I love the word nourish! My word this year is learning. I want to learn more (especially about Substack), and I’m about to become a mum again which is a big learning curve 😅

Learning is always a good one! Substack feels like one big learning curve, doesn’t it? I am still trying to figure it out myself.

Congratulations on becoming a mum again! ❤️ My daughters are 7 years apart so when I had my youngest, there were definitely some things I had to remember again 😂

There’ll be 7 years between my two, so if you’ve any tips I’d be very grateful 😅. I feel like I’ve forgotten everything!

I’m really loving Substack though! ☺️

I think the hardest thing I had to grapple with was just how utterly exhausted I was. With my firstborn, I vaguely remember being tired adjusting to life with a newborn and all that came with it. But with my youngest, the exhaustion was quite overwhelming and also, still having to take care of everyone else, and the house, etc... maybe also because I was older, not sure if that had anything to do with it?

I guess I would say is absolutely be gentle with yourself and if you need help, ask for it ♥️

Oh, and make sure your kitchen is stocked with ready-made snacks and such, so that you have some food to nosh on once you are back home with the baby. It is once less thing to worry about 😊

Nourish is a beautiful word! I'm making some similar adjustments in my life - meditation, silence, writing, plant-based eating. My word(s) is inner peace.
