It is going to be the first year of parenting two young children. Practice the art of minimal expectations, let things go, be kind to ourselves. If you only survive the year, that’s grand. 


For second baby:

Do what works and makes things feel manageable, not what others want you to do or what your past-self hoped you would do. Lean into what you actually want/need in that moment. 

Push ourselves to get out there at weekends, not be confined to a two-mile radius around the house because it feels easier. We’re all happier for getting out and doing something different. 

It’s all just a phase. Things come back, you come back. Be patient. 

If there’s the opportunity for a nap, take it. 


A less full diary. More space for spontaneity. 


Make exercise work in some fashion. It’s okay to prioritise re-building strength after pregnancy/birth. 


Take the year in chunks. Plan seasonally. Could-do lists at the start of each fresh season.
