My 2026 Vision-board. This year I plan to slow down more, continue to romanticize mum life, take offline days weekly, spend more time reading books and writing on here and my substack.

Happy New Year you lovely lot! Joe, Alessia and I have had an incredibly busy December! Although, annoyingly the whole family has been struck down with back to back colds and flu-bugs.
