Currently loving this shea butter mix I discovered not too long ago by @simplyamiuk. Already having an effect on my skin problems after just a few days using it. Not an ad, just a genuine recommendation from me because I love the product and was also quite impressed with the woman behind it! Support small businesses 💛

Ok so one of our kids didn't get the best grades on his school report. While the other exceeded our expectations and did brilliantly, top grades in literally every subject. I still remember those days when I used to get my school report and the grades weren't what my parents expected of me. I still remember the fear I used to feel whenever it was time to approach my mum with less than acceptable marks on my tests. I remember maths being the absolute bane of my life. I remember the terror and the shame I felt as I was being lectured about my failures. So when I became a mum I vowed that I would create an environment where my children can feel safe and never worry about 'school report day'. I wanted my children to know that as long as they try their hardest, we will always be proud of them regardless. They will thrive because we will accompany them on their academic journey. But even if they crumble on exam day, we will still be the supportive parents they can run to for comfort. Because I believe I can cultivate a culture of excellence within my household without making my children feel like failures. I can teach my kids about their own failures without making them feel like crap. A failed test, a failed exam, is not the end of everything. It's an opportunity to learn and try again. This is the safe environment I want my children to grow up in. As parents, we have learned that investing money, time and energy into your child's education - private tuition and countless hours working by their side... will only take them so far. On the day they get tested, it's down to them and them alone. So don't beat yourself up if things don't quite go to plan. Every child learns at his/her pace. Every child is unique. I love all my children for their various talents and abilities and they will always do me proud .

Dinner is served 🍽

It's our 12th wedding anniversary today! 07.07.07 the day I married my best friend and love of my life. I'm grateful for the journey, both what we've been through together and what's to come. Happy anniversary @romualdh I love you with every fibre of my being!

Without trying to sound too corny (!) these days I find satisfaction, happiness and beauty in the smallest things. It could be a new DIY project, a spontaneous kiss from my kids, a love letter from my husband, an afternoon outdoors on a sunny day... anything. I've chosen to really appreciate the simple things in life, even when there are voices within me telling me I have reasons to be stressed. I know this is a popular saying in Christianese but "I'm too blessed to be stressed" really has taken on a new meaning for me. Not that I will never experience stress (my hormones keep reminding me that this is simply not the case lol) but the point is to not focus on the things that bring on worry and doubt. I'm really keeping my eyes on what's going well at the moment. Yes there will be obstacles - I even said the other day "Just because I got what I prayed for doesn't mean there won't be challenges along the way" but my mindset at the moment is to try and enjoy the blessings, the good and the beautiful in spite of all the other little things that may occssionally put a spanner in the works. And trust me when I say it feels good to just relax and let God. Anyway, this is me looking pretty chuffed with my latest upcycling project. If you enjoy a bit of DIY like me check out my Home decor stories highlights, I'm working on a lot of things at the moment! 🧡🧡🧡
