I know you’ve lived abroad before and I was wondering if you’d consider moving & living abroad with your son? And also it’s something I’ve always liked the idea of, would you recommend it? 💛 thank you for the perfect holiday read, I loved reading about Flo and her dysfunctional-functional family, hard relate to that!
Oh, thank you for reading! As for moving abroad with my kid... my parents would actually, literally, genuinely kill me. BUT! Part of my manifestation mantra is about having the means to travel more often. I'd love to show him the world so that one day he's unafraid of showing it to himself :)
(But if you are able to live abroad for a bit... I say do it! It doesn't have to be forever! Or like, a month somewhere... that would be awesome. Live like a local but know you're coming home at the end of it!)
Well I finally managed to find my Substack notifications 🫣 fair enough, it’s good to be tied to family. Also huge yes to a month or so I really want to do that! That’s something I’m aiming at.
I've started to plan baths. It sounds a bit odd but like you say, if it's not in the diary it won't happen. So I like to try and plan ahead what evening it will be manageable and then look forward to it! It's easier to enjoy it and luxuriate in it if I know I've scheduled the time 🫧 Also, a nice coffee I've not made myself once a week and a little bit of time to read every day!
Planning baths sounds heavenly. In fact, I am very aware that any time "off" can often be better when planned, because then there's no guilt attached to it? So this has been a great reminder for me! Thank you!
I laughed way too hard at "Nobody ever died from wearing a crumpled top or having hair so long it’s in their eyes." only because I've taken to picking up my son's crumpled school shirts from the floor one minute before we head out the door, smell it, and if it doesn't smell terrible, throw it on him and call it good.

Visible dirt = okay, fine, wash it
No visible dirt = you’re good! Onwards!!
