In today’s cozy day-in-the-life, I’m bringing you along for a “chilled but busy” summer holidays kind of day as a mum of four in South East England. We start with the real-life chaos (the fun kind) — breakfast, getting everyone ready, and a quick dash to church because my brain just wasn’t braining the night before and I accidentally brought food bank items home. Then it’s straight into home rhythms: I share my super quick, low-ingredient bread recipe that I can stretch and fold throughout the day, and I talk you through how I keep our days flowing even when I’m tired. I also chat about breastfeeding and why we chose to co-sleep with our third and fourth babies. For me, it’s been a game changer for sleep — I can just roll over to feed Annabella instead of getting up and down all night, and I’m such a big advocate for savoring these tiny seasons because they go so quickly. You’ll see little pockets of slow living in the middle of motherhood: a free soft play trip, a quick tidy and reset, painting mugs with the kids, harvesting in the garden (yes, even in the rain — we’re a rain family), and me making my own essential oil rollers for morning and night. To finish the day, I share how we approach screen time in our home (balanced, not overly strict, and always linked to getting outside), and why we eat dinner early so we can have a slower-paced evening routine. It’s gentle parenting, homemaking, and real family life — imperfect, cozy, and full of small moments that matter.
