The sell out @fash_reboot in February was FABULOUS! @ciaraelliott bought glamour and fun to Norwich and @tanialeeds did her styling magic as we shopped Paul Smith, Chinti and Parker, Topshop, vintage clothes, shoes and accessories and tonnes more.

Self care wheel by the excellent @stacieswift. What can you be doing today for YOU 🙏🏼. Try all at once, or one a day and Stacie says you’ll feel lighter and lighter ☁️🌥⛅️🌤☀️. Sidenote: I have a day off work with three children today, which is lovely. However, I know we need rain, but TODAY?! Come on 🤷🏽‍♀️😆🤔 #digsoutcraftstuff #firstdayofrain #totallygotthisundercontrol
Save the date, beep, beep! Friday 28th September...e-mail is coming to you tonight 😇🙏🏼 #norwichevents #wegotthissometimes
We made it! 6 hour car journey to Dorset and 5 hours back, including lunches and nappy stops 🙌🏻. The first trip we’ve done that didn’t cause me list panics about packing as I did the girls and Mike did the boys (yup I totally won that one 👶🏽!). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We spent quality time with our friends who are visiting from Zimbabwe. Jane went traveling years ago, and met Jase. She’s lived there ever since, married and has a gorgeous toddler who we met for the first time❤️. She has an amazing job in wildlife conservation @conservationtravelafrica, and years ago we stayed at the black rhino project called @imire_zimbabwe (magical 🦒🦏🦓). It reminded us to show Sophia the video on YouTube called “there’s a rhino in my house”. Her mind was boggled 😍. Just letting you know in case you’re looking for stuff for the kids (maybe give it a little watch first as there is a devastating bit about poaching, but kids still need to see that I think). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Image credit ME🙋🏽‍♀️ (if you know people looking to volunteer, they have INCREDIBLE projects to offer 👍🏼🙌🏻). @captainpotter just produced the most beautiful video of his time there, see the link in his bio, it’s stunning. #reminiscing #volunteerinafrica #responsibletravel #makeadifference #zimbabwe
Soooooo. Been a bit quiet. Ahem. Went dark. Been in a tunnel. Found myself very much a rabbit in headlights. The reality of being a working mother still confounds me. I KNOW there is no easy answer. I did indeed, snap the arm off a gentleman who offered me a freelance project. Came just at the right time. It was a “bit”👀 bigger than he or I anticipated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was like a sharp initiation back into a career I left a few years ago. I can still DO it. I’ve learned some stuff this week. Like what an Uber call is (tbf it’s just a conf call😂, totally did NOT have to google it). How to beg for childcare (low point). That the new version of PowerPoint can be downloaded off the internet, for a monthly fee, I KNOW, no cds! That mounting pressure is best handled bra-less in a heatwave. That the Greatest Showman on repeat in your head helps (I’ve fallen more and more in love with the soundtrack). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I started We Got This Sometimes as I knew my career wasn’t too compatible with two babies (5pm conference calls anyone 🤓) and thought it would help me and others like me find a new path. And it is, and it does. But as anyone knows, new businesses take a while to get going and I do appreciate projects. You know, for fish fingers on the table, as Mother Pukka puts it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👯‍♀️Social life 💻Work 💋Relationship 👧🏼👶🏽Kids 🏡House ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This poem posted by @pandorasykes says you can have two out of three (I added house and kids). Based on that principle no wonder I’ve been feeling overwhelmed. Having done just one of those things the past week has given me lots of perspective and I promise not to moan about normal life again. (Don’t hold me to it). It has been very odd being seen as a woman who does a job instead of being seen as a mum. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am very motivated and fired up, and feel like I could be doing a better job in all areas if only I could complete one of those areas 😬, if you’re a mum-marketing-type with tiny children please could you DM me so I can see how you manage it?!? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #whereisthehappymedium #ishallbelesshastyinsnappingarmsoffinfuture #imemerging #freelancelife
Never too late to say HAPPY #NORFOLKDAY is it?! Can’t believe it’s today already! Norfolk is beautiful, I pinched this pic from @wellsnextthesealife as Wells is my fave beach. 🙌🏻 @edp_norfolk
Eek!

Still not finished the summer-holiday-spreadsheet 🧐🤓gagh! But my poorly baby boy is on the up (tonsillitis 😞) and had an alright day actually (surprising I know!) not as many things went wrong as normal and I think it’s because I did one thing at a time 😬. But I’ve approx 2 hours alone before I fall asleep so I’m GOING FOR IT AND PLANNING! Anyone else struggle to plan for the day after tomorrow 😂 pic by @marloesdevee (flipping brilliant) #smallbusiness #planplanplan #fallasleep #wingit #freelancerlife #jugglestruggle #platespinning #wegotthisevenlessintheholidays

TAG YOUR FAVE SMALL BUSINESS or EVEN ADD YOUR SMALL BUSINESS below if you like. It can be a business, a service, a blogger (they need likes too!), an air bnb, a charity. ☀️I’m just about to add all the ones I can think of since We Got This Sometimes started. Can you support a small business this weekend? If not, here are some ways you can 👍🏼 @thegirlsmeanbiz via @justacard ✊🏻 #smallbusinessesrock #smallbusinesslove #smallbusinesssupport #shopsmall #supportthemakers #supportsmallbusiness #becoolshopsmall
I understand you might think I’ve chosen this because it’s @abbywambach and footy is on tonight, however it’s actually because I’m trying to tell myself the lists, planning, not getting through the lists fast enough, the life-min, new school “stuff”, summer holiday spreadsheet doesn’t really matter. 🍓💫🍓 It’s who you are and who you want to be, not what you do. Including ticking off lists much slower than you’d like 🤷🏽‍♀️Makes it all seem ok, I think. #wednesdaymotivation didn’t think that was a hashtag but seems quite popular! #liveyourmostauthenticlife via @makerswomen
Words to Kylie “got to be certain” 💯remember Day one of summer holidays over here, I’ve “lost” things I was holding seconds before, seem to be going round in circles more than normal and been told my jiggly belly is so “cute” whilst JUST TRYING TO THINK guys😂😁😬🍓 Spot on @mamadisrupt
It would seem there is something to be said for normalising the good, the bad and the ugly about parenting! Brutally honest and hilariously funny, @theunmumsymum and @manversusbaby delighted a sell out crowd of 250 Norfolk and Suffolk parents, babies and some grandparents on Thursday night in the beautiful @theoctagonbarn, Little Plumstead, Norwich! After a drink at the super-value super-artisan @nakedwines bar (the frizzante and craft beer went down a storm as of course did the wine) and a delicious burger at @bitethebullitt (it was one of the busiest 'slams' he has known!) groups of women and tired couples relaxed on the lawn or on the terrace in the balmy sun. Sarah and Matt delighted us with their stories of births (like turning up to labour ward and finding the Hunger Games with a Seaside Escapes Candle and a Snow Patrol CD), making friends (being shunned at baby massage “why does my baby get a massage, I'm the sleep deprived one!”), working from home and being at home (get out!). We found out all about Ruth, what the best and worst messages from followers have been, what the Willy Show is, how interested Matt’s wife is in his work, how to survive hellidays , who the Red Coat Mum is, how welcoming a Nod of Sympathy can be to someone who is struggling. The full gallery is in the link in the bio, I’ll add more photos when I can🙌🏻 please tag @wegotthissometimes and @emilygrayphoto if you share pics, thanks so much😁
