I am currently on mat leave with a 2mo and wild 2.5 yo. I am really struggling. I think I need something to look forward to every day so wondered what your daily pleasure is? Need some inspiration!

Right, this sounds a bit sad but I put my diffuser on in my room with some really nice essential oils. It wasn’t expensive but it’s so nice! Makes the room smell lush and i find it really relaxing. Didn’t expect to like it that much GrinSometimes I put a face pack on and sit next to it with a glass of wine. I don’t have children (although I work with them) though so it is easy to get the uninterrupted time.

I have a really nice breakfast. Every day. Splash out on lovely fruit and the expensive granola and my favourite yogurt. Also scented candles in the evening, nice hot chocolate. So I have something nice at each end of the day!

Dreaming while I'm asleep. It's a change of scenery.

A cup of decaf tea and a really nice chocolate, with either book or TV, after kids are asleep and chores done.

Bakedbeeeen I have the same breakfast as you and it's my fav meal of the day ( I have pineapple with granola and Greek yogurt ) .
I also love feeding the birds every morning - their chatter always makes me smile.

Decent coffee - and, probably of no help to you, but I make sure I have plenty of time to myself Blush - I really need a lot of 'me time' - in fact my DH only been home a couple of hours after a 24 hour business trip (yes, permitted under Covid guidelines) and I'm already feeling irritated ... and I absolutely made sure I only had one child who is now at Uni.

After my two year old goes to bed I like to put on some music and dancing around in my kitchen, usually in a rather seductive manner, think pussycat dolls style. My neighbours would probably be mortified if they saw me, thankfully our kitchen window faces a 30ft wall and my only audience is the washing machine and microwave.

I wake up before DD and DH to have a coffee and read The Times.

A bath, every single evening after everyone has gone to bed, with bubbles or oil and either a newspaper or a book. Perfect!

Getting a newspaper every day. I can’t always be bothered to read it, but I scrapbook, so I know the paper will be read eventually.

It was a swim on my 3 work days at lunchtime but that’s out the window now. So it’s currently going to bed early and reading or MNing.
