FEEL THE FREEDOM

Over the past week all three of my children have been unwell. Thankfully back on the mend and back to School tomorrow. Yesss finally routine. If I rewind back three to four years ago I would not have been able to of stayed home with them due to working full time.

Taking this fab opportunity up almost three years ago (wow time flies when your having fun) has saved me this past week. What with you ask? Well I didn't have to call in sick, take annual leave or not get paid. I didn't have to ask my boss for the day off. Fab right?

What have I learnt over the last few years, that life is so short and that we deserve to enjoy every moment of it. I Choose FREEDOM, freedom to be there for my babies when they need me most, freedom for myself to learn to love myself in the sense of health and fitness (still figuring this one out), freedom to get the family and go see the world and freedom to be ME. What use are we to anyone if we shut down from the inside out?

I made a promise to myself that this year one goal is that I get at least on morning to myself and treat ME with a facial, retail therapy, afternoon tea with a friend something I haven't done for me in a while. What are you planning on changing this year?

Have a fab week and don't forget to be YOU. xx

 
 

MUMPRENEUR ON FIRE

Today was a day full of mixed emotions, nerves and excitement.  So it was a mad rush getting up to Waterstones in Nottingham, especially in the Friday evening rush hour traffic.  Before travelling up there we had to wait for Stavros to return back to school from the pantomime. Yep they were a few minutes late as stuck in traffic.  We drove up there they all fell asleep in the car and woke as we arrived five minutes before it was due to start, which was shocking especially when we were sat in stand still traffic due to an accident at one point.

As we walked to the top floor of Waterstones we were welcomed by the lovely Estelle and Leona (sisters and founders of MIBA)..

OMG!! I cannot believe I am at the Best Selling Mumpreneur On Fire book launch, not any book launch but one that I have co authored with 19 other women, their stories are so inspiring and I am so honoured to be in this with them. I've never been to a book launch before, but I could get used to it lol. 

So we were there for a couple of hours, had the amazing Richard McCann as the guest speaker, wow what a guy? The author of the lost boy, I remember reading his story years ago and there I was chatting to him, I can't wait for the movie to come out. So the evening went on with us mingling with the guests and yesss signing copies of the book, eating canapés and drinking champagne.  Wow it was such an experience and I got to cherish this memory with the four most important people in my life. They had so much fun, definitely socialites my children are.

What Mums In Business Association (MIBA) stands for and represents is just what this night was about, us mamas building an empire for our families and they get to come along the journey with us. Ladies don't forget to stand strong, believe in yourself and go chase those dreams and don't forget to be YOU.
