LONG WEEKEND BREAKFASTS // When the weekend starts on Friday, make French toast for the family. Ours Marnie’s. We’re off to the coast for a couple days of sea air. I’ve also made @young_gums cheesy courgette muffins for on-the-go lunches for Marnie (so we don’t need to eat lunch at 1130am with her!). Love this new recipe book for ideas on ‘family food’ rather than ‘baby food’.

HEAD DOWN, HEART OPEN // While I love the community I’m lucky to have on here, I haven’t felt compelled to share as much recently. Partly because something I’m working on requires (annoying) secrecy and a hell of a lot of time. Partly because, during my rare downtime, I’m living my 2018 mantra (I set one every year) to #bepresent. And also partly because I just don’t have any steam left in the tank after all the above (because, #mumlife). I will post more frequently again soon so please bear with me, but on days when the obligation to hit ‘share’ becomes too overwhelming, I’m reminding myself that it’s OK to keep your head down if the focus of your energy is something that opens and fills your heart. Sharing my share philosophy in case it resonates with anyone else feeling a bit hot & cold about social media. ❤️

LISTEN // Something I’ve been thinking about a lot the last few days. How often we ask questions but don’t hear the answers. Wait instead to speak back. To speak louder or smarter. As a journalist at the beginning of my career my training was all about asking questions, but today content is faster. Follows and likes compete with circulation for the leading criteria of worth and impact. No time to reflect, percolate, articulate. Pressure instead to respond, speak, make your own vibrations. Speak here, speak now, ‘hear hear’ but never really hear. Events this week reminded me that asking does not always mean listening. Someone I respect, someone who really took the time to hear me, took their life. I didn’t stay close so didn’t feel worthy of the sadness I felt, but I questioned if I took the time to hear back. Swore to listen better. Gathered with old friends in a room where every single person was listening. Sense of hearing, skill of hearing, awareness of hearing, heightened in a room full of heavy hearts. I’ve been listening for something tangible I can do. Some way I can remember always to listen. In the supermarket, the park, the gym, online, my ears fell on disingenuous ‘how are yous’. There. One phrase we can change to switch off autopilot. New words to elicit truer exchanges. ‘Tell me about...’, ‘Thoughts?’, ‘I’d like your advice / opinion’. Self-reminders that we only stop learning when we stop listening, and we only stop teaching when we stop hearing. Our peers are our greatest teachers. My appetite for answers is restored.

HUSTLE WITH HEART // Although it’s far from flattering, I really love this photo I stumbled on while labelling exercise demos for an ongoing project. It’s an accidental shot capturing a moment when I’m distracted by Marnie playing in her jumperoo. Before I lose you, THIS IS NOT A PARENTING POST. Hear me out... I’m really fortunate that my work has many different aspects, and that I genuinely love all of them (well, except account keeping ), so sometimes the various branches of my career feel like lots of mostly brilliant sometimes chaotic side hustles. Like any career, the hustle can wear you out if you don’t make time to switch off. So as I was hustling away, and flicking across this pic, it dawned on me that the hustle only matters if your heart is full in other respects. A full heart requires people to whom you can give love and from whom you can receive love (feels a bit like that marriage officiant speech by Joey in Friends). In my life there are a handful of people who can make me smile this big ☝, and my part-time maternity leave has reminded me how healthy it is to prioritise those people. Big people. Little people. Any people who make you feel like the best person you can be. So in a world where the work/fitness/‘gram hustle is applauded, maybe all the above should be a side hustle to our people hustle. Maybe then our hustle would have a little more heart. Love to all you hustlers ❤️.

MUMDAY MADNESS // It’s always a little mad, but it’s always my favourite day of my week. I knew I’d made a lot of great connections by teaching my Sling Fit class, but it’s great to see Marnie’s friendships blossoming too . Thank you to everyone who has joined, whether it was a recent discovery or you’ve been with me since the beginning. Your commitment has been incredible (I know these babes make it difficult to turn things around sometimes), and I hope you feel stronger, fitter and happier for showing up and sweating with us. A few cheeky snaps from class today in my stories. Keep slinging, cuddling & moving with those beautiful babies! Autumn timetable announcements coming ASAP!
