This weekend I got to pretend I was 35 again, managed to go out, out, two nights in a row, went paddle boarding in my knickers because I packed everyone’s swimmers except mine (luckily no photo evidence), cycled 25km with a hangover and 4.5 hours of sleep and ate my way through two BBQs. It has been a GOOD 48 hours. Thanks @hayleyensuisse for making me feel young again and @slowup.ch for closing the roads so I could sweat booze onto them and feeding me cheese while I cycled. I just need a weekend now. #motherofallmoves #motherofallweekends #stillgotit #lovewhereyoulive

⚡️🍋 NEW BLOG 🍋⚡️ Why dotted lines are an essential part of life and Advance Decisions are good decisions. ... Not sure what An Advance Decision is? Neither was I. ... But it could be one of the most important things you don’t know you need. Link in bio to find out why... 💛 (...and if that’s not enough to hook you there’s also some pooey pasta and eyebrow chat 😳)
Sod Gina Ford. Last night we trialed a new bedtime routine and it blew the usual witching hours out of the water. Literally. It went like this: Head to lake: swim 💦: run around and get really tired: eat (homemade!!) 🍕 on wet towels, swim again 💦, shower at pool 🚿, pjs on; home and collapse 💤. It was the best end to a frustrating day - and a great reminder that you can’t have the bath tub from heaven (#lacleman ) without the exhausting admin (because it’s a) in French and b) the Swiss love red tape like the Brits love a sunny day) #motherofallmoves #parentingtheshitoutoflife
This has been the week of saying ‘no’. I’m rubbish at it because I struggle to reconcile saying this little but powerful word and remaining a positive, life squeezing person. But I’ve realised it’s about making sure you’re squeezing the right stuff and not squeezing so much in that you struggle to breathe. And do you know what...I highly recommend it. It’s liberating. And usually the response isn’t nearly as bad as you think. People (not just little people) respect boundaries. They respect you protecting what’s important to you. So here’s to more time with my girls and the people I love most in the world this summer, to my writing and to a concerted effort to sort out my embarrassing French so my toddler doesn’t run more rings around me than she already does. And to occasionally stopping to soak in the view and the little big stuff that it’s so easy to miss if you’re too busy being busy. 🤚
When we moved to Switzerland we promised we would never tire of this view. We’re over a year in and I haven’t blinked yet... 💛😶
