Time is tricky. Sometimes it drags on and on , while other times it seems like years have passed in a blink of an eye.

I’ve been open about slowing down lately. Trying to soak in that last couple months before returning to work, but I’ve also been slowing down for these one on one moments.

Less phone, less chores, less tv. Just time in the sun, with full attention. It’s challenging but the reward has been huge.

I’ve seen the micro moments that I might have missed. The small moments of play between the two kids, the brief snuggles on the sun couch before he runs off to play, watching him growing braver and bolder and more independent.

I’m not sure how I’ll feel when I finally start back at work, but I know 100% that I’ll be glad I stopped and slowed down this summer.

To Santa or Not to Santa? The newest debate that has the parenting community up in arms ⬇️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cancel culture is at it again and this time the target is good ‘ol St.Nick
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re just coming to the heated debate that was first introduced to me by .mama I’ll fill you in quickly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Santa is now a no good Rascal who teaches kids to distrust their parents. Telling your kids that Santa gives you presents takes away from the reality that parents are the true heroes of Christmas and that Santa is just for scaring your kids into being good.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a kid who grew up sleeping under the tree each Christmas Eve and would wake up to delight as the presents that Santa and even the reindeer left, I can tell you that I don’t distrust my parents any less.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Obviously Each parent can choose what’s right for your family, but saying that revealing the secret of the Santa sham is a “truth building exercise” is a little ho ho horrible to me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you think? Should Santa stuff his own stocking this year or can we let kids hold onto a little Santa magic? Comment below ⬇️

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗢𝗳 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆

What if the kindest thing you can do today, is give yourself some self-care!

Here's 3 ways that you can 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲:

𝟭. 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗽 𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻. Give yourself the gift of a kitchen free night and order in your favourite meal! Pro tip: always order extra for that next day leftover lunch!

𝟮. 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵. Who doesn't love a good soak? Unfortunatley, most baths are interrupted by a splashing toddler. So once the kids are in bed, treat yourself to a glass of wine, a good book/podcast and soak in the good vibes. Trust me, it beats crashing in front of the TV for the 4th time this week.

𝟯. 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱. With a year of social isolation, sometimes the best gift you can give yourself is a good laugh with a friend, or two. I feel totally recharged after 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 "𝗺𝗼𝗺 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲" and just being myself, laughing with some girlfriends over zoom. Throw in a glass of wine, and it'll definetly make you feel revived again.

Double tap if you're doing something for yourself today 💖 Share your favourite way of recharging in the comments below 🔽

Whether you typically buy into Valentines Day normally or not, I think this year we can all use an excuse to celebrate, spread some love, hug and kiss our family and enjoy the small moments.

To my two Valentines Day Men. I love you both so so much ❤️ thanks for making 2020 and 2021 not so terrible.

In my ears this week, .co 's 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗠𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗜𝘁 podcast!

Since joining Laura's program, I am hooked you guys! I am a classic overthinker, people pleaser and procrastinator. All this combined means, 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲!

So this month, I have been crushing her podcast & 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 all while juggling being a full time RN, working mom and starting a side hustle!

What's on your playlist? Is it helping you achieve your dreams or taking you further from it?!

Every industry has it's gurus.

We have a tendancy to put people on a pedestal and look up to them like they are super-human!

But guess what? Here's something the gurus don't want you to know they are just like 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗘.

They have imperfect lives and challenges that they are constantly overcoming and 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 through. They just don't want to show it.

Inside .britton, I don't hold back on the real truth or hide what you need to know most. The ups, the downs, the mess and the 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀.

Want to know a secret?!

I am obssessed with watching Life hacks on Youtube! From slicing watermelons, to separating egg yolks with a drink bottle and getting ink out of a white shirt, I am hooked!

I'm also a fan of things that 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗲𝗿!

Here are my 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝟯 𝗵𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 every parent needs to know!

𝟭. 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 - Ugh, I know, I know. Making plans suck but they are sooo helpful! Having a set routine is so powerful for creating intentional time, having less stress and more down time! Plan out your day and evenings, so that by 1030pm, when you're half asleep on the couch, you feel like you've accomplished something and given yourself so much needed "you time"!

𝟮. 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘇 - Feeling down and totally overwhelmed?! Stop and take a deep breath and say as many things as you can think of that you are grateful for! It doesn't need to be complex or deep! Just start with your home, your family, your clean sheets, your warm clothes and go from there. Gratitude blitzing, raises our vibrations, opens our hearts to welcome calmness and can help reset your lizard brain that says "everything is going to hell in a hand basket". Curious?? Give it a try. You'll be high vibing in no time.

𝟯. 𝗣𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 - 😬 I know. Guilty party over here 🙋🏻‍♀️ But if I could summarize the biggest thing moms fear...missing out. But guess what? You're not. Those few hours between work and bed are precious, and putting intentional thought into being "with" can make a huge difference. So put down the phone and set time for family, of course after you've read this post and shared it with all your friends 😉

These past two years have been a whirlwind of change!

Between becoming a mom, learning to balance full time work and parenting and now most recently, investing in myself as a coach, I have been pushing my "safe zone" boundaries.
You know the ones that you when pass all you can think of is, "omg, did I make the right decision?!".

This year I have especially challenged myself to learning new skills and putting my passion for helping others to paper.

I'm not not ashamed to say that when I put that first deposit down on my training, I felt scared sh*tless. Investing in something just for myself is something I've never done before.

But here's what happened after jumping in. Things finally started moving forward. I stopped dreaming and started doing. I have a course framework being built, a new webpage coming in soon and eventually open doors for a few foundation students!

So if you're going through a time of change (good change, bad change, totally not sure change) and it's feels uncomfortable...keep pushing because on the other side...is something really good.

And, if you need a virtual cheerleader, I'm here.
