an all time high. Finding time for self-care is especially important during this time of uncertainty to bring some calm into a chaotic situation. You are worthy of time out and carving out those small chunks of time will give you a boost and help you to keep a positive mindset.
