Work/life balance is challenging on a good day, but you have an added level. Your work and personal life can easily merge if you don’t set boundaries. Mom guilt is real and normal. Your boys are loved and well cared for. You’re an amazing mom, Elle. Always remember, taking care of yourself will help you be a better mom. Fill your cup so that you can share ❤
I feel the motherhood chat so much! Just wanted to say I hope you find comfort in knowing you’re not alone in having these thoughts!! Also wanted to point out that it is also very healthy to model to your children looking after yourself too. It’s also important for them to see you be Elle & to work hard at your career and achieve goals and helps show them how to do it for themselves in the future! You’re doing amazing and your babies are very loved and looked after, keep on smashing it❤
P.S - you’re probably balancing it much better than you think but us mums are always so hard on ourselves because we always want to make sure we are doing the best for our babies.
Elle, Thank You so much for sharing your holiday adventure to London! I really enjoy seeing your videos! You, Connor, and the boys really brighten my days! You give my life a brighter perspective and I appreciate you so much! Keep enjoying the holiday season! I send You, Connor, Saint, and Romeo Lots of Love! ❤️🌲❤️🎅🏻❤️🌲❤️🎅🏻❤️🌲❤️🎅🏻❤️🌲❤️🎅🏻❤️🌲
This came at the perfect time♥️ I haven’t seen my husband in nearly 3 months as he’s been on deployment, he comes home today and the day is dragging ♥️
What you have to remind yourself is that "most" working mothers do get 9 to 12 months off work with their baby when they are born so we have all that time with the baby and then go into the struggles of juggling and balance the mum work life.. Self employed working mums don't take that time so it's a juggle from pretty much 6 weeks post partum... Give yourself some grace 🙏🤍 plus when you're away from the babas I'm sure they are with dad or aunties and that's how it should be you don't need to take all the weight just because you birthed them.. It takes a village 🎉
Have you looked into putting saint into nursery even just for the morning or the afternoon doesn’t have to be all day just so you can breathe and he can socialise with other kids and it helps them in the long run especially when he eventually starts reception just a thought obviously it’s your decision❤️❤️
I was shocked when I saw Romeo. He looks so big from the last video you posted. Even his hair and looks have changed. I absolutely love watching the boys grow. You guys are so blessed with a beautiful family ♥️🙏
Nursery will give you both a rest and let you spend time together and do things for you. It will also be great for Saint’s development/making friends. I put my daughter 2 days in nursery (8:30-15:30) and it was amazing, I extended my working hours and got all my errands done. Hope this helps ❤
Have you considered putting Saint in nursery? He would potentially benefit from the socializing and you would have a bit of a break. I have an 11 month old and a 2 year old and my biggest is in daycare full time and it’s been great for him and for me to be able to bond with my youngest where they are so close in age. Every family is different so maybe it doesn’t work for yours but it’s just a thought 😊
Agreed, it’s really obvious as a previous early years educator who has been to nursery and who hasn’t when the child starts school. It builds such vital early social skills!
You are both amazing! It's so hard when you have kids to balance it all. You guys do a fantastic job what a cute little toy Saint picked from Lego. Lego and McDonalds what a day❤❤
I took my youngest who is 3 on the exact same Disney Cars ride a few weeks ago at Windsor fireworks and the look on his face living his Lightening McQueen driver best life was one of the most magical moments of that evening! Saint looked like he loved every second of it to ❤️
The baby sleep book by Alison is so good! I got that because you mentioned it with Saint. I swear it’s the reason my son slept through early and still sleeps lovely to this day! ❤️🥰
I have been using brunette shampoo on my blonde/grey natural hair, have had fantastic result, it's like rose gold, I love it. This has taken about 20 shampoos though, I had got fed up with the purple shampoos and the lavender coloured hair. It has opened up my life, I am now wearing gold jewellry and beige gold clothes and footwear.
It’s lovely seeing your videos. One thing I do get concerned or curious about is how much people depend on these videos to bring happiness into their lives (from the comments). I just hope that people can find actual happiness from people in their lives and not from influencers on RUclips no matter how lovely they are as Elle and Connor are ❤
So nice to see you back! Missed your uploads. I haven’t made it to the end yet but just had to ask what skin makeup you had on at Winter Wonderland? Your skin is glowing! 😍
I hear you. It’s so hard trying to do it all and deal with the guilt of leaving your little one to work and also wanting to work. You have to do what’s right for you! With the sleeping bunnies, which package have you gone for? One of the workshops or the 1:1 package? Really struggling with my almost 7 month old’s sleep, feel like we would be in such a better place if he’s sleep was better. I’ve heard a lot of positive things about sleeping bunnies xx
I feel you with the packing thing 😅 I have 3 kids, youngest is 3 months and we just stayed in Bristol for a night last weekend.. pretty sure I packed up half the house. You need soo much for a baby 😂
okay but why did I get teary watching Saint on that Car ride and the pure enjoyment in his little face! your family makes me so excited to have children
I have a 1 year old and 2year old I work full time as a mobile carer and omg I'm so ready for a brake from my beautiful family. I have still not found mu self yet ❤️
Girl, get yourself a Nuby rapid cool. Life changing! Ask the coffee shop for boiling water and you can make your bottle as normal and cool it in the Nuby in minutes xx
Juggling motherhood and work is so hard!! trying to be the best mumma, friend, partner, having the house clean, also working and trying to look half human because us mummas rush around so much 😅! But we can’t fulfil everything at once, and thats okay ❤!! Sending big hugs xxx
hi you and connor went somewhere just outside bath for a country pub roast dinner - i’ve been looking in all the vlogs to try and find it as me and my partner are coming up this weekend but no idea what is - can you help at all ? 🤣
Omg I was at winter wonderland last night. Came down to London from Durham. Was so good but so busy. Working Mother of 3 insisting that you should put kids in nursery! lol 😂 buy really it helps them so much!!! And you need balance on your life. The rest of us that don’t work from home have time off when we go to work. Trust me. Put them in a couple of days a week and use them days to work and clean and do laundry and then when your with them you can give them your time xxx
Yes I totally agree and understand where you are coming from. It’s completely normal as a mum to feel that way.
