Lockdown and Me

The minute lockdown began I could sense that things were not going to be the same as before. May May also possibly sensed this and we were thrust into a situation where we were unable to go out to play gyms as usual and see people. But it was a opportunity to have a hands on effect on our children’s development, such as doing more arts and crafts with May May, teaching her the alphabet using her favourite book from The StoryTime Lab daily to help with her speech. Zenayah has developed so much and started to roll onto her tummy as soon as you place her on her back! 


Thankfully the weather has been really good and we've been able to go out in the garden, go for walks, play with the bubble machine and have a kickabout as well. May May loves our kickabouts and the way she strikes the ball has surprised me due to the level of technique she has. I think I may have to get her into football training! 


At times Lockdown has been hard especially when every day feels the same and I have struggled to adapt to the change mentally. It has put a strain on me in regard to not seeing family and friends which is hard but I understand why it has to happen.


I have coped by having my partner and kids with me as all this time together has brought us all much closer. We have also had some great news which is we have a new home to move into! We are absolutely over the moon about this and we can’t wait to start working on our new home. Having your own home is so important in having the foundations for a settled life. 


I look at the Lockdown as an opportunity to spend quality time with my kids and I can't ask for anything more than this. I have also used this opportunity to study a Level 2 Business and Administration course so I can gain the skills for an Admin role in the near future. 


 Hope you enjoyed reading this.

Guest Post: Pregnancy Journey by Life Coach Sam

This weeks pregnancy journey is by Samantha Abraham . Her journey had me laughing and i'm sure you will do the same! I gave birth to my beautiful baby number 5 at the beginning of January this year. I have 2 boys aged 21 and 8 years as well as 2 girls aged 7&5. Baby No.5 came as a huge but pleasant surprise after having decided not to have any more and quitting my job to create a start-up. Having passed the stages of denial I finally take a pregnancy test... Reality sets in and my husband and I are now passed staring at each other in silence which goes on to last a couple of months.   This eventually moves into us having conversations about our worries and what we need to do to plan for this.... unplanned, untimely pleasant little gift with the power of scaring us half to death!!! ... At some point among the madness, we do the maths and work out as tradition would have it....our little gift really was a gift!!!...as in that we worked out th...

Studies Come To A Halt

So I have decided to give up my plan to go to university. Before you all scream not to quit, let me explain. Quick re-cap. I had planned to go to university next year to study Events Management, gain experience and open my own business. I started an Access course in November last year and was doing so well. Yes it was difficult but I wasn't expecting it to be plain sailing. I took 3 months study break when I had May-May and then started back. And the stress began. My mind went blank with every assignment, I struggled to understand information and I would stress myself out so much. This continued for 2 months and I thought how on earth will I carry on? I sat down with OJ and he said to me “Mics, why are you still going to university?” I told him I needed to go to open my business and gain more experience. “No you don't. Your business is up and running, you are gaining experience by booking small events. You're only doing this access course to get you into uni, ...
