Spending time as a family has been wonderful.
We’ve honestly had a lovely time but we are also allowed to feel ready for a bit of structure, routine and our own space.
The boys have got on so well. They have spent every single day together, they have nearly 4 years between them and they have done so well.
Have they had moments where they’ve bickered and annoyed each other? Of course! We’ve all had days where we’ve wanted a bit of space but they are still the best of friends and it’s beautiful to see 😍
We didn’t spend money on big days out, we didn’t always have an activity planned. Honestly, we just spent most of the time going on walks and letting the kids climb tree, find sticks and play with no plans.
No matter what you did over the summer, You did more than enough!
Myself and my husband had 1 week off over the 6 weeks and that was for our family holiday. A time to switch off and focus on us. The rest of the time we have worked incredibly hard to keep our businesses running, keep the kids entertained and do a few things for us.
There is a lot of pressure on the summer, it’s an impossibly hard thing to balance with work but we did it. Go and enjoy that coffee in silence … that exactly what I’m doing!
