Honestly my transition from 28 to 29 and maybe sti Honestly my transition from 28 to 29 and maybe still to go up to 30 feels a bit eye twitching! 🥺😂 I mean WTF people?! I’m where I’ve wanted to be for so long, what I imagined would be the best time of my life. My own business, & working with my husband on his business, two kids, with allot of flexibility in my day.
.
Every few years I’ve been able to see or realize when I’m going through a big change, a life shift if I can call it that, like new phase that gets grown into, & it is though 🙁🙁😞
.
Change & then uncertainty of the unknown has the ability to freak us out a bit. 😐😐
.
My husband & I find ourselves in a very difficult phase in out lives. Two small kids, who we love so much, but it can be allot most days, lol or every day😱😥😂😂🤭, & you won’t understand it till you’re there,
.
Complete & utter financial uncertainty. Working so hard towards things we hope will pay off in the future. Whilst were not even sure how were gonna pay some things the next month..😮😶
.
Fighting and not getting along at all, 😦😑it’s like amazing one minute and then chaos the next. Little sleep, stress, constantly putting someone else’s needs above yours. 😞it can lead you to crack hey, 😅😂🤭🤦🏽‍♀️
.
And when I saw this picture it was like a light went on... 💡 I have to stop resisting whatever changes are happening, try as hard as I can to adapt to them. Make peace with the life that I might be outgrowing 🙈😞 no matter how sad it feels to let go of things, and TRY to accept the next phase and hopefully then things will feel a bit better. 
.
Becoming a Mom of two is a big shift, you give so much of yourself on a constant basis to someone else...some days I feel like I’m actually mourning my old life, 😶🥺every day after dropping the kids at school I get so caught up in the nostalgia and memories of younger years that I feel I might be overshadowing my present life, procrastinating on my current life... 
.
I’m gonna try & stop that now... I need to find a new way to be confident & achieve my goals.

Night 3 of Solo patenting 😶😐 . It has truly Night 3 of Solo patenting 😶😐
.
It has truly not been that bad, I’ve not lost my shit once with the kids😂🤩🥳so that is always a win, 😂 but what I am sorry about is missing our run tonight because of the rain, it was very light rain, but I can’t run with them in it...🤷🏻‍♀️ and the whole idea of the three of us going for a run is, it’s a way to waste some time before dinner and bath - ⭐️
.
The kids get kids get kinda emotional here close to the end of the week when my husband goes away, it’s like we all miss him and were all kinda swimming in emotions and it can clash a bit if not guided 😂🙄🤭so the pram run usually helps.
.
But tonight I ended up going to the store with them when I saw it’s raining... and we needed some pizza 😂 But it was quite the mission 🙄 Paul whines, Lily whines... Paul cries ... and so on, 
.
But despite some challenges we made it to bedtime, and when Lily pushed me away when she was feeding so she can chat and make noises, I felt like crying - I really just need her to go to bed easily tonight , and then Paul said those dreadful words ‘ Mamma ek voel nie leke nie ‘ 😩😵
.
I literally went downstairs made them both a bottle, gave it to them , closed the door and left and sofar it seems they are both sleeping?🤷🏻‍♀️🤭😂🙏🏻🤞🏻 please lets hope it stays that way!

Holding Back 😐😕 . I feel like I’m for some Holding Back 😐😕
.
I feel like I’m for some irrational reason too scared to run..🙄🙄 I’m scared of how hard it feel to get back to where I was before I got pregnant with Paul... or even before I got pregnant again with Lily..
.
Getting back into the easy and amazing running routine I had feels absolutely impossible. And that’s simply because it is... I have two kids now, and my whole lifestyle has changed, I’m sleep deprived half the time and my anxiety creeps up on me like crazy?! 🤭🙄
.
And the most absurd thing of it all is that with my new ‘career’ (haha can I even call it that?😅😂) I am so flexible to work my run in when it suits me , but still I actively try to avoid it every other day...
.
It feels so hard to get back to where I want to be, so hard in fact that the effort I need to put in scares me,I wish things were as easy as when I thought it was hard😂 when running every morning at 4-5am felt difficult 😅🤭 now I have the time yet I’m constantly holding myself back. I’m so stuck in my own head?! Why is that though?
.
If it was easy, everyone would be doing it...
.
Hard work will pay off...
.
Consistency is the key...
.
All these sayings and yet no remote motivation comes up..🙈😐🤷🏻‍♀️ I honestly think Mom guilt is my biggest enabler to this consistent ‘holding-back’ behavior..🤭🙄 but I have no idea hoe to get rid of that feeling?!
.
Moms, raise your hands if you feel me? 🙋🏻‍♀️or maybe it’s just me and I’m loosing my marbles 🤭🤪😶😶

Double Stroller Run 🥵🥵 . Today’s run was h Double Stroller Run 🥵🥵
.
Today’s run was hard but I’m so glad I got to it, more like, forced myself a bit, especially after both kids were basically a bit fussy as I loaded them into the pram...🙄🤭but I’m solo parenting this week with my husband away for work , so I have to , have to force myself to stick to a routine, otherwise all hell will break loose 🤭🤭
.
So we went for a run, had dinner, bathed and in bed⭐️
.
My day didn’t work out as planned, I wanted to run this morning to kick my day off on a positive note but - it rained 🙄 and I wanted to have my diapers washed and dry by the end of the day so I could sort the washing before getting the kids from school, but it rained 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️ I also didn’t finish sewing as much as I wanted- so then my anxiety started kicking into high gear🤭😐🙈 thats when I knew, I HAD to go for a run, even if it was with both kids, otherwise I’d end up with a bad start to what could be a chaotic week 😐😅🤷🏻‍♀️
.
It was hard and they were heavy, both making turns asking and moaning for something having me stop what feels like every 500m🙄🙄🙄🙄 so that was super annoying and such hard work, gaining momentum with the very heavy stroller only to be stopped again 😐😐😐🥵🥵🥵but we survived, I had to basically have a coco-pop ready to put in Lily’s hand, every time she lifted her hand 😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️ the things we do Moms.. the things we do..😂😂😂
.
Both kids in bed now, now for a big cup of coffee and some washing to fold , school bags to prep🤷🏻‍♀️

Good start ✅ . Literally forced myself to get o Good start ✅ 
.
Literally forced myself to get out of the house, I was so amped for a run last night , but this morning my motivation felt a bit watered down😂😂 but it was great! 🥳🌸🤩
.
Only way to get out of a run is to force yourself I guess 😂😂

V-day ❤️❤️ . Valentines day takes on a wh V-day ❤️❤️
.

Valentines day takes on a whole new meaning when you have kids❤️ You’d think it means that Mommy and Daddy need some much needed alone time, but in all honesty its so much more fun to char it with your kids😍 having them dress up and enjoy in the sillyness of it all.
.
So dress the kids up, buy some red balloons for absolutely no reason and have some fun with it, the joy of seeing them in the moment is better than any bunch of Roses 😅😅❤️ this afternoon we’re gonna go buy some balloons after school  and eat wat to much chocolate 🎈 just because we can!☺️☺️
Remember why you started ❤️ . Sometimes I forg Remember why you started ❤️
.
Sometimes I forget how much I enjoy running and how it makes me feel. I get so caught up in kids, and the house and work and other daily tasks that can be hard, that the moment I have a spare minute to myself I can bare to think about going for a run, I’d rather take a nap or watch half a movie or something 🤷🏻‍♀️
.
I get why Moms get to a point where they stop running, it’s SUCH a mission to get yourself to commit to a run when you’d rather just relax, like lie down relax,😂😂 not exercise relax. And there was a time where running was my relax, but now it just feels hard to make time for 😕 oh and the Mom Guilt that I could be doing something else...so thats why I run with a double stroller 😂😂=Mom guilt...😞 and it’s a heavy guilt trip to push Mommy ...believe me!🤨
.
But for the most part running actually keeps me sane 😂🤪 and I also tend to forget that it’s time I need for myself too, to stay healthy to feel good about myself, and to let go of anger and frustration. 🙈 and we Moms need all of if we’re gonna be the best Moms we can be...⭐️⭐️
.
So tomorrow is Valentine’s Day Mom, if you wake up and Daddy didn’t prep any type of surprise, no roses or chocolates, then you put on those running shoes, hand him that baby and go run for as long as you need to fill your cup😂😂❤️ remember to pic a route goes past a coffee shop 😉 sit down , have coffee and cake before you head home 😂😂🥳⭐️🌈🌈 call it Momventinesday! 😉😅
