These days I spread the Christmas spirit across all of December- it eases the pressure on Christmas Day being perfect- cos it never is. Tonight we did the Edinburgh Christmas Market with the kids. It was a perfect clear, crisp evening and not too crowded. Midweek is my tip for going with kids- In by 4pm, and on the tram home around 6- that way everyone’s still smiling. Oh and I’m getting the winter vibe in now, cos halfway through the month we are switching it up and going down under. #familyselfie #mumlife #december #smile #hat #edinburghchristmasmarket
In my cardio circuit class today the trainer had us do a round of 50 seconds on, ten seconds off x10. I told myself it was only a little longer than our usual rounds, I should be able to do it. Some of them I could (plank- nailed it) others the clock beat and I couldn’t make it through. On the fresh round she started the same timing - then I think saw that nobody could keep up, nobody was giving their best, so she switched it to 30 on 10 off. It made me think how at this time of year lots of us are telling ourselves we should be able to do just that little bit extra- when what we really need is someone to dial it back. So if you need it here is my permission to dial it back. #gymselfie #notsmiling #mumlife #gymlife
Walking about the city doing errands can be rather dull- unless you’ve got a castle in the background and a buddy to keep you company. With Halloween out of the way Edinburgh is getting its Christmas sparkle on and we did our best to be festive in matching mother and son red. #sickday #edinburghcastle #city #mumlife #selfie #edinburgh
I love learning and I am a great believer in workshops being a great way to get a bit social, learn new skills and invest back in yourself. November 27th will be the last Mending Workshop for 2019 as I’m planning to treat myself to attending a different workshop in December. I have one in mind, which I will share shortly, but I’d love to hear what other workshops are catching your eye. Or ones you’ve done this year and loved? #workshop #sewing #sewsustainable #learning #reuse #mendit
Why I love where I live: getting to celebrate Diwali with the school and see my beautiful friends all dressed up for the festival on a grey November day in Edinburgh. #diwali #diwali2019 #edinburgh #festivaloflights
Morning out at the beach. Rugged up. Building sand castles, watching planes and park runners. The cold does seep in, but at least all cobwebs in my brain have been chased away. @parkrunuk #scotland #october #cloudspotting #mumlife
