🇨🇭 #Weekenders with the boy aren't the most relaxing, but at least we have a comfy bed for the five minutes of respite I am allowed on each trip. 🇨🇭 Morning's adventures on stories. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ #visitgeneva #inlovewithswitzerland @beaurivagegeneve #travelwithkids #singleparenting
Should be doing bedtime right now but Jack is colouring so neatly and quietly I don't want to disturb him. He wrote his name today at preschool, fairly certain the kid's a genius. Four is my favourite age so far by miles, we are a proper team now (most of the time) and he's still relatively cute to look at and says words slightly wrong so they sound adorable, while also schooling me on the regular about basic science I should definitely know that he's learnt on Cbeebies etc. So, if you're deep in the newborn sleeplessness, terrible twos or threenager hell, I promise you it will get better (for a bit, at least.) ❤️ ❤️ PS. Took this pic this morning and will upload Jack's edit of it to stories now. ❤️ ❤️ #spoc #singleparenthood #singleparentonlychild #singlemum #frololife
If your mind is full of 1001 things you need to do, you're juggling work, legal paperwork, school applications, childcare, finances and family issues, and you have forgotten how to take pleasure in everyday moments (👋) let your child reteach you the art of mindfulness, of enjoying life in the present, and the absolute necessity of toasted marshmallows on a frosty night. Endless love for my absolute rock(star). So much wiser than me already. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ❤️ ❤️ #frololife @frolo_app #singleparents #singlemumlife
Never ever shop in #Paris. Especially with 🍷 as your guide. But if you DO, head to #Marais & check out the vintage and thrift shops for amazing second hand steals. #weekending sans the kid with @nsl86 in my favourite city ❤️❤️❤️
I don't usually post much about mine & Jack's everyday life, because WHO CARES? But my lovely friends at @frolo_app have asked me to share a day in my life on their stories today, so if you want to see me doing exciting stuff like making breakfast, walking to work, eating lunch etc, hop over to their stories, or mine. ✌️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ #frololife #singlemum #singleparentday #singlemums #lifewithkids #workingmum
Happy Halloweeeeeen 🎃 celebrating #gothmas with my number one as always 🌟 #Halloween
🎃🎃🎃 When you've eaten all your #Halloween treats 3 days early, your face paint is a little tired-looking and you're sooooo sleepy your eyes can barely stay open, but you think you've got one good 'trick or treat' left in you. Shout out to my spooktacular #skeleton who I love down to his funny little bones (whether visible or not). 🎃🎃🎃
#whatmamaworemonday = this red velvet #bomber that I found in #Paris this weekend and intend to wear everyday for the rest of the season. (Under an umbrella, obviously.) ❤️ ❤️ #whatmamaworemonday with @georgina_patiet & @heyitsromeca ❤️ ❤️ #wiwt #mummyblogger #ootd #mondaymood
Some people's idea of a wellness weekend is a spa break and a full night's sleep. Mine is 48 hours in #Paris with @nsl86, non-stop laughter, wine, cheese, a slice of culture, 10 minutes of sleep and beaucoup d'amour. ♥️♥️♥️ ♣️ ☯️ ♠️ #laughteristhebestmedicine #roomwithaview #parishasmyheartforever #bestweekendever #singlemums #needabreak #pavillondeslettres ♣️ ♠️ Literary guide to Paris coming soon to #whatson by @countryandtownhouse
