The Daily Enrich

Dec 2nd …and today’s question from my book…Do you know what your child’s answer would be? Make these questions part of your family’s routine for daily moments of connection 💙 On sale for Christmas gifts… link in bio 👆 💙

I wrote this book to help families to share daily moments of love, laughs and connection.

With 365 days of questions, you can better understand your child's likes, dislikes, fears and motivations....and best of all - what makes them smile!

This 'window to their world' is priceless.

Reading the reviews on Amazon makes my heart happy. 💛

How positive affirmations turned my negative self-talk into something more positive and productive...

A few years ago, I was introduced to this incredibly simple, yet potentially life-altering exercise. If you struggle with negative self-talk, follow these steps to improve the way you talk to, and feel about yourself.

1. Write down 3 self-limiting beliefs. They usually start with phrases like:
"I can't..."
"I'm not good at..."
"I never..."

2. Think about them - are they even true? How are they limiting you? How are they damaging how you feel about yourself and preventing you from living life with confidence?

3. Rewrite these sentences, focusing on the positives:
"I am getting better at..."
"I am ..."
"I have..."

4. Display your new beliefs/ affirmations in a place where you can read them daily. And when you find yourself thinking/saying the negative things, quickly replace the words with the positive affirmations.

***Even if you don't believe your new affirmations yet, the power of thought is incredible, and you will soon shift your mindset to think and see yourself in a more positive way.***

I use positive affirmations everyday to curb the negative talk and general worrying. Over the years my affirmations have evolved alongside me, and now when I look back on the ones I wrote ten years ago, I can't believe how far I have come.

I hope this helps ❤️

Fee you mind, body and soul.

This feedback has made my heart burst! This book is for the kids (& the parents) because I know how tough it can get and I’m all about sharing the love 💙 If it can touch just one family, I’ve done my bit… 💛

Here is my book! 💛
This calendar style book, offers daily questions to share with your child or pupils, supporting you to connect regularly in a fun, engaging, zero-pressure way.
The questions cover simple philosophy, science, mindfulness, mindset…and a good dose of fun! All aimed at getting kids talking and sharing their amazing ideas, feelings, and their view on the world.
As a mum and teacher, I see the broad spectrum of children’s language and speaking skills. I know how hard it can sometimes be for children to express themselves and put their feelings, likes and fears into words.
As a family, we have found that the questions help us to understand our own children better, they have started some really exciting conversations and given me a much-needed window to their world.
I hope that this book will help countless families to stay connected with their children and teens.
Make it part of your family’s daily routine and get it now on Amazon…A special ‘Thank you’ to my parents and for being my sounding-board and for your feedback. I really appreciate you💙

Science shows that practising gratitude daily for just eight weeks changes brain patterns, for
improved happiness and greater empathy and optimism. 💛 Take just a few minutes each day, either in the morning or at night, to write down or visualise three things you are grateful for having in your life. 💛 You will quickly start to feel a more positive mindset, patience and appreciation for life and the people around you. So it won’t be just you who benefits!

A sunny day out with the little ones. These are the memories we made, post meltdown. I was so proud of our daughter for pushing though her anxieties and getting involved. Giving a big shout out to all
the parents and carers who live ASD 24/7.

It’s been a while! I’ve had a social break for the last few months as there were a few major things that needed my attention…mainly my little tribe, but also a project that has been over 3 years in the making – my first book! 💙
I am so pleased and proud to say that this week I published ‘The Daily Enrich’ with 365 days of questions to engage, empower and enrich families and educational settings.

Trying our best to expose our kids to the wonders of our big wide world 🌍
We started with a wander around town.

💛

When people hug for 20 seconds or more, the feel-good hormone oxytocin is released, which creates a stronger bond and connection between the huggers 💛
Touch is so important for our health and wellbeing, but the need for contact can sometimes be underrated.
Never underestimate the power of a quick hug, arm round the shoulder or simple words of encouragement for that matter.

Our latest project… questions to understand your children better.
We’re always changing and so too are our likes and dislikes, what motivate us, worry us and the things that smooth us.
Do you know what makes your child tick?
Watch out for our next product to add to your positive parenting arsenal… coming this month☀️

One of the many photos that shows the highs of our weekend …. but the reality of holidaying with ND children has tested our limits this weekend. Negotiating the changes in settings and routines, the overstimulation of new sights, smells and crowds. We tried our best to remain patient and see things from their perspective but sometimes i couldn’t help but wish things were easier.
I hope this doesn’t sound too negative, I just wanted to mention the unseen side of the Insta life (which I’ve not documented through photos as I was too busy chasing, comforting and at times, swearing under my breath)…and I know this will mean something to other parents in a similar situation.
I see you 💙

A tip of the hat to the amazing people building their own dream and making the world better, one small step at a time.

Flashback ⚡️ Hello 40💙
I can’t get over how far our family has come in the last decade.
Yes, life has challenged us beyond belief, but the downs have always been the start of something better. I’m really excited about this next chapter and am totally fuelled by the love of all the amazing people around me. Thank you🙏
A special thanks to for being our rock and always keeping a steady supply of love, food and ketones coming.

A moment of calm before a busy weekend.
I’ve been practising gratitude daily for the last few weeks and it’s helped me to feel loads better.
Did you know that practising gratitude (focusing on what’s wonderful in your world) can rewire your brain to think and feel more positive.
I’m living proof…give it a go… 💙

The best, most important thing I’ve done to combat my anxiety, overwhelm and low moods is working on my energy.
By setting my alarm to wake up before the kids, I’ve created time for self-care in the morning. It’s allowed me to have time to sit quietly and listen to/work through my thoughts and feelings.
Yes, I know 5am seems way too early. We’re all tired and desperately need the extra mins in bed, but believe me, this time is GOLDEN.
But…If we have a bad night with the kids, I snooze the alarm and sleep on - and I don’t feel guilty for it! I’m not in the game to tell myself off anymore! 😊
If you’re tired and full of feelings, why not take this counterintuitive step of getting up earlier and grabbing yourself some of this golden, quality time?! 🙏

Hello weekend, time for some lazy mornings filled with play, cuddles and talk.
These are our Busy Minds Conversation Cards, designed to get kids thinking, reasoning and sharing.
We love using them at mealtimes! When will you use yours?!
