| | 🧘🏾♀️Melanie's Weekly Self Care Tip As soon as you wake up, open the curtains, even if you aren't hopping out of bed immediately. The sunlight will hit your eyes and generate wake-up hormones and serotonin, and you will wake up so much easier! I remember when willow was a baby I'd bring her in to bed to breastfeed when she woke at 6am, and I used to keep the curtains shut and found it so hard to actually get out of bed but as soon as I started getting sunlight onto me I felt so much more awake. |

💅🏻 What I’m Loving This Week! 🩺HealthLearning:Any medication with antihistamine properties (including some antidepressants) can cause weight gain. 👩👧👧 Motherhood:We went away this week to Mount Martha and it was just another healthy reminder to surrender in motherhood. As we were on our way down the beach, Hunter spiked a fever and was so unwell for the next 4 days with a temp of close to 40 degrees, lethargic, napping a lot, and a sore throat. We couldn't do much at all. I was so excited to spend entire days at the beach, lunches at cafes, Arthurs seat chair lift, etc but we spent most of the time relaxing around. I had 4 hours sleep for the first two nights because her fever was so high and she was so unwell. I had such high expectations and felt like I had failed the other two girls on the holiday because I was so disappointed at how little we did. It felt like the perfect mother myth, I imagined a perfect holiday, it didn't turn out that way, and I felt guilty that it didn't and was so attached to the idea of really long beach days swimming in the girls but we spent majority of the time inside the airbnb (the weather was really crappy too). 🛍New things: Frankie 2023 Diary - a fabric bound adorable diary, with the best graphics/illustrations and it's 30% off! I always buy the Frankie annual diaries, I haven't found one that I love as much as theirs. 💻Show:OMG Your Honor Season 2 has come out, it's on Stan and we loved Season 1. The first season is about a judge's son who kills a boy during a hit and run. After finding out, the judge realises that the boy he killed is the son of the biggest crime boss and he tries desperately to protect his own son by hiding the crime - which goes against all of his convictions/morals. |
