Tips & tricks for dating your other half when you’re in the midst of your parenthood era 👇🏻

Let’s face it - and let’s be honest -
Finding time for your other half when you’re both very busy parents is HARD.

But, we have to prioritise them every now & again, because it’s important to remember why you wanted a family and what life was life before that ♥️

Here’s how I try to make it a priority 👇🏻

Book it in - Put your date night in the diary and treat it like any other important appointment.

Keep It Simple - Opt for easy-to-plan activities to reduce stress and make it more likely you’ll follow through and actually enjoy yourselves!

Enrol someone you trust to take the children - if you book in enough advance (once a month for regular date days!) then hopefully this gives your trusted parents or helpers enough time to help!

Set Boundaries - Make a rule to not talk about work or parenting during your date! It’s a vibe killer and there is more to you than work and kids 🤣♥️

Be Flexible - Sometimes plans change; be open to switching dates or activities as needed.

Ideas if you’re stuck for a sitter -

At-Home Spa Night - Give each other massages, use face masks, and enjoy a relaxing evening at home.

Dinner and Dessert - Cook a special dinner together and then go out for dessert.

Wine Tasting at Home - Pick a few bottles of wine to taste and pair them with cheeses or other snacks!

Online Cooking Class - Take a virtual cooking class and learn to make a new dish together.

If you’ve got someone for the babes then get out and do what you love doing together!
Dancing and drinking, hiking up a mountain, countryside pub crawl, games days, eating your body weight in food, or stretch it to a weekend in Ibiza 👀 to name a few things we like to do 🤣

Who says weekend adventures can’t include family games night?!

Even on our weekend adventures, we make time for laughter, bonding, and a little healthy competition over our favourite games!
It’s important to keep up family traditions, no matter where we are 🫶🏼 and Harry gets fully invested in these nights!

We like our include the whole family too, it’s become part of our family weekends away ♥️

Of course, no games night is complete without a little drama—Grandpa usually has one too many shandy’s and forget how to play uno, or Daddy or grandad usually wins at monopoly and it usually ends in tears! Or divorce 😂

But at the end of the day, it’s all about creating those lush family memories.

Just give it up mama! 👇🏻

I did a long bloody time ago 🤣

I have two children that laugh in my face when I put them to bed now,so much so, that it’s easier to give in some nights and let them get straight into our bed!

To all the mamas out there, whether you’re co-sleeping or battling to keep your children in their own beds, running on empty and caffeine, you’re not alone 🫶🏼

Embrace the chaos, even though it can be tougher than tough, and remember, one day we’ll miss these nightly cameos ✨

Did you know that a positive morning mindset can transform your entire day?
It’s not all woo woo either 🤣

Save my 5 essential steps to start your day right and hit motherhood head on ✌🏼

Sounds bonkers - avoid your phone! Just for 30 minutes, but jumping straight on the screen can really set the tone for your day- and it can really bloody ruin it!

Write down or say it out Loud what you’re grateful for- bit woo woo I admit - but It actually works!
By just acknowledging what you’re grateful for that morning can really put a smile on your face ♥️

Get the kids in a routine - cuddle in bed (with milk for P) dressed for the day, down for breakfast, teeth, toilet, school run and walk!
Routine is what I thrive on 👀

Organise your day- if you love a list, make a list of the three things you want to achieve that day- outlining and prioritising your daily tasks helps you feel on track!

Go outside and breathe ♥️ get some fresh air, some steps in, a podcast or music on and move your body. Mindset shifts to a positive one with the help of some exercise.

A positive mindset will give you more patience and resilience, improved energy and motivation, better at solving problems, stronger relationships, and lifts your personal well being - and let’s be honest, as mamas we could do with a boost in all these areas! 🫶🏼

July has brought the sunshine ☀️
And time in the garden at last!

I don’t know whether it’s the nice weather, or the fact it’s now almost August, but this month has inspired me to start finding as many working mamas who want to change their lives, by being at home with their babies.

The mamas that want to have a career that runs in the background.

The mamas that want something for THEM!

The mamas that want to start saying YES to plans because they have the money that drives the freedom! ♥️

It’s lit some kind of fire in me 🔥

I chose my home, over the hustle ⬇️

I didn’t make the decision to work from home and start a business out of hate for my life.

I made the decision because I loved being at home & I wanted to do everything in my power to keep it that way.

It’s never really been out of hate, it’s the love that drove me ♥️

Let’s be real - It’s bloody hard 🥴

Ever wonder how I balance running an online business and being a full-time mama?
Because I question how I do it daily!

I talk a lot about being sick of juggling life.
Because it’s bloody hard.

But twelve months ago I got to choose my hard. And I’ll take this hard over anything else I’ve ever done in my life.

This hard is slowly building me the path to freedom.
The free life.
Where lack of money will no longer be a thing, and working 9-5 for someone else’s dreams is a distant memory.
To give the choice of spending time with who I want and how I want.

You get to choose your hard.
Choose it wisely ✨

Is your mental health in the bin too? 🚮

Running on a few hours sleep with a sick little 18-month old, I rushed out this morning after attempting to give my little Penny calpol to make it through the day! 😭

Spent a lot of the day trying to work, juggling my other job, and all the house jobs but gave up, entertaining Harry didn’t even happen 😭

Then to tackle dinner, cleanup, baths, and bedtime.
Anxiety is high with another sleepless night ahead.

Now, finally sitting down, I’m glued to my phone, creating content for my digital marketing business.
I’m exhausted and at my breaking point, but determined to make this business work for financial relief and more time with my kids.

I have never been so committed to learning, growing, and succeeding.
I’ve stayed positive, focused on success, and I know it’s just around the corner!

This is me being absolutely real and raw, not hiding or pretending that the path I’ve chosen is easy - but will it be worth it?
You better bloody believe it!

Running on fumes but fueled by determination.
Exhausted mum on a mission to turn dreams into reality.
Because Success is just around the corner ♥️

➡️ If you’re feeling brave, or maybe see this as your only way to freedom like me, then come join me on a journey to financial and time freedom ✨

When somebody with no kids asks me what it’s like being a parent 🤣

This is the exact description I would use 🤣

How do you describe being a mama?
Give me some more ideas in the comments ⬇️

18/07/2024

To my fellow co-sleeping mama 👇🏻

I see you every night, rocking and swaying.
You worry far too much, about what other people are saying.
Trying everything with no luck,
Bedtime routine, a bath & a book.
And most times when you finally give in,
You realise you’ve saved those little hearts from breaking.
They don’t want to be alone, & some nights they are so sad.
Because you mama, are their safe place, so please don’t feel so bad.
A sweaty head pressed against your chest,
A foot in your side, but you know best.
You know that like all phases, this one will pass too
But until then, at night, your babes might just need you ♥️

I have lost years having Harry get in with us.
But when he started sleeping in his own bed and stopped tiptoeing across the landing in the middle of the night, I missed him.
It felt so long in the moment, but I look back and it was fleeting 🥹

So on nights like this, I embrace it, the no space, teetering on the one inch of mattress I have, wrestling them like bears for the covers, and being kicked in the ribs all night, because how I love that I am their safe space ♥️

The mundane builds our lives ✨

The everyday little things we do as mamas usually go unseen, but are some of the most important work we’ll ever do!

It’s the little things like taking care of our little ones needs, and taking care of our home that build the foundation our children will stand on.

Building that foundation of love and connection that will last their lifetime 🥹

So when you are feeling discouraged in the mundane tasks of the day - myself included here - don’t forget the things you do on a daily basis over and over has a lasting effect on those little people ♥️

Feeling the magic in the mundane?
I’d LOVE to hear your favorite everyday moments as a mama and how they shape your family’s foundation.

Because it really is the little mundane moments mamas ♥️

The biggest risk is standing still 👇🏻

Are you second guessing your future?

Because this online business you have been watching and second guessing, could provide you with…..

Time with your children
Relief from financial stress
Days full of freedom and less work
A healthier lifestyle
Freedom to go anywhere, and do anything you want to do

Now ask yourself, if you don’t stop second guessing and you stand still without taking action, you’ll never find out how differently your life could be, how could that impact your happiness?

Don’t wait. Your future starts now mama, and I can help you on your journey 📲

Something that changed my life 👇🏻

Changing my mindset about how people treat me has been empowering!
I have been a renowned people pleaser my whole life and I’m really working on not being that person anymore, not to thwart point I don’t give a flying crap about anyone anymore 🤣
But to the point that if I’m not getting any effort out in with me, I will no longer make the effort either 😮‍💨

Here’s how I’ve stopped allowing others to treat me badly, or allowing me to feel not important enough to invest their time in 👇🏻

1. Set Boundaries:
Clearly define what is and isn’t acceptable behaviour.

2. Speak Up:
Communicate and let others know how their actions affect you.

3. Self-Respect:
Value yourself and recognise your worth.

4. Surround Yourself with Positivity:
Spend time with people who respect and uplift you.

5. Let Go of Toxic Relationships:
Distance yourself from anybody who consistently treat you badly!

6. Practice Self-Care:
Prioritise your mental and emotional well-being.

Don’t let anyone dim your light.
Take control and surround yourself with love and respect girl 💪🏼

And remember, life is too short for s**tty people!

Transforming family life through ambition and resilience. Ready to chase your dream? 🫶🏼

Having an online business as a mum and wife, has given me the flexibility to finally balance my family life and my work life, it’s set to help substantially contribute to our life financially, it has sky rocketed my personal growth, and is setting a positive example for my children too 🥹

Supporting my husband and reducing his stress is my goal, offering our family a freedom I once thought impossible 🥹

The point I’m trying to make is that
being a successful female entrepreneur while married, and a couple of kids thrown into the mix, shows the power of ambition and resilience. And the importance of following your dreams, and choosing a future that aligns with your core values ♥️

Together, we build, support, and grow.

How quickly is time passing you by mama?

I can tell you that although I’ve achieved so much in the last 8 years, it has flown by still 🥹

And as Harry’s birthday weekend starts, I am feeling a whirlwind of emotions as my firstborn little babe turns 8 on Sunday.

It’s a pure mixture of pride, nostalgia, and an overwhelming sense of love for my biggest babe.

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to start my own online marketing business.
This venture has given me the flexibility to be present for every birthday, school play, sports day, parents evening, and school trips.
No weekend work so I don’t have to sacrifice the fun, the hobbies, the weekends away, climbing mountains, going on adventures and being a family either.

It’s a true game changer to have a career that fits around my family, allowing me to cherish every moment and never miss out on the important milestones in my children’s lives, or the weekends doing what we love.

➡️ To all the other mamas out there craving more freedom and time with your kids, not wanting to miss a thing, then starting an online marketing business could be your perfect solution.

➡️ Embrace the flexibility and never miss a special moment again. If I can do it, so can you. And if you want me to start you in your journey to launching your own online business then drop ‘MILESTONES’ in the comments below 👇🏻

Because time really does fly when you’re raising a truly wonderful little human 💕

Misogynistic or clever? 👀

Intrigued by bold marketing but prefer authenticity? 👇🏻

I won’t lie, I lost my head when I first saw the adverts for the Yorkie chocolate bars back in the day!

And what did I do, I rushed straight out and I bloody bought one!

Nobody was telling me, or half the population of the UK that we couldn’t eat a chocolate bar!

Did Yorkie probably just double their sales, by making their chocolate exclusive to men?
They Probably did, yes!

Risky, but very smart marketing.

If building your own online marketing business, a business that is going to help you find time and financial freedom is something you’ve been hoping to jump into, then you will be pleased to know that if you decide to take the leap, I won’t ask you to take any risky marketing leaps like Yorkie 🤣

As effective as they probably were for Yorkie, it’s definitely not my vibe 👀

You will however have access to all the marketing strategies that you’ll need to build your business, to create ads that will lead you to your tribe of like minded girls, and you’ll be shown how you can use your social media very much in alignment with your everyday life, no gimmicks, no pretending to be somebody you’re not, just you, showing other women there is more to life than being chained to the 9-5 and missing their children grow up 🔥

At the end of the day, a good marketing strategy is what helps you keep in sync with your future consumers and teamies.

And with our kick ass business model and compensation plan, and knowing that you can just be your true authentic self, whilst building your own online business is what I can teach you 🫶🏼

➡️ Want to know how to launch your own online high ticket affiliate marketing business?
Excellent. Comment ‘YORKIE’ and I’ll send you your first step to freedom ♥️

Just living for the long weekends? 👇🏻

I was the exact same, and this has hand on heart been the first bank holiday that I have done relatively ‘normal activities’, not crammed loads in, and I have loved it.

I hear you say how mundane, but hear me out!

What I mean is my weekdays and weekends look so different now, in a sense that we don’t have to cram so many exciting activities into such a short space of time because we get to do this sort of thing on a regular basis now.

Launching my online marketing business has meant that whilst I focus on building it up in my own pockets of spare time, I also have the freedom to live life doing all of the fun things, and the everyday things too that we can often take for granted.

This business has given me the freedom to spend my time how I want to spend my time, doing the things I love, with the people I love.

Stop living for the long weekends and start living now ♥️

A letter to you mama ✉️

I cannot begin to express how resilient and bloody brilliant you really are.
How being a mama can be totally amazing, but hard. So rewarding, but so mundane.
So fulfilling, but so damn lonely.
And without sleep, or a lot of broken sleep, how exhausting it is every day.

But the thing is, is none of us are alone, in this motherhood thing, or in how we are feeling.
We are in it together. 🫶🏼

We are really fu***ng amazing.
We show up EVERY SINGLE DAY regardless of what’s going on.
We are strong. We are selfless. We are bloody everything we have to be.

We are stronger than we give ourselves credit for, but never feel like you need to be strong on your own.

Sometimes we just need reminding we are bloody brilliant, and we are not alone ♥️

♥️

A bitter pill to swallow…

But beyond lucky for our little ones. Shoutout to all the grandparents who choose to show up, who call to check in, and who love their grandchildren like they do us.

You make this world a better place and you have no idea how special you are.

And to the parents, parenting without the help of their parents - your love is enough - your babies are so lucky to have you in their corner.

You are amazing ♥️

Hey all!

I’m Tor, (with one of my little babes, Harry)
I live in a small town in East Yorkshire, but spent my whole life growing up over the border in North Yorkshire! ♥️
I’m 37, but still think I’m at least 25…
I am married, we have known each other for around 16 years, and we’ve been together 12 almost, we have two children, Harry 7 & Penny 1.

I love weekends away, from hiking in the lakes to partying in Ibiza still! I love northern soul music, house music, and anything in between!
I enjoy good coffee, staying fit, day drinks with the girls, and mostly spending time with my little team ♥️

The very main reason for starting my business, my family. Realising there is more to life than the daily grind, having to choose between work and my children, and working towards reclaiming my own dreams again.
Understanding that retiring at 67+ is obscene and not an option for me, I had to jump in with both feet.

The main change this business has provided me with is helping find me again, helping me stop juggling daily life demands, and figuring out who I am again. Providing me the time to choose exactly how my days look now.
Plus the community of (mainly) women is the most empowering, inspirational group of girls I’ve ever been surrounded by ✨

Nothing like coming away for the weekend with the girls, and not bringing your bloody walking boots!

The laughs we’ve had so far have been more than worth it though, slipping 10823 times scaling down a muddy hill side has probably only added to my rib strain from laughing! 🤣

A break away with your girls is so good for your soul.
A break away reminds you, are you to still.
Being a mama is the best job in the world, but sometimes you just need to be you ♥️
