I’m loving these memories from last year that @instagram keep throwing up! What a difference a year makes. From being in one of the most densely populated countries in the world to being on lockdown with my boys. 🔒 🏡

On this day last year we watched the sun rise over the beautiful Taj Mahal. 🕌 🇮🇳

India is one of my favourite places in the world but for all its beauty and magic the poverty and homelessness is overwhelming and hard to see.

As we are told to stay home in our heated houses with running water I simply can’t imagine how India would do such a thing with so many people living on the streets, in tents and structures that we wouldn’t class as a house.

So appreciate that water coming out of the facet, the Netflix and that drafty window because not everyone’s lucky enough to have one. Staying home is a privilege not afforded to everyone. 🏡✨

The #stayathome cake! So this @bettycrockeruk wonder called for 3 eggs and veg oil. But I only had 2 eggs and coconut oil and I didn’t feel like a cake warranted ‘essential’ so we made do and it still tastes delish! 🍰

How has everyone’s weeks gone? I feel like staying home all together is my new favourite thing. JJ loves having his daddy in the garden (in the studio, he’s not a gnome! 😂) and I love having a spare pair of hands if need be. 👐🏼🏡
.
So whether you want to punch your husband in the face 👊🏼, run away from home 🏃🏻‍♀️ or you’re relishing the new quiet life make sure you pat yourself on the back for the first week of our new normal! 🎉
.
You’re all doing great! 👊🏼✨

Finally a day in the garden with some sunshine! ☀️
.
I’m a little hermit so social distancing and remaining at home is like my dream! The fact that Boris has made everyone else do it to is even better so I don’t get FOMO! 😂🔒🏡
.
Today we wheelied on the deck (hence the boarder of heavy pots-baby proofing at its finest! 👌🏼), pulled some weeds, sprinkled miracle grow around like glitter and did 73 loads of washing which dried outside! 💃🏻🧺
.
Long may the sunshine continue, it def makes this crazy world feel a little calmer. 🌏

Our 1st Mothers Day! ✨
.
Today was filled with cuddles, some bird watching, a pooh explosion and having the tiny hairs on the back of my head ripped out by tiny fingers and I wouldn’t change it for the world! 👶🏼💙
.
Everyday I wake up to this boys cheeky giggle I am filled with so much gratitude knowing someone else is waking up without it. His birth mama gave us the greatest gift and made all our dreams come true. I hope she knows today and everyday how grateful I am that she allowed me to become a mum. 💕
.
So to all the birth mums, adoptive mums, step mums, foster mums, mums to be, the champs going through fertility treatment or slugging through the inefficient adoption process, the aunties that are like mums and all the other wonderful women that come into our lives and step into the mum role. You are the true superstars that keep the world turning! 🌏🌟
