Hi guys—happy new year. In this Motherhood Diaries episode, I’m taking you through a real day in my life with my 6-month-old, from the little “mom hacks” that get us through the day to how I’m trying to be more intentional about my health. One hack I swear by right now: when I need her to sleep while I’m in the kitchen, I put her in the carrier, turn on the hood fan, and once the extractor noise starts, she knocks out like magic. I also show you what I’m cooking for lunch—sweet potato and yam porridge with turkey (plus shrimp/crayfish), mashing the sweet potato to thicken it and finishing with a little palm oil and dried hot leaves. I also share what my friend and I are doing for “75 Medium” starting January 2nd—two movements a day (walking is compulsory), eating healthy with no processed sugar, prioritizing protein, 3L of water, and one self-care thing daily. Later, it’s play time with our Lovevery Inspector Play Kit while I turn my space into a mini gym and squeeze in a Grow with Jo leg day cardio/weights workout—because working out as a mom means pausing mid-set when baby needs you. I end the day handing her over to her dad for stories, taking my “me time,” and prepping mentally for baby’s first flight because we’re traveling to another city in Canada soon.
