No I haven’t started running. I wish. It’s that one thing I wish I would do. There are so many benefits to it both for mind and body. I am hoping to inject some cardio into my little workout life that only includes pilates classes twice a week and tending to three kids on a daily basis. Birth Forward‘s upcoming participation in the Limassol Marathon 5km Corporate Race may just be the kick I need to finally do it.
It’s easy for me to get caught in a web of negativity especially when everything that can go wrong will go wrong. Recently our fridge broke down, silently in the middle of the night, defrosting everything in the freezer and slowly working it’s way through the fridge section too. Then our dog got sick. And then there was other stuff. There always is. But because I have recently decided to work on my mind as well as my body, I knew that a gratitude list could have a massive impact on my overall wellbeing. So I gave it a go.
I’ve written about receiving gifts upon the arrival of a new family member. And how many people get it wrong, wasting money and annoying us. You voiced your opinions too, which I turned into a blog post. One thing we all agreed on was that balloons and flowers were out and food, self-care and baby products were in. Those were the things I appreciated after having all three of my babies. The needs are the same as they are more or less throughout the early years of parenting. That’s why it’s so amazing that Mommy Box has launched. A gift and subscription box service for pregnancy and post-partum is now available in Cyprus.
One of my kids loves eggs! Yay! Georgie is ok with them – he’s made his peace with the fact that he must eat eggs – but James…oh James loves them. He especially loves them scrambled which is so fantastic because that’s when I get the chance to hide a little health booster in the dish.
Hello! Happy New Year!
I am currently sitting at the kitchen table with a salad wholewheat wrap from Chopped, which I got earlier today, on a plate next to me. Got some Spotify playing on the side too. I didn’t mean to post anything this evening because I’ve been feeling a bit meh these past few days. It’s been so cold, we spent a good couple of days in our pyjamas and papa was home too so I kind of didn’t want to leave the cocoon. It’s been a good Christmas.
