Good morning, my loves. In this cozy day in the life, I’m sharing a real morning routine as a mum of four in South East England — including a rough night with baby girl, breastfeeding in the morning rush, and still choosing to start gently with a coffee and a slow, autumn feel. It’s just me, Milo and Annabella for the day (the big two are back at school), so I lean into that quieter rhythm with pancakes, a quick kitchen clean, and then heading out early to keep things calm. We do our favourite little free soft play in town (I go super early because it’s much quieter and feels safer when it’s not full of big kids), then we pop to the library before coming home for baking and a sweet little tea party moment with Milo. I also chat about how refreshing it was being off-grid with no signal — it made me realise how much I want to be on my phone less. Later, I share a Beauty Bay haul, paint my nails for an early autumn reset, and answer the questions you always ask me: staying soft with four kids (it’s a journey), co-sleeping, how my husband and I met, whether we want more children, and the very real mum guilt. Then it’s straight into school run chaos, English weather, traffic, and uniform shopping — real life, as always.
