In last week’s newsletter, we talked about how easy it is to get overwhelmed with everything that we have to do as mums or mumpreneurs. However, I also promised to help you avoid this with some recommended organisation systems. In this blog, we’re focused on the home and ways in which you and your family can get more organised and save time. Here are my top three systems.

1. Meal Planning

How many times have you hunted around in the fridge or freezer to find something for dinner? Or realised that you have a crucial ingredient missing? This can involve unnecessary trips to the shop that eat ...

What would happen if you said “No”? This month we have been exploring what you might be tolerating and allowing in your life and why you may feel unable to change that. Maybe you’re not convinced yet that you should make any changes. In this blog post, we’re going to explore the impact it might be having now, and what could happen if you put more boundaries in place and a stop to some of the things you’re permitting.

Is your family really benefiting?

We often think that by putting up with stuff and making everyone else a priority, we’re doing our friends and family a favour. However, that’s...

Why do we tolerate so much that isn’t serving us? In this month’s newsletter, we talked about the kinds of things we might be allowing in our lives that we wouldn’t have in the past. But having some understanding of how we’ve reached this point, can help us to not only make changes but to also avoid the same pitfalls in the future.

Here are three reasons why you might be tolerating too much in your life and that might stop you from moving forward.

1. It’s Too Hard To Change

Spend a minute thinking about changing an aspect of your routine. Notice your heartbeat quickening and maybe your mout...

In the last blog post, we looked at how you could set powerful intentions and improve your mindset so that you can achieve what you want. However, we also discussed how other things can get in the way such as not taking care of ourselves and getting distracted by all the other things going on around us. Here’s our run down of practical steps you can take to help make things happen and to achieve your goals.

1. Create Focused Time

Our brains can only focus for so long on one task. After that our productivity dwindles. By working with our brains, we can start to achieve more in the time we hav...

In the last blog post, we looked at how you could reflect on the last year. If you haven’t followed the step-by-step guide in that, then I would suggest you do that first before reading this blog post. The reason why reflection is so important is because it helps guide you in setting your goals for the following year.

You may have been surprised by some of the scores you gave to areas of your life. Without doing that work, you may not have recognised the areas which need more attention and focus to get you closer to your ideal next year. Take a moment now to review those scores and decide on ...

How has this year gone for you? Did it go too quickly for you, or does it seem to have dragged? Does it feel like a successful one or were you constantly battling obstacles? Either way you probably haven’t realised quite how much you have accomplished as a mumpreneur, a mother, a partner, a friend, an individual. I can guarantee it is more than you think.

Reflecting on your year gives you the opportunity to acknowledge those achievements and to learn from things that haven’t gone so well. In this guide, we take you through it, step-by-step.

What Have Been The Highs And Lows?

What goals did ...

It’s obvious that if we go through life trying to be someone we’re not, we’re never going to find true happiness. If you want to find the path to inner peace, you must identify who you really are and live your life in harmony with that. Otherwise, you’re simply living a lie.

But as mums and mumpreneurs, “who you are” can get a little lost. There’s always that dreaded moment when someone dares to ask you about yourself or what hobbies you have, and you can’t see beyond the mum duties that consume all your waking hours and some of those that you sleep too!

It can leave you with a feeling of sa...

You’ve decided on the life you want to create. You’ve even started making progress. But then life gets in the way. Many mums and mumpreneurs can struggle staying on track with what they truly want. You might lose your inner drive, your determination or find that your commitment waivers. It may all start to feel like an impossible, unachievable dream.

Once you’ve found where to start it can be difficult to keep going, there are so many distractions in life - family, friends, the latest boxset, a new shiny idea. They are all there to tempt and challenge us. The hardest thing to do is keeping fo...

You’ve figured out what it is you want and how you want your life to look but what do you do next? How do you start creating it? It can seem a long way off if your vision is very different to how things are now, but it all starts with the first step.

Start With The Small Things

One of the easiest ways to start creating the life you want is to begin with the small changes. You could focus on those that will make an instant difference to how you feel day-to-day. For example, if you’ve decided that you would like to improve your health and fitness, then you can start by simply swapping a coupl...

‘Mum guilt’ effects every mother, whether you’re pregnant or your child is 40, you never stop worrying about if you made the right choices or if they’re making the right choices. But just because it’s normally a part of motherhood, doesn’t mean you should allow it to consume you or take over your thoughts. Letting that guilt rule your life is not healthy so let’s look at some ways you can combat it.

Ask Yourself Why You Do Something

There are reasons for the decisions and choices you make. For example, if your guilt stems from going to work, remind yourself why you do it and what benefits i...
