In the UK, we're now part way through the second week of the summer holidays, and I know how hard it can be. You have work, the heat, life, and now full time child activity provider/cook/cleaner/fixer/adjudicator of sibling squabbles to add to the list. It's a lot.

As a mum of two lively boys, I wanted to share some tips that have helped me this summer holiday so far, just in case one helps you. I'm not perfect (at all), suffer from the mum guilt the same as everyone else I know, but I really do think that the tips and, I guess, insight gathered from managing twins alongside being self employed could help you if you're struggling.

Listen, enjoy, get yourself a cup of tea, cut yourself some slack, and PLEASE share whatever hacks and tips are helping you this summer too! We're in this together!
