Playing with Munchkin is my favourite way to spend a day…

Grandparents for the win! The twins have honestly been nothing short of vile today - I’m fed up of the bank holiday already. Aside from the four hours they spent at their grandparents where they were impeccably behaved and charmed everyone. Clearly they know how to make friends and influence people. #bloodytwins #twins #motherofthree #tiredandfedup #easter #motheroftwins #grandparents #sunnydays #lifewithtwins

Egg hunt is on! In true form, Felix has the measure of it entirely - run everywhere, guard your basket with your life and eat everything as quickly as possible. Monty, on the other hand, has wandered off and is shouting at the birds. #twins #easteregghunt #toddlereasteregghunt #egghunt #easter #summertime #twinlife

Cannot wait to climb onto this sofa and finally finish season seven of #gameofthrones so I can watch the new one. Been avoiding social media ALL day. We’ve been watching the whole series over again in preparation for season eight, and I’m so pleased we did. There is so much more that I understand now. No more: “Who is that bloke..?” Plus, finally feel like I have a cosy spot to watch it in. Last week I was home alone for a whole day. I was supposed to be getting some much-needed ‘down time’. Instead I decided to completely rearrange the sitting room. As you do. I even colour-coded my bookshelf, which merely shows I’ve been on Instagram and following @benfogle for too long... Anyway, this is not the first time I’ve decided to do something like this on an impulse. I’m not really a creature of habit and routine, I like change, I find it invigorating and energising. Even as a child I would be constantly rearranging my bedroom. I need different perspectives, different energy, and I find that especially as the seasons shift I am itching to change things around. Luckily, my family have got used to never really knowing where half the furniture will be when they get home... #cornersofmyhome #paintedfurniture #colourcodedbooks #indianvintage #homedecor #sittingroom #cosysofa #colourfulhome #winterishere❄️ #got

Disastrous trip to the park yesterday - too cold, so much whining, several escape attempts onto a main road etc etc - but the day was saved when, on the way home, I heard the boys giggling, and then sighing happily. Elsa turned round to see what was going on: “Oh Mummy. They’re holding hands. They’re so cute and sweet aren’t they?” Yes, yes they are. And they held hands the whole way home. #twinmagic #twinmoments #lifewithtwins #twinmama #twinboys #ihatethepark #parklife #twinbrothers #motheroftwins #twinnies

Spring evenings and scrunchy faces. Everything with children is better when you can get outside. The funny thing about depression (there’s nothing funny about depression, but you know what I mean) is how beautiful things are when the clouds lift. My children are bona fide bloody magic wonderment. They’re amazing, extraordinary little souls, and discovering how special they are feels all the more incredible, considering everything that came before. It’s like falling in love all over again. #monty #babytwin #springsunshine #kidsoutside #childhoodunplugged #childinnature #wildandfree #cottagegarden

Trust what you know. It’s so easy to forget that most of the time we do know what’s best for our children and that we nearly always have the answer, if only we could listen to our motherly instincts more. While Daddy prepared to take the boys on a walk, Monty was wailing and thrashing around, clearly beyond tired. I sensed he was tired. I knew he was tired. And yet instead I ploughed on with the planned walk, applying facts and logic and schedules and plans. It was a situation that needed none of those things. It was a situation that needed a mother to be a mother. Sure enough, within minutes, Monty fell asleep on the handlebars of his trike. Daddy carried him home in his arms, fast asleep the whole way, and we tucked him up in bed, cosy and happy. Instincts - they’re there for a reason. #sleepingbabe #motherlyinstincts #motherhood #motheroftwins #youknowmorethanyouthink #trustyourself #twinmama #babyboy
