Give me a shout if you need help!

And just like that, when I thought I had it all figured out, I am back to square one!⁣
⁣
At the beginning of this month I really thought I had "life under control".⁣
Waking up early, yoga practice, clean house (I've been following method), meal planning, I had even started posting on here more regularly!⁣
⁣
Then our family welcomed and it all went out of the window 😬...⁣
⁣
To be fair she is a star - sleeping more than my kids, has now figured out where to go potty (most times), mastered sitting down and garden recall (we haven't been "out out" yet!).⁣
⁣
But sleeping on the couch every other night (it's a team effort!) and being alert to every sound and movement is taking a toll on me I have to admit...I co slept with my kids so I am having a hard time finding the courage to leave puppy alone at night!!!⁣
⁣
What would you do if you had a dog: would you let them sleep in your room or sleep alone?⁣

It's almost month end…how are you all doing with your new year resolution?⁣
⁣
Mine was to make time for myself at the beginning of the day, get up early, do some gentle exercise, meditation and reading. ⁣
⁣
Same resolution for 2021 really, when I started in full swing then got lost sometime in April 🙃…⁣
⁣
I am enjoying my mornings so far. ⁣
⁣
I love the 30 days of yoga programme with and I am so amazed at how my body feels different without having to sweat or do strenuous exercise. I feel stronger and more aware of my body...⁣
I hope I'll be able to fit my morning exercise routine around puppy...we are bringing her home today!⁣
⁣
What about you? Did you have a new year resolution and did you manage to stick to it?⁣

What’s on the horizon for you next month?⁣
⁣
(I can't believe it's almost February!)⁣
⁣
For me, I’ll be juggling office work and my Neal's Yard business as usual, but I also have something new and exciting to look forward to, which was inspired by my kids' love for bedtime stories / reading.⁣
⁣
I will share more with you shortly but in the meantime...can you guess what it is? ⁣

Can you help me? I’m running a poll on the best day of the week for some very important market research (which we are running in our household 😁), and I’d like for you to weigh in. ⁣
⁣
If you ask me, Friday is the clear winner: I have a day off office work and I get to sit on the sofa and snuggle up with my children while watching a movie!⁣
⁣
Cast your vote for the best day of the week below!⁣

Do you find beauty in the ordinary? Every morning, as soon as I walk downstairs, I drink my coffee the same way: americano (Italian friends please don't cringe!) white (oat milk), in the same location (bar stool in the kitchen), at the same time (5.10 am) while I listen to a short guided meditation on the app... And I LOVE it. ⁣
⁣
Do you love routine too?⁣
