What's your Saturday morning routine?
Comments (6)I too like to get up early whilst everyone is still sleeping. I let the dogs in to snooze in the kitchen whilst i curl up on my chair with freshly squeezed orange juice, a boiled egg with marmite soldiers and a cup of earl grey tea [same every saturday] I then browse the network food channel and watch old cookery programmes - Jamie, Nigella, Barefoot Countess. I get really excited if, when the postman comes, I hear a heavier thud than normal - that means a brand new magazine or 3 !!! if that happens i have to make a coffee and sit a while longer ........See MoreWhat's your morning routine?
Comments (12)Alarm 6.30 so I can snooze for anything up to 30 mins. Shower, hair, makeup & dressing takes between 30 to 45 mins, pack my lunch & feed cat in around 10 mins. Drive to work 20 mins. Arrive around 8.15 which gives me plenty of time for a coffee and a good natter with colleagues before clocking on and starting my day in a relaxed frame of mind. I'd hate to arrive with only minutes to spare before starting work. I'd be too flustered and often the only real chance for a catch up with my colleagues is before 9 o' clock and I really value that....See MoreWhat inspires you in your work? How do you strike a work/life balance?
Comments (4)Hi Louise, this is a really interesting discussion, thank you for sharing and looks like it was a great feature! Me personally, I think the secret of my success is being passionate and loving what I do. Then everything else follows naturally! To achieve a work/life balance I have to be quite strict with myself, and recognise I need time to relax to be at my best. I am currently really inspired by the Scandinavian lifestyle - my boyfriend is Danish and I am trying to learn more about 'Hygge'. It's all about being comfortable, getting cosy and appreciating the little things such as a hot cup of coffee and lighting candles. That being said, with Summer approaching I'm excited to start spending more time outdoors - pretty sunsets always inspire me and make me feel good!...See MoreKeeping a home mess free with children and a work-from-Home partner
Comments (9)I too am at home full time and have a 3yr and 4yr old. We have large fitted wardrobes in bedrooms - think a lot of people have children’s wardrobes which don’t fit anything in. My children love their books and have a mini library - so sometimes we have a sea of books all over the floor! My advice is to categorise toys e.g sets together, jigsaws, cars/trucks, Lego, musical instruments, crafts, games, Clay, tracks, soft, figurines, paints, dress ups etc. Then decide which toys you are happy for your child to have easy access to and which ones you want them to ask for. This is a biggy particularly with such a young child but also when working from home -you don’t want them to have easy access to super messy items or things they need your help with. I store most in easy storage boxes which they can pull out from shelves, under there bed, bottom of wardrobe etc. Categorising toys makes it easy to plan activities around your day e.g jigsaws while I clean up after breakfast, then get ready and out, Lego and dress ups when we get back then crafts or paints at the table while I’m making dinner etc. I do have toys in every room but all have their place, away out of sight and the children know where everything goes (quick to tell daddy if he gets it wrong?!) Lots on display in their bedroom but again toys I’m happy they can get out and put back easily. I always think about the storage when buying toys too - unless assembling is part of the game/joy then don’t bother buying. There are some parts of the day when my house looks like a toy shop but it’s never a stress as I find everything is so easy to put away and the babies can help!...See More- 5 years ago
