Celebrating Mother's Day with Sophie, Head of Brand, Francesca and Baby on the way...!

What do you love most about being a Mum?

So far my favourite thing about motherhood is watching Francesca grow and blossom into her BIG little personality. Francesca is 5 and every day she surprises me with something new – something she’s created, something new she’s learned or her hilarious little sense of humour. I love nurturing and encouraging the person she is becoming.

What has motherhood taught you?

I am someone who likes to be busy, always looking ahead, and thinking about what’s next. Motherhood has taught me to try and slow down, have patience and be present in the moment - I’m still learning.

Do you have any tips for all the Mums juggling it all? How do you try and balance work, family and your own wellbeing?

I feel that I have only just started to find my flow. It is impossible to find a perfect balance every week. Some weeks things come up with Francesca and it’s harder to be 100% on 100% off the time at the office. Other weeks might be crazy busy at work and then the balance feels off at home. I was quite hard on myself in the early years of Motherhood but I have learnt to go with the flow a little more now. It’s always a juggle but if you can try and go with it rather than fight against it you’ll hopefully find a balance that works.
