The Quiet Corner Office: Combating the Isolation of Working from Home
For many working mums, the home has become more than a sanctuary for family life; it’s transformed into the corner office, the conference room, and the staff cafeteria. While the commute is unbeatable, the isolation can be as chilling as an overzealous office air conditioner. The silence of a home office, once a siren call away from corporate cacophony, may start to echo with loneliness. Your…

The High-Wire Act: Juggling Childcare with Career Aspirations
The tightrope is wobbly, the safety net is questionable, and the audience? Well, they’re your children, and they’re not just watching; they’re part of the act. Welcome to the modern-day circus of balancing childcare and a career. In today’s economic big top, living on a single income is akin to performing without a trapeze — thrilling for a moment, but nearly impossible to sustain. And while a…

Being a Working Mum
Being a Working Mum
Fun fact: All Mums are working Mums. Not all are employed but all are working. So really, I should’ve just called this post, ‘Being a Mum Because Working Never Stops’. Luckily for me, I work from home. Which always sounds very appealing to my other Mummy pals. Get up when you like, wear what you like, have tea breaks when you like… But the reality is so different from the expectation. It’s…

Much like you, I spent the best part of 15 years grafting, fighting and carving out a career for myself. Late nights in the office and far-too-early morning meetings, missed lunch breaks and unused ho...
Here is a cool article i found about how tough it is being a working mum!!!
I am so tired.
She is so curious about everything. Everything is new and exciting for her. What a wonderful state to be in. What’s difficult is maintaining that sense of wonderment yourself when trying to adult.
Today we have a wedding to go to. Will she be good? I have no reason to think she won’t be as she is always so good when we are out, except when she is tired. Naturally. No one is good when they are tired.
So we got that.
What we don’t have down at the movement is her feeding - she is not eating as much as she should be...it’s so frustrating as she wakes up at night and then wants to eat full meals! How can I fix that?
There is so much advice out there and, in my opinion, collectively all it does is serve to undermine our own natural parenting instincts. My solution is now to stick to one book on each subject (baby whisperer for baby behaviour and sleep and Weaning the Italian Way for weaning). I swear to god, I have lost the will to live when faced with the decision on just which book to choose. If you are like me and suffer from what they call “option stress” then wading your way through a results list on Amazon of the keywords “weaning” or “how to get my baby to sleep” you will know what I am talking about. There is something to be said for the age where all you had was your mother’s way of doing things taught to her by her mother and so on and so forth. I am not sure that the liberation of information in this regard is at all liberating.
So that is my challenge this week: eating and sleeping. Just the two most important things. So no pressure, right?
I'm Back - The Struggles of a full time working Mum.
I’m Back – The Struggles of a full time working Mum.
I first took up blogging whilst I was on maternity leave with my daughter Poppy. I had the time back then to take cute photos, plan my blog posts, edit etc. Now that I’m a full time working mum the blog has been massively neglected. Working full-time sucks, but it’s a must at the moment. (sigh) The thing is, I really enjoy blogging. It gave me some ‘me’ time, and also helped me relax. As a…
