A little reminder I needed today...The mum baking sourdough probably has a basket of washing to fold.The mum smashing her career might be ordering takeaway for the third night this week.The mum with the spotless house might be desperate for five minutes alone.The mum at the gym might have toys covering every inch of her lounge room.We see one tiny square of someone else's life and compare it to every messy corner of our own.But behind every perfectly timed reel or beautifully styled photo is a pile of jobs, tired eyes, and someone doing the best they can.No one is doing it all.And if you're exhausted, emotional, growing a baby, raising little people, working, and wondering why you can't keep up...You're carrying a lot and no one is doing it all, I promise 🤎 by @andikennedy__

This is living, Barry 🤍There’s something about those quiet moments after a big day on holiday... sitting out on the balcony, sharing stories, laughing about the day, and just slowing down together.Something we have been desperately craving these last few months 🥹. This 100% muslin cotton throw has quickly become one of our favourite things to pack. It’s so soft, folds up nice and small, and is perfect to throw over your lap when the breeze picks up. It’s lightweight and breathable during the day, but still cosy enough for those cooler evenings.It will be coming on every trip from now on.Gifted by @fleece 🤍☁️🌞 by @andikennedy__

I don’t usually share stuff like this, but tonight I feel like maybe I should.From the outside, life probably looks busy and beautiful. Two healthy kids, another on the way, work, family, weekends full of sport and adventures, trying to keep all the balls in the air.And it is beautiful.But sometimes it also feels really heavy.For weeks I’ve been quietly carrying the worry of our baby’s follow-up scan after they found a small cyst on the brain. I have complete trust that God is in control, but I don’t think I realised how much fear I’d been holding onto until this week when we got the reassuring news that it’s now less than 1mm.I had been so terrified that I hadn’t told anyone... and now here I am telling the internet (sorry mum). Then I got sick, one by one we all got hit with something, Brad and I have both been working full-time, the kids have been fighting nonstop, and somewhere along the way I forgot to check in with myself.Today, I missed my Nan’s 99th birthday lunch and our little Willow had a scare that ended with a bruised little face.She’s okay. The baby is okay. Everyone is okay. I miss my nan. But tonight, after trying to hold it all together, I sat on the lounge while the kids watched ABC Kids and I just cried.Not because of one thing, but because of all the little things that have been quietly adding up.I’ve been more impatient than I’d like to admit. I’ve felt guilty, overwhelmed, exhausted and like I’m constantly trying to be everything for everyone.Maybe it’s pregnancy hormones.Maybe it’s the mental load.Maybe it’s just a hard day. Social media has a funny way of making it seem like everyone else is coping effortlessly, but I know that isn’t true.So here’s my reminder to myself as much as anyone else that not every day is sunshine and rainbows.Sometimes life is beautiful and hard at the very same time.I’m so grateful for the reassuring scan, for our Willow being okay, and for this beautiful life God has given us.But tonight I’m also giving myself permission to admit that sometimes I’m not ok.And if you’re quietly carrying more than anyone realises, I hope tomorrow feels a little lighter for you too 🤍 by @andikennedy__

Then never actually getting around to it because there’s always something (or someone) else that needs you first.So when I can do my nails at home, that’s the kind of self-care I can get behind even if I get interrupted 😆💕 Mums, tell me I’m not alone. The cutest sets from @candyclawsco 💅 saves me time and $$$ and there are so many choose from 😍🤌🏻 by @andikennedy__

Sometimes I have to remind myself that while I’m stressed because she’s climbing, running, jumping and giving me mini heart attacks... the sound in her head is probably just do do do do do She doesn’t know what danger is yet. She doesn’t understand why I suddenly raise my voice when she runs towards the road or tries to launch herself off the couch.She’s not trying to make my day harder. She’s just two years old, curious about everything, and learning as she goes.Parenting toddlers is basically being their safety officer while they’re living their best life and gosh it’s hard but it’s so worth it 🤍What’s the wildest thing your toddler has done that has had you at the edge of your seat? 😮‍💨 👇🏼 #toddlers #parentingishard by @andikennedy__

One thing that got me through those rough first trimester days was finding little things that actually helped. I was SO SICK!! 😮‍💨 I was constantly nauseous, feeling so flat, and no matter how much water I drank I still felt thirsty. One day I was scrolling when I came across HydraMamma💧✨It’s become one of those things I always have on hand because it tastes so good and makes staying hydrated feel a whole lot easier.Pregnancy is wild... one minute you’re craving ice cold drinks, the next you’re crying because you don’t know what you feel like 😂For me, having something refreshing that I genuinely enjoy drinking has been a little win during this pregnancy. I wish I had it for my other pregnancies. Any other mums find themselves thirsty ALL. THE. TIME? 👇🤍My favourite flavour has been tropical, which flavour should I try next? @miniandme.co by @andikennedy__
