I have heard about mothers hiding around their home to eat treats they don't want to share with their children and recently, I admit, I have become that mum too! They won't find me in my wardrobe right? 🤫🤫 Have you actually tried the @haagendazsau salted caramel? you would be hiding it from the rest of the house too, trust meeee!!!! There’s nothing quite as sweet as these indulgent moments with @haagendazsau but Ssssh, please don’t tell the kids – it’s time for Häagen-Dazs ö’clock baby! #haagendazsoclock #haagendazsau #partner

It was a Freddie and mummy day yesterday. I love my big boys dearly, but going out with all three by myself proves to end in disaster 😅 so these sneaky one-on-ones are a nice change. We got to visit our reno and have our first playground post-iso play. 🤗

2020 has been a year full of things we never thought we would face. Everyone has their own story to tell from this year and it is so easy for it to consume us. But as I sat here scrolling back in my photos, looking at images from only two years ago, when I had one of the most memorable days of my life (that actually didn’t involve children). We were on a family holiday in London and on the second day, I woke up at 4am and hopped on the train to Paris. I was a little scared being alone as I am the most ‘stranger-danger-fearing’ person you’ll meet, but sometimes, you just have push yourself to get out of your comfort zone to accomplish things. I arrived in Paris, and having been there several times before, I knew my way around and headed to my hotel that I booked for a half day stay, to freshen up before my 11am appointment.
I can’t really describe how I was feeling that day, the only word that comes to mind is ‘surreal’. You see, I’ve only ever dreamt of going up those stairs, walking on the same carpet and being only a few doors away from my idol, Karl. In 2018, I got to visit Mademoiselle Chanel’s apartment. I walked up that iconic staircase and sat on her lounge, I absorbed every bit of what I saw and what I learned about Coco’s life. I peered out of her window that looks down to Rue Cambon. I could picture myself, only eight years earlier, standing on that road looking up at that very window, dreaming of the chance to see behind those walls, “one day”. That dream, lead me to start a blog when I left Paris, and that blog, lead me through different paths and networks over the years to be in that moment that I thought I would only ever dream about. 💕💕 So, as we go through one of the hardest years the world will face, I’d love to know if you have had an ‘highlight’ moment in your life that you’d like to share? Maybe you met someone famous, went on a trip of a lifetime, conceived a child after years of trying, started a business, or walked again! Let’s remember our highlights!

Somewhere between iso and pre-iso, I think this is what post-iso outfits will be 😝 #schoolpickup (I’ll get into finding these for you to swipe up in my stories)xxx

THANK YOU @readingeggs from the absolute bottom of my heart, for saving me in isolation (and beyond of course). I couldn’t give my preppy all the home schooling time he should have received (hello mum guilt) because I needed to spend a lot of my time with Aston (year 3) and every time I tried, we would last no more than ten minutes and one of us would end up in tears. Reading Eggs really saved my butt and kept Will entertained, encouraged and of course, he learnt so much along the way (mum guilt a little less). Guys, if you haven’t tried Reading Eggs, trust me, that it will be such a great gift to give your children for their education and screen time fun. #readingeggs #learntoread

10 weeks in isolation and I’m coming out with a clearer view of what I want on the other side of this. Love to know any new plans you have made or decided on. One thing for me is worry less about what others think, oh, and to buy more Australian made.
