Ok I am slightly late as we’re more than half way Ok I am slightly late as we’re more than half way through, but I think I can get away with it. I saw this post on @luluboutique_berkshire and it’s such a lovely idea. 

Half way through the year is a great time to reflect, adjust your goals, realign them if you need to, and celebrate all the wins. I don’t think we ever do that enough as small business owners. 

So here are my wins and what I am hoping to do in the second half of the year. I think after a rather large side quest, which actually I do think was the right decision… I am on track 🙈. 

Come and tell me how you are doing.

This trend is absolutely cracking me up. I have se This trend is absolutely cracking me up. I have seen some really good ones and I could not resist joining in. So if Netflix did a documentary on being a social media manager… it might look like this 🤣

If you have a go tag me in it, I would love to see yours!

I don’t have a new Instagram update for you this w I don’t have a new Instagram update for you this week, but I do have a WhatsApp one. You can now save a username to your profile so people can find you by your name. Don’t worry there are some security measures if you don’t want just anyone adding you. 

It’s not rolled out everywhere yet, but you can go and reserve your username so no one else gets it. 

On this carousel I talk you through how to do that. Tell me will you be going and reserving yours?

Today was very much a fill my cup day. We try to g Today was very much a fill my cup day. We try to give our children one on one time where we can and today was Bo’s turn (the big ones still had school). He had no idea we were taking him to Legoland and he was so excited. 

I left my corporate career because I just couldn’t find a way to make it fit with being a mum too. And today was another reminder of why I do this. To be there and to be able to do things like this. 

When you see posts that when you work with small business owners you are not paying for yachts and multiple houses, it’s so true. You help pay for things like this, and I am very grateful.

God end of term is a lot isn’t it? Sports days, ha God end of term is a lot isn’t it? Sports days, half days for heat waves, inset days, all the days. Trying to run your own business and today decided to chuck tooth pain in to the mix… fun times & emergency dentist tomorrow. 

Do you know what the best medicine is? Other than a 10 day working week, free childcare, a personal chef and housekeeper… which I’m not going to get. It’s time to dance it out! 

How are you finding this time of year? And also send me your best soft food suggestions and I am not allowed to eat anything that needs chewing at the moment
