Lockdown was hard, homeschooling was torturous. But normal life is bloomin’ hectic isn’t it?!

My to do list isn’t shrinking and my house seems constantly chaotic. Is this just life with kids?! Or am I doing something wrong?

Never quite feeling like you’re on top of things is demoralising at times. But my feed is full of working parents and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in feeling like this… am I?

The thing is, I do like hanging out with my kids and watching Bluey, and I like early nights, and seeing friends, and going to the gym. There are only so many hours in the day right?!

So putting this here to remind myself to have a break and give myself a break, before I break 🤪

On @packedlunchc4 today talking about making planters from pallets and guttering. I’ve done the boring stuff while @mr_plantgeek gets to make them look pretty! #diy #gardendiy #gardendiyproject #planters #palletplanter #guttering #gutteringplanter #reuse #recycle

I'm currently writing an article about teaching kids DIY.

Would you ever let you child loose with the power tools?

Over the years I've done some really cool projects teaching kids DIY, from after school clubs to workshops and even letting my own kids have a go at home.

We teach our kids to be afraid of so many things in life. Constantly living in this fear of 'what if something goes wrong', but what if something goes right? What if they feel empowered and inspired by tackling DIY projects at home.

The one thing working with kids over the years has taught me, is that they are far more willing and far less fearful then the adults around them when it comes to trying new things. And yes that can be scary when presenting an 8year old with a power sander, but with the right guidance that shouldn't put us off.

After all if we broaden our kids experiences to more than just Maths and English perhaps we'll help them find a path to more creative outlets.

Give them wings to fly.

So summer fun is finally done! Back to reality wit

So summer fun is finally done! Back to reality with a bang. I had a great time hanging out with the kid’s over the summer, definitely needed the break. But now it’s back to reality, loads of new projects going on in the next few weeks so need to get into the swing of things quick! But today required some summer decompression with a swim at the @westreservoir_n4 and a sweaty KB session with @carrerasstudio. Talk about getting back to it with a bang. #summerfun #backtoreality #work #decompression #grindstone #comeon 💪🏼

This year has been tough. I kept thinking there was light at the end of the tunnel but the tunnel just kept getting longer. I don’t feel like I’ve achieved anything and life keeps whooping my ass. So taking this summer to reflect, reinvigorate, and recharge. And play with my kids after all we don’t get many summers when they’re young. So this is me over and out, see you on sept (if you need me find my digits) #takingabreak #socialdetox #overandout #ciaofornow #seeyouinseptember #haveagreatsummer #mentalhealthmatters

Morning Monday! I’m not the only one feeling a bit grey today right? Ok so we didn’t win the football, and it’s raining and grey in the middle of July , and who knows if we can actually travel/hug/cough in public anymore. But there’s always a silver lining. I’m not sweating uncontrollably when I leave the house, my face mask keeps hayfever at bay, and I’ve always wanted to visit Scotland and Wales more. Come on Monday let’s ‘ave ya 💪🏼💪🏼 #mondaymotivation #mondaymood #mondayvibes #freelance #freelancelife #doingitforthekids #wegotthis #bringit #smallyawnthough

Had an awesome weekend teaching some diy skills to

Had an awesome weekend teaching some diy skills to the wonderful attendees of the @chisenhaledance Encounter Bow festival. This wonderful little venue, The Common Room in E3 is soon to be demolished and a permanent structure built in its place. I’ve loved being involved in events in this space over the years, but can’t wait for it to have running water and a proper roof so we can run workshops all year round. I love watching people use a drill for the first time, they always say “that wasn’t as scary as o thought it would be”! Thanks for asking me to be a part of this great day @romanroadtrust #diyskills #skillup #teachsomethingdaily #learnsomethingnew #learnabewskill #learndiy #learntowallpaper #learntosand #learnsomediy #diyskills #drillskills #drillsarentthatscary
