In all honestly I've not been the world's most chilled person lately.
I've got a three year old who is still getting used to a change of hours and a new pre-school whist potty training and slowly giving up his naps. I've got a one year old who has two molars coming through at once and who seems to be nocturnal. I've got a house that never seems to stay tidy for more than five minutes and a washing basket that refills faster than I can empty it. Through exhaustion from a lack of sleep and a general busyness from having two young children, I seem to never be able to stay on top of my work and feel like I'm always taking time away from Adam, who at this time of the year is crazy busy on his own business.
I'm definitely developing a bit of a hate for the clock, which just seems to keep speeding up! But when you're a busy Mum, hiding under the duvet for the day just isn't an option (sadly) so I've been working on focusing on the things that bring me back up when it all feels a bit much. Here are my top ten tips to de-tress in less than ten minutes!
