The 12th was our 2nd wedding anniversary!

I still remember the day well! 👰‍♀️💒💍

I felt amazing and it was lovely having all our family together!

We had a quite day as we’d been so busy in the weeks before.

But it was perfect for us!

Are any of you married? How long have been married for? Or do you have a wedding coming up soon?

I’d love to know and see pictures! I love a good wedding!

The first week of October was also crazy busy!!

My daughter turned 3, we had a soft play day, and a Natural History Museum day 🦖🦖🦕🦕

She really enjoyed the Dinos…

Few days later my husband turned 33! As they where both poorly we didnt get up to much just a nice family day at home!

Any birthdays recently for you? How did you spend the day?

So 15th September was my 30th birthday! I was 💯 percent spoilt!

My husband 🤵‍♂️ surprised me with a visit to Warner Brothers Studio! 🥰😘

I had an amazing day and then dinner with the rest of my family! It was a very long day and I was soo tired the following day 🤣

Have you guys had any exciting dates recently?

Good Morning!

Its been a while, apologies! Life has been a bit of a rollercoaster the last 4/5 weeks.

My daughter has been poorly again 😭😭 and still has a cough (not covid). My husband has also been poorly 😭

Ive been doing my best to look after both of them, work still, keep the house ect and now I’m getting poorly… 😞😭

We’ve had a busy few weeks too, I’ll share some of those memories over the next few days/week.

Hows everyone else been?

So the weather held out yesterday ☀️☀️

So we made it to the zoo on my day off. 🐒🦍🐘🐯🦁🦛

Iris really enjoyed her day out. I hoping this journey means I can have more days like this with the little lady!

How have you guys all spent your week so far? 🤔

We should all remind ourselves of this from time to time. Things don’t always go as planned but you’ll reach your destination in the end! 🥰

Sorry for my radio silence recently. My 9-5 has been busy and the last two week have been crazy! We camped the first week of August with lost of family and Iris picked up a cold which led to the second week of a very very poorly baby and a very tired mummy! 😭😭

She is on the mend and much much better now! I’ll start increasing my posts again and getting back on track!

Hows the last two weeks been for everyone else?

Ok so lately Ive been procrastinating much more than normal. 🤔🤔 It got me thinking!?

I always say I’m to busy to do this or to busy to do that… but Im not always busy in the right sense.

I’m busy working my 9-5 job but I spending more and more time doing what needs to be done and procrastinating the rest of the time away - I never did this, I always worked above and beyond! I’m not sure whats up with myself at the moment.

How do you all deal with procrastinating on the daily? 🤔🤔

So we have all been poorly for about a week just colds nothing major. On our first walk out Little Lady wanted to “walk” Apollo after he’d spent about half hour running after the ball. As you can see he wasn’t up for it! 🤣🤣

As the weather improves, I want more days like this together having fun!

What are you looking forward to as the weather improves?

*Even though you can see she is doing her best to pull him, he wasn’t hurt or at any risk of being hurt.

Pressure 😖😣😫😰

Its something we all face on a daily bases.

We all face pressure from Friends, Family, Work an so on. There is pressure in nearly every if not all aspects of our lives.

We pressure ourselves into things or out of things.

Ive recently realised just how much pressure I place on myself be it from home life to work life. I expect so much from myself in such a short space time that I get annoyed when it doesn’t happen how I think it should or how I expect it to.

I started my journey in April 2021. I’m taking the process slow but in my head pressuring myself to go faster even when its not really possible for my current circumstances.

My journey so far is showing me how much “life” pressures us or makes us pressure ourselves.

I’m slowing changing this. I’ve started changing how I see my regular 9-5 at the moment and I can already see change there and cant wait to see how it changes the rest of my life! 🙂😊

How do you deal with pressure within your life? 🤔

6 years ago today… I was in sunny Italy at Lake Como it was beautiful! 😍 This was long before I married the man in this photo and long before my daughter came into the world. We only visited for the day but I’d love to take my husband back and take my daughter for the first time.

This path Im on will mean I can do that and so much more!

If money and time wasn’t and issue where would you like to go and who would you take? 🤔🤔

This is one of my favourite jumpers! 🤣 Can’t isn’t the right word for today though I just don’t want to… 🤣🤣

As its my day off and my car is still waiting to be fixed so we cant go anywhere and do adult stuff.. like the amazing food shop…

Today I will be a child! Me and the little lady will spend the day playing and causing mischief 🤣👩‍👧😏

Confidence…

Is something I lack but I’m working on it… 💪

I only post the very best photos of myself… normally taken by someone else.

Or I find a photo with someone else in to distract from me… 😔

I don’t wear make up often but if I’m taking a selfie then I’ll put some on “to make me look better” or I’ll use my sunglasses to hide my eyes😱

However the picture below is from this morning… Fresh 7am face, no make up, nothing… 😮

I’ve only been on my journey a few weeks now and can already see change within myself, pushing myself out of my comfort zone to grow…. Its amazing how much has changed in such a short space of time. 🤯

I couldn’t have done it with out support… I can’t wait to see more changes! 🥰

Working from home… 8-6 four days a week, sometimes its just me and the dog (he looks a bit sad on the stairs) sometimes I have company.. I’m hoping this journey shifts my working life to something more manageable with a young family to take care of. 🤞🏻🥰

Day off mid week - it was such a hot sunny day ☀️, I couldn’t see without my sunglasses. Took the little one to the beach 🏖. We had fun - she was scared of the water 😂 I want more days like this…

Waking up to our standard 9-5s… We all have to do it and I bet we all say the same things: “I wish I didn’t have to work today” “I’ve not motivation today”. I know I say these all to often…. Imagine waking up and these thoughts not even entering your head because you took action and change happened 🥰👍

She is one of the reasons I’m wanting to change our lives and started this journey. Whats one of your reasons?

Slow and steady wins the race as they say. It doesn't matter if you get there in 1 year or 10 years as long as you get there!

This couldn't be more true in times today. With all the social media. Things don't always work out how we picture it!

This was me before.. I spend all my time working, and there is never any time left to create memories!

We all worry to much about what people think of us - I do this all the time, this kind of thinking holds us back from achieving our dreams. It doesn't matter what others think, it matter what you think of you!

You can slowly replace old bad habits with new better habits to help your life change!

Even starting small, is still starting!

Don't spend your whole life helping others build their dreams, invest some time in your own!

Everyone says how they wish this or wish that. They want to change this or change that if they could! We control what we do and what we change! Make the decision to take action and change!

Most people will doubt themselves but don't let this stop you! I wouldn't have started my journey had I let doubt win! 😀

Starting this journey I didn't feel great or believe I was! But with each step my confidence grows and so will yours! 💪

We all say we don't have time, but we can sit and watch endless hours of TV. Take action to better yourself! 🙂

As I'm currently learning, we grow and become more confident when we leave our comfort zones! 🥰

I’ve hit so many hurdles already and have felt like giving up so many times. However I keep going, keep trying and one day I’ll get there! 💪

Excuses get you no where… actions will take you forward to where you want to be! 🧐

This journey is a marathon not a sprit! Keep going you will get there in the end! 😊
