| Sharing my tips on the House of Fraser blog |
The perfect combination of work and parenting
sometimes seems an unreachable balance. It’s what all parents find
a struggle and settling back in to work life after family festivities
can be daunting.
This is why House of Fraser asked me to give my
perspective on making the most of time and getting that balance just
right!
Every parent will have different priorities and
ideas, but my own tip was to make the most of weekends:-
Even after 4 years as a working mum, occasionally
I feel I’m missing out on valuable time with my daughters. When I’m
feeling down, I remind myself that my career defines me nearly as
much as motherhood and I find a little extra mummy-time such as an
evening baking extravaganza with my girls. When I get home from work
it can be tempting to put off the chores until the weekend. I’ve
learned to distribute the boring bits throughout the week so that I
can spend the weekend with my girls – lazy mornings, fun family
days out and lots of cuddles.
Other Mum’s gave their own advice;
- Have a regular routine
- Plan your meals
- Focus on what you want to achieve day by day
- Make time for yourself
- Ask for help when you need it
