My husband has taken up part-time study, which means the things he would normally help with the kids (after work) I now have to. I've also chosen to undergo something new for myself, which takes time away from my regular routine.

I guess it's having that patience to accept that some things can't be done in the same way, or for the same amounts of time as I devoted to them before. I do hope to get back to the more creative things I enjoy, as that really is what I'm missing the most. Hope all is well down on your farm.

Plus adjusting to being a working mum! I have to say I’ve started back this year and it feels a lot calmer. Still busy but I’m finding my rhythm. I think the first few months are just like that when starting a new role.
