Today I got to enjoy my breakfast while it was still HOT, I was ALONE and GUILT FREE 🙏 I didn't have to share it with a 2 year old who insisted she was hungry even after I'd spent an hour trying to force her to eat her own breakfast. I also didn't have to protect my hot mug from my 5 year old jumping about as if a crab had crawled into his shorts! (In fact...this morning I enjoyed a hot tea AND a hot coffee!)

Granted on THIS occasion I'm about 3500 miles away in Singapore for work...but it still felt good!

Do I miss my kids? Absolutely. More than anything, however I also know how important it is to factor "me time" Into your life, especially when you have kids.

As mothers, so many of us find it hard to leave our kids to do something for ourselves.

We have this "mummy guilt" that seems to kick in.
The inner voice that says "what if they miss me? What if they need me? I already spend too much time away from them with my work, so I want to spend every possible minute I have at home with them so I don't miss out on their life!"

My own mum has 4 kids and I often dont know how she managed. She's an incredible mother and today is her birthday! But growing up she was often exhausted and refused to take time out for herself. I wish i could reverse time and let her have some of that time back to enjoy life a little more.

I know that to be able to give the best version of me to my kids I need to be able to be present when I am with them and not running on fumes..so today..even though i am here for work and locked up in a hotel, I enjoyed my time alone. I let my soul catch up with my body and spend some quality time with ME doing what I wanted. And for that i am grateful!

It's still a work in progress, but more and more these days I am making time for me.

My wish for you is that you manage to find those pockets of "me time" too. ###.


A night off from scratching our brain on what to cook! I'm not sure who was more exited...the kids or their parents!
