Day Off!

What do you  on your day off? Thankfully today was beautiful, always helps. sun shining, leaves turning golden and being blown off the trees in the breeze.  The only place I wanted to be was outside. But how do you balance that with family life, three loads of washing to catch up on, dishwasher, bills to pay and only school hours to fit it all into. You don't!
​Sometimes you have to make a choice. There is never a day where you don't have to do family things if you have a family.  Always a chore, always an errand. 
​Up until recently it felt that being tidy, organised and exhausted was the most important thing, to prove that I was a good mum and wife. 
​It is false ideology, how can a stressed exhausted parent with no time for themselves be a good parent. 
​'Me time' is what gives us the strength to keep going, to love more, care more and give our very best to our families. So next time you have a day off or have a child free moment do something nice for yourself. Whether its a coffee with a friend, a catch up with your favourite soap, a yoga practice or like me a walk in the sunshine, do it! Do it, do it, do it, you deserve it.
