👋🏽 I have added a new friend to my business and I am now officially a Thermomix consultant! I never understood the Thermomix trend. I thought it was way too expensive.... until I started using it at my sister-in -law's and truly saw the value; time & ease.

The other night I cooked a meal and in between having to add ingredients, I made breakfast, breastfed Layla and had a shower.

I have found the joy in cooking again because it's actually just more fun and it truly makes making things from scratch a breeze.

It's such a great tool and I want others - especially you, busy mumma - to experience it too. I am available for cooking demonstrations in your home (yes, we will cook three delicious things together or you can check it out at our home!).

Message me if you want to see what this whole Thermomix talk is all about and how it could possibly help you too!

There used to be so much "food & exercise noise" in my head. Holidays were clouded by thoughts around what I should/ should not be eating, how I should make up for it (extra exercise!), how I will do "better" tomorrow.

I am glad I am no longer in that headspace. Especially now as a mumma. I wouldn't even know where to fit that in to my brain capacity 🤣. I know how I feel my best and it's what I will always return to after time away. Being able to enjoy any food, at any time, without feeling the need to go for an extra run to make up for it, without it taking over my brain, is something I always admired in other people.
I am glad that this is where I am now as a busy mumma.

I would much prefer not having to workout at 1pm on a 35 degree day. But that's my only time window I get at the moment with both kids asleep (at least that's the plan).

I often have to resettle one of them, or both of them, or end up bringing one, or two, plus our dog, into my workout space. It's peak summer, Michaels busiest season. So my "me" time is very limited.

It's far from ideal but I know it's for a limited time until things will shift again.

I am in the season where my schedule evolves around our little humans. And that means getting comfortable with living in the gray zone, the "something" is better than nothing space!💦

Something that made me laugh... I have a few variations of this photo, I love it. I wanted to make it my phones' wallpaper but I feel bad using one where Sky isn't in the photo (he doesn't like photos at the moment 😝). So I chose this one where at least the back of his head is in it; just in case I get questioned.

The next day Sky pointed at my phone, all excited and said: new photo!
I said: Yes!!! Who's in it?
Sky: Sky and Mummy!!!!

He was stoked 😅🤣

A few years ago, when I recovered from hypothalamic amenorrhea, I did a few things that really helped to improve my body image. One of those things was to finally pass on some of my old clothes that never truly fit right. They always pinched in some places, and I always felt self-conscious, which led to a lot of body checking and pinching to try and get them to fit. Wearing them always felt uncomfortable, and that's exactly how I felt within myself. For years, I tried to change my body and hoped that one day I would like wearing those clothes; it was always my body's "fault."

I did an audit of my wardrobe. I tried on every item and ruthlessly put them in a pile to give away. This alone was a very challenging process—to "admit" that those clothes did not fit me.

I went out and went to different clothing stores, and I spent more money on better-quality clothes. How I felt in those new clothes, and not having to see my old ones all the time, was quite life-changing.

If this resonates with you, could it be that maybe you're due for a wardrobe audit too?
Do it!🤍

Motherhood🤷🏼‍♀️😆

06/08/2025

My post partum with Layla was naturally going to be more chaotic than my first one. It was (still is) a very challenging season. It's very demanding, physically and mentally. There are so many needs from tiny humans and endless tasks to do around the house. There is only so much mess I can "embrace" (as suggested by many Instagram posts😝).
I wanted to set myself up so I could recover and enjoy those precious first weeks as much as possible. I knew I needed to ask for help and communicate my needs clearly. Michael is a hands-on dad, and looking after ourselves is important to both of us. We take turns so we can both do something for ourselves on his days off.
Michael's family is a huge help; however, I knew with my own family being so far away, I needed another set of hands. So I had arranged Tara, my wonderful post partum doula, early in my pregnancy. I am beyond grateful for her help - I know I couldn't have enjoyed it like I have without her help 💛.
I may not have Tara in my life forever but I have certainly learnt that asking for help makes a huge difference and that the people you love truly want to help you.

Six weeks with our beautiful girl Layla 💜 probably the most chaotic weeks of our life 😆 but, I am feeling so happy and complete💜💙

In just a few weeks our life will change forever again. I know my heart will grow even bigger and I will love another human just as much as I love Sky. It's also a scarily vulnerable place to be; as a mother, you feel it all. You want to protect your little ones from everything and anything in the world, but you can't.
But... I am ready, to be holding our baby in our arms so soon and to see Sky become a big brother ❤️

Around this time last year training has felt the best it ever has. I got my period back after having Sky, I felt strong, healthy and very much "like myself" again. I never put any pressure on myself for getting fit & strong again after pregnancy + giving birth. It was a slow & steady process and I loved it. By August things couldn't have looked much differently 😝 with all day nausea and no desire to even move my body. I expected this and throughout my whole pregnancy with #2 I didn't worry about how much strength & fitness I will loose. I know I will get back to my happy place one day. I am in this for life and there is no rush to get there. I am very excited to start my post partum rebuild after birth, whatever that will look like.

But for now, I will enjoy the precious last weeks of carrying our second baby ✨💛 🤰🏼

Not loving the two things that I usually love most in my routine has been challenging. Training and food. They are also basically my job😆. I went into this pregnancy expecting that it will be the same as last time. My first pregnancy taught me a lot; especially in terms of 'listening to my body' and doing things which my head was telling me not to do, or the other way round. In that regard it was easier, I expected a very messy 10 months and it sure has been. I am proud of every nutritious meal I managed to put on the table and every training session I showed up for, especially with a little human next to me who couldn't care less about how I feel about food or how tired I am 😂

Apart from meeting our baby etc. - what I look forward the most is to get my appetite back. That breastfeeding appetite!! It was amazing and I can't wait to truly feel like eating nourishing meals again🤤 and coffee ☕️ !!
