You can also buy this soap in the cute little shop called @elm.norwich or at the Austin Austin website 🙌🏻. #pleaseletmeknowwhatyouthink #giveaway #madeinnorfolk #anyoneelsestillthinkaboutthatloo #wegotthissometimes #norfolkparents #norwichmums

📣NEW EVENT📣 Simon Hooper aka @father_of_daughters, the social media phenomenon of *only* 828k followers (!) is coming to Norwich😆. Snap up tickets quick 🚀! Simon is father to four girls: Anya (10), Marnie (7) and two-year-old identical twins Ottilie and Delilah. He is married to Clemmie Hooper ♥️ (aka @mother_of_daughters), who is, as you know, a midwife, a social media star and author of How to Grow a Baby and Push it Out. Most of us love a bit of honest parenting to make us feel better and Simon is the insta-king of that, bringing the dad's voice to the squares. He has now written his first book "Forever Outnumbered". I started following Clemmie last year when Will was tiny, and saw her husband had an account. How novel, I thought, a husband having his own account! Now I feel a bit invested in their family life (do you think he will still come if he reads this😝?!) Lots of people like his posts, and think his account is funny, other people google "father of daughters job" as they aren't sure how on earth one man can have a big family, a job and post about it. A recent study found nearly half of millennial dads (up to age 35) would be willing to take a pay cut to spend more time with their children. Simon's funny and honest take on life shows how he does this parenting malarky in his family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You’d love to see Simon? Come to @opennorwich Norwich Tues 22nd May 19:00, and hear him chat modern fatherhood, equality, paternity leave, the juggle, why he starting documenting family life and what his new book is all about. You can buy his book from @norwichstones on the night and he will sign it for you and pose for pics :) Early bird tickets are £13.50 including a seat in the front couple of rows (the seats will be reserved for you), General Admission are £15.00 plus a small booking fee for each transaction. Unreserved seating. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼10% of profits from this event will be donated to Norfolk maternal mental health charity Get Me Out These Four Walls SEE YOU THERE!!!!

Five steps to accepting school holidays as a recovering workaholic ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Moan for quite some months about how are you’re meant to do ANYTHING in the holidays, sometimes being quite tearful 2. Have useful chat with my mum / older people who wish their kids were still little. Switch mindset a little to be less stressed and a little more ca la vie and enjoy more moments with the littles 3. Get down and dirty with a deep breath, pen and paper and make a huge list of arrangements, child swaps, weekend work days, late nights (thank you, thank you lovely mum and friends) 4. Try not to feel all guilty about the help arranged so you can work. Work super hard to compensate in the allotted work time. 5. Talk to many women and find out it just actually is just really hard, working in the holidays. Ohhhh! Thought I was doing it wrong! Feel better. Operate on adrenalin and tea mainly to keep focussed on not dropping any plates. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you have any other tricks?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #newtoschoolholidays #nurseryiseasycomparedtopreschool #notmissingsomethingami #cantdoitalone #missedmyroutine #andgratefulforextratime #bitconfused #wegotthissometimes #freelancelife
So. bloody. close. Easter when are you done🤭 #houseisatip #nopointtidying #passthegin 💡📷 @hurrahforgin ❤️
Are you trying to flex your career around your family/ hobby/ life? Persuading your company could be easier if your boss comes to see @mother_pukka in action. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Mother Pukka is coming to Norwich 25 April at @theforumnorwich and will help show how flex working is better for business ✅🌈 (with a free bar from @nakedwines 🥂🍹) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve saved a couple of tickets for bosses who could make a difference! 💡Please message me💡 if you know someone I can invite 👍🏼I will be super polite! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This @stylistmagazine piece is specifically about mothers - the ten year period is age 25-35 by the way. What is the solution? “In a wide-ranging review of the motherhood pay gap published in 2015, academics Damian Grimshaw and Jill Rubery – professors at the Alliance Manchester Business School at the University of Manchester – proposed several policies that could be adopted to help mothers preserve successful careers. These included adequate parental leave for both women and men, with specific provision for fathers; accessible, affordable and high-quality childcare; flexible working arrangements; the elimination of maternity discrimination; and creating a family-friendly workplace culture. One thing is clear: the gender pay gap won’t close unless a concerted effort is made to keep mothers in the workforce.” #motherpukka #flexappeal #buildthelifeyouwant #makeworkwork #norwichevents #norwichparents #mumsnightout
📣Freelancers, entrepreneurs, business owners📣 Do you want to feel more like “you got this”? ⠀⠀⠀ As a marketing freelancer in my day job, I need to find clients and projects, and after a chance chat with a mum from pre-school (enter @mrshannahroutledge) I found that the few tips she gave me on #linkedin WORKED! I’ve had a call with a previous client, and an email from a different previous client. What else could I do on Linkedin, I wondered. And then the #PowerHour sessions were born. This first session is on Monday 30th April, 19:30 on the mezzanine floor at stunning @the_library_norwich_ (I met Jayne who runs this gorgeous place at networking session run by @jackieheffercookezenmuma - women supporting women in the making 💪🏽) Ticket is £10 plus transaction fee. Food and drink can be ordered from the menu throughout the session at your discretion. They do a super yummy and amazing value Prix Fixe 2 course menu for £10.95, which I will be partaking in of course. ⠀⠀ Anyone can come! If your partner needs to up their game for their business- send them! If your graduate children need to get into work - send them! I don’t mind who comes. Only ten spaces though and they’re nearly gone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tickets in the bio 😇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve set up a new email list for these business events- please DM me your email address if you’d like to be on it, or you can sign up in the bio. #linkedin #buthowdoiuseitthough #powerhour #wegotthissometimes #smallbusiness #freelancer #freelancelife #entrepeneurs #norwichevents #norwichbusiness

Lovely coffee and cake/lunch, lots of toys for little ones and a chance to just Sit Down💪🏽. I went a couple of weeks ago and loved it. Her blog is funny. Read it! Link is in the profile!
