So glad to hear you Natalie. I came to follow you from your caramels. Long time ago. I have loved following your journey in the USA and the boys plus Hendricks. So happy about you adding a baby boy. What a great time. I am older and my children are in their 30’s. Take time for yourself and your boys. I know a clean house and eating well are important plus goals but I wish I could just go back to when my children were little and just watch them and talk to them with undivided attention. The other goals will come chores will get done but I wish I had not worried so much about these things and spent more time just being present and not guilting myself. Also, would you ever consider doing a video about the differences of living in the UK vs. USA? Like housing, shopping, transportation and so on. Take care.
Thanks for the video! So many of these goals were resonating with me, but especially regarding finding things that I ENJOY to do with my twins. They are still very young so going out alone with them is a big challenge itself and while they love to go somewhere with news toys/ things to play with I find myself over it pretty quickly. Before they were born I also had the goal of spending one-on-one time with them separately but exactly as you say it's impossible to find the time or you have to take up the chance to get a break when someone else takes them both at once. -Lily xx
Hi Lily, oh it's so hard isn't it, i'll let you know if I have any success but Im not sure what it will be yet! I used to love just going for a walk and grabbing a coffee when they were younger but now they wont sit still to sit in a cafe. People always tell me about the one on one time too but it is a lot harder than i expected and now the boys are older they don't want to do things seperatly either 🤣xx
Lovely to see you Natalie HNY sounds like you ad a great Christmas. Bump is coming on lovely lol. It is good to make some intentions but important to be realistic as when I set my self targets that I dont achieve I really berate myself, which isnt good. I have the same issue of feeling guilty, and I have to stop myself from doing it. I had a cleaning schedule when I had my little ones and it was really lovely when they joined in with me, sweeping, mopping and dusting - all good memories and you get the tasks done. Id love to see your plan. Take care and see you, the boys and Hendricks next time xx
Thank You Lynne, happy. new year to you. You're right about being unrealistic about goals, I think a lot of us do that and and then it's half the reason we don't end up achieving any of them over the year. Im trying to change that this year. Oh i love to hear you had a cleaning schedule too, any tips are welcome here 😀
Happy new year to you all, lovely to see you back, just don't put to much pressure on yourself to have/get everything done just right if you are happy then the rest will follow, you have the most wonderful time ahead soke this time up as a family of four, I'm looking forward to the next chapter 👶 =5 😜Xx
Ah Thank you Valerie, I love that outlook and you are right, everything will follow but it's hard not to expect more from yourself sometimes isn't it. Happy New Year xx
Happy new year.🎉 I can relate to the photobooks and photo storage. So hard to delete photos even when there are loads of photos of the same thing. I haven't printed a photobook yet. In theory its easy to do but once I sit down to do it i get overwhelmed with all the photos and all the memories coming flooding back and I get distracted! Would you do a book for each twin? Or one to share each year. Or both?
So happy to see you Natalie. Glad your doing well. How did the boys like the Ruko remote truck? I was hoping to see the smiles playing with it. I never make New Years goals anymore. Each new day brings its own surprises so I just wake up and make a daily list and do the best I can. You look amazing. Don’t be hard on yourself…..growing a human takes a lot of energy. Best wishes for a great New Year 🎉Kate
