Life has suddenly gone from 100 miles an hour to a snails pace and I am so incredibly grateful to be able to spend so much extra time with my little man before the baby comes!! Its tough work while being pregnant but its worth every bit of extra effort to be able to watch him navigate the world and learn so many new things every day. From the first mama in the morning to the last tantrum tears at night 🤣. What a journey through trucks, tractors, bow wows, beaches and sand pits! This is the hardest job of all my jobs. But its still my favourite 💙.

This definitely beats lying in a bed in CUMH. 🤪💙 I am so grateful for the incredible staff and the work they do day in day out that gets over looked. Ye do not get paid enough!! Grateful to have my health and baby all good! But Im not gonna lie Im so glad to feel the freedom of summer and see the back of the place until our baby arrives.

Just a quick thank you to our teachers, Caoimhe & Silvana for holding the fort in the studio. To my students for being so patient with cancelled classes. All the support from our families for minding my little man.

Health is wealth and I am now on a full halt! Enjoying some summer while we have it. I will slowly start to reply to everyone and return to the laptop from next week. 💫 If I havent responded I am not ignoring you I was just minding me and now I am just cuddling my little Paudie & of course Tim 🤣😘.

Keeping up that 7am morning movement 💪🤰🏼

⚡️Is it hard to get out of bed.... Yes
⚡️Could I make a thousand excuses not to..... Yes
⚡️Could I use pregnancy as an excuse... Yes
⚡️Do I chose myself and want to feel good for the day.... Absolutely!
⚡️Is it worth it .... Always!


Sometimes you just need to get out of your own way! Movement during pregnancy is so important. I cant stress this enough. I am so glad the research is changing and more women are choosing to continue their movement practice and even take it up while pregnant..

Throwback to one of our smaller member meet ups in Feb / March . We did a private pole fitness class with .b with .dance.cork

Juggling mum life , work and a business has its challenges but swinging around a pole on a Sunday morning, pregnant with some of our members makes it worth it 🤣

Highly recommend Natalias classes 💖

Mum life is def my fav chapter of this journey. I dont miss the parties, the nights out, the holidays to crazy places alone, the freedom or the sleep ins, I'd swap it all again and again for this.

Dont get me wrong, it was fun while it lasted, but this chapter is a whole new me. The healthiest version of me so far. I couldn't think of anything worse than my 20s right now.

This is it, life is here watching tiny toes walking sandy beaches, breathing through challenging moments, late nights with no sign of bed time for extra cuddles, hours watching a battery powered Thomas the tank engine make it way around the same track. 🤣 !

This is exactly why I am here. To be a mum! Your mum. Thanks for choosing me, little Paudie and bump.

It's a privilege I will never take for granted!💫
Everyday I count my blessings. Time is going too quick.

When they tell you to slow down! .... Our last summer with the Betty our van 💙. We need to create lots of memories. This was wholeheartedly the best thing we ever did. Converting a small van into a hotel on wheels. We get to park on the beach with the best views, it never actually got fully completed and wont now either with another one on the way 🤰🏼, but we got to use it sooooo much over the last 3 years. I just hope the next person loves her as much as we do!
