A little reminder that *normal life* isn’t Insta

A little reminder that *normal life* isn’t Instagram ready! I live in a busy house, it’s a untidy shit tip 90% of the time, seeing pristine rooms on Instagram makes me wonder where we’re going wrong?! Where are the toys 😅 Anyway, this room will look marginally more together when we decorate but then it’ll just be messed up again because kids and dogs live here 🤷🏻‍♀️ Instagram isn’t real life ✌🏻

But look! I did make one 😅 Drop a 🤦🏻‍♀️ if you’re also guilty 😵‍💫

What’s it like working with kids in tow? I’ll

What’s it like working with kids in tow? I’ll be honest, it’s a lot like this photo. A total juggle.

I’m lucky to be able to work around the kids and not require full-time (extortionate) childcare, but it’s not ideal! Eli currently goes to nursery two days a week, which means I only have one kid to juggle on the days when I need to get the bulk of my work done. Even then I’m only working at about 40% capacity.

More affordable childcare would make life easier for sure, but even then I’d still be burdened with the mum-guilt that society pushes on working mothers (that same shame that’s also pushed on formula feeding, public breastfeeding, being a SAHM… literally can’t win!).

I think this is just a bit of a brain dump really, I’m sure many of you can relate! I don’t know what the answer is, but it’s always good to know that you’re not alone with these conflicting feelings of motherhood.

Love my kids, love my work, dealing with the guilt & blaming the patriarchy ✌🏻

It’s niche, I love it! 🥨 Mickey pretzels are such a solid snack.

Christmas decorations and magnets are my go-to travel souvenirs, the last decoration we got was a kiwi in a Santa hat from NZ. Wonder what the next will be!

It’s a Disney food dump! I’ve definitely misse

It’s a Disney food dump! I’ve definitely missed photos of loads, because there was most certainly a Mickey pretzel (the GOAT), blue milk (overrated), more from the food & drink fest and several premium bars, but here are a few of the delicious treats we had in WDW! I’ll be honest and say we didn’t go super crazy for snacks/food in the parks, the exchange rate was insane & we were already spending loads on regular meals 😅

🍪 Mickey cookie sandwich
🧀 Buffalo chicken grilled cheese from ABC commissary
🥤 Coke from Galaxy’s Edge
🍟 Fry flight from Fry basket in EPCOT
🧋 Night blossom
☕️ Joffrey’s iced coffee (cheaper than Starbucks 🤣)
🍿 Werther’s caramel popcorn (so goooood)
🍪 Gingerbread & caramel sandwich (both from karamell kuche, my favourite!)
🍍 Dole whip floats from swirls on the water
🍞 giant Gaston’s cinnamon roll!

I still have a snack hit list that’ll just have to wait until we next visit 😅
