Every now and then it hits me that I moved across the world, built a life, and am raising two little boys here.

Which, when you really think about it, yes, is slightly unhinged behaviour, but also…kind of impressive.

Anyway. Just a reminder for any other mums doing life a little far from home: you’re probably doing better than you think 🤍
