What mums really want for Mother’s Day that doesn’t cost the earth 💐 Honestly the most important thing to me is some thought & effort put in; that you’ve paid attention to what matters to me & taken onboard things which you know I love & appreciate. Maybe I’m just easily pleased but what do you think? Did I miss anything? #MothersDay #mothersdaygift #mumlife

I’m not against self-tanning if I CHOOSE to but I haven’t felt like I HAVE to for a very long time & I’m so glad cos it did take me a while to feel confident in my own skin #mumstyle #OOTD #summerlooks #paleskin #selfconfidence

World Book Day ootd with my crew - World Book Day is actually a charity that enables 15 million children in the UK & Ireland to receive the £1 book token each year, which you need to redeem before 23 March. So if your little one is lucky enough to recieve one, make sure you it along to your local store or library to redeem it. Reading for fun is the single biggest indicator that a child will grow up to enjoy a happier and more successful life so anything we can do to encourage that as parents is amazing! #worldbookday #OOTD #letsgetdressed #mumlife #dressup

Name someone more determined to make something work than a mum trying to create a better life for her kids? When I started posting publicly on social media 8 years ago, it was to stay connected to the outside world when I felt very lonely at home with a newborn. Fast forward 9 months when maternity leave was almost up, the femcare company I had been working at before baby arrived, made it impossible for me to return. Shortly after, baby number 2 arrived & during lockdown my social media following started to grow. Along with doing some freelance marketing work to earn a bit of money, I could see there was an opportunity to commercialise what I was doing on social media. I put all my energy into building a platform where brands I was already loving and using might want to work with me, although there was no guarantee this would work! The sacrifice that comes with this when you’re doing it to be around for your kids during the day, is working every evening, 7 days a week. This is absolutely NOT me complaining, it’s the trade-off for a lifestyle that I’m so grateful for, but it’s the side of content creation as a parent that I think goes unseen. And what that means, when someone asks me ‘what do you do once the kids go to bed?’ is, tidy up, work then go to bed. I don’t really have many hobbies, but thankfully I enjoy what I do & hopefully you enjoy the fruits of that labour 😅 Anyway, I’m always going to be honest with you guys, I don’t filter my life to make it any more interesting than it is & this is what my evenings look like ❤️ I’d love to know what you do once the kids go to bed. #eveningroutine #speedclean #satisfyingvideo #mumlife #contentcreator #dayinmylifevlog
