Mindfulness for Mums

On the last blog, I talked about what mindfulness is; being aware of what we do when we do it. We don’t need to find extra time in our already busy days to practice mindfulness, if you can be aware of the feeling of weight of a hairbrush in your hands  then you are already practicing meditation. To help you learn this and to help you develop your own mindfulness practice from this blog and continuing on, we will be offering you tips to build-your-mindfulness-practice. So keep reading, and at the end of each blog there will be a little actionable step for you to consider and to hopefully take.

DIY: Contact paper art
First I placed the contact paper on the wall, sticky side out, where Felix could reach. I secured it all around with tape and then I added the washi tape to create a cute boarder.

Here we go again: Our IVF Story and Starting a new chapter
I am writing this on the heels of having our review consultation for IVF. As we embark on this exciting adventure again, it has struck me that details from our previous experience is now a blur.

How can we bring mindfulness into our daily lives?

I hope you all had a lovely Valentine’s Day! Although Valentine’s Day may have become a very commercial affair I think it is a beautiful opportunity to check in with ourselves and see how much love we are showing ourselves. It can sometimes feel easier to show love to those around us so what would it be like if you were to show yourself that same love? Is there something you could do for yourself today that you would encourage your kids to do to each other? Just something to think about before we dive into all things mindfulness! 

If you have any questions for Katie, we would love to hear from you. Please leave your questions in the comments and we will do our best to answer them.
