The Gauntlet Aberdeen.
8th overall, and 5th in my age group. 30-39 is made up of a lot strong women 💪🏻. Delighted with the result (even if the burpees almost finished me), had great fun on the competition floor, and my knee didn’t hurt at all 😊

I’m still figuring out how to train around 3 small people, running my own business and a small support network, but what yesterday showed was that if you show up consistently you can still get results, and you can still achieve hard things.

The 20 minute workouts, the time efficient gym sessions, the runs accompanied by children on bikes, the chaotic short blasts, they all add up when you focus on doing them consistently, not perfectly.

The best part though?
Watching some friends/fellow mums/TMH class attendees absolutely smashing their first hybrid race. I get as much pleasure supporting, as I do competing and I can’t wait to encourage some more mums to take on the challenge. The Gauntlet is the perfect introduction to hybrid racing. The atmosphere was amazing and the volunteers/organising team were so supportive.

Here’s hoping they bring The Gauntlet back to Aberdeen next year.

If you can’t wait that long, why not sign up to The Gauntlet Glasgow in January. The perfect goal to keep you focused through Autumn/Winter. I’ll be there, as will Finn, who is taking on the Legacy race with my sister ❤️

Who’s tempted?

Maybe we’re overcomplicating play.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.

I haven’t shared as much play content over the summer, partly because our days have been so unpredictable. We’ve spent lots of time outside, mainly exploring the world around us.

And honestly? I didn’t feel the need to plan much more than that.

But it’s also made me question whether we’ve started to overthink play.

We’re constantly shown ideas that are beautifully set up, carefully planned and Pinterest-worthy. And while there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, it can sometimes leave us feeling like good play needs to look a certain way.

And I don’t think it does. Since getting back into our usual routines, I’ve been reminded that play isn’t just something we need to give our children to keep them busy.

It’s an opportunity to connect with them and to step into their world for a little while. To put the phone down, forget about the washing, the emails and everything else on your to-do list, and simply be present.

Yesterday, I decided I needed to get better at this again.
I spent just 15 minutes with each of the girls, doing something they wanted to do.

We baked. We did a simple cutting and sticking activity inspired by a favourite story. There was no elaborate set-up. No perfect end result. No beautiful photo for Instagram. Just chatter, laughter and connection.

And honestly, those 15 minutes made such a difference.

So if you’ve been feeling like you should be doing more play with your child, perhaps the answer isn’t another activity to add to your list.

Maybe it’s simply 15 minutes of following their lead.

Play doesn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful.
It doesn’t need to be educational, aesthetic or perfectly planned.

Sometimes, the simplest moments are the ones our children remember most.

But if you feel you need just a little inspiration sometimes, head to the website where you’ll find some ideas or join us in the membership where you’ll get access to little invitations to play that will provide opportunities for connection.

Save this as a reminder: play doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful!

Something different from me today and the first time sharing a full day of eating! Here is how I fuel my body to support my physical and mental health.

While most days look like this, skipping lunch can sometimes be my downfall and I definitely pay for it by mid-afternoon! I’m working hard to change this by planning my lunches just like I do breakfast and dinner.

Today was great because proper pre- and post-workout fuel kept my snacking to a minimum.

I don’t track my food at the moment and the 80/20 lifestyle works perfectly for me right now. But if my goals change, I might start to implement this.

Planning ahead makes a world of difference. Inside The Thriving Mum Hub membership, we have meal plans to inspire your week and make fuelling your body simple.

Let’s inspire each other: what’s your go-to pre-workout snack? Drop it in the comments to help out another mum!

P.s. there is a good chance there will be a cup of tea and biscuit later ☕️

It was a week of mixed adventures.

From exploring some local woodlands, to Munro bagging in the Cairngorms and bike rides along the Deeside Railway Line.

I honestly feel so grateful to live in a part of the country that gives you all these things, pretty much on your doorstep.

It might be a quiet week of adventures this week, but I’ll make sure I post some more inspiration to get outside soon ⛰️

My walks are usually uploaded to Strava, but if you ever have any questions, please get in touch.

I don’t know what’s happened to summer here in Scotland, but it’s feeling rather like autumn already. 🍂

And whilst I’m definitely keen for the sun to make an appearance again before summer is over, it’s also got me looking forward to the cosy vibes of autumn and winter.

More importantly, November sees the first day retreat from The Thriving Mum Hub, and we are now in full planning mode.

Ever wondered what it’s like inside Cluny Castle, this is your opportunity.

Cluny Castle is a beautiful, historic castle nestled in the tranquil Aberdeenshire countryside, and is the perfect venue for our November retreat.

Throughout the day we will have exclusive use of the castle. We’ll hopefully be able to make the most of the wonderful grounds, with workouts on the front lawn and guided runs or walks along the surrounding trails. There will of course be an alternative indoor space if needed.

We’ll also be using some of the beautiful rooms inside the castle for our Pilates workout, journalling session and a space to come together to enjoy some delicious food and moments to relax. Think fire on & comfy sofas.

This day is all about someone else making the plans for you. Because, more often than not, it’s always us making sure everyone has what they need.

You simply have to turn up and let everything else be taken care of.

We hope it will provide you with an opportunity to reflect, reset and recharge as we head into the winter season.

Spaces are limited and nearly half the spots have been taken already. You can secure your spot today with just a £25 deposit, and payment plans are available.

Your future self definitely won’t regret you booking this day in your diary. ❤️

As we step into a new academic year here in Scotland (more of a reset for me than January), it can be easy to focus on everything we want to achieve over the next 12 months. This can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed or perhaps we end up creating a huge goal list that in reality is going to be impossible to achieve.

Take 5 minutes (more if you can) tonight to have a think about the prompts I have suggested on each of these slides. This will hopefully feel like a more gentle way to goal set. You can then dive deeper into the prompts when you’re ready.

Take a moment to pause and think about how you want to feel. Our wellbeing should be prioritised too. These five simple prompts are a little invitation to check in with yourself, think about what you need, and make space for your wellbeing in the year ahead.

❤️What can you let go of?
❤️What do you want to do more of?
❤️Is there a fitness or movement goal you’d like to achieve?
❤️Is there a word you could choose as your focus for the year ahead?
❤️How do you want to feel this time next year?

There is absolutely no pressure to have all the answers and big resolutions are definitely not required.

Just a little time to think about you and what you need, what matters to you, and what you’d like more of in your life that’s going to bring you joy.

I say this all the time, but looking after yourself isn’t selfish.

If you have a little more time, you could always spend some time reflecting on the year just past. The highs, the lows, and everything in between.

If you’re not quite ready yet, save this post, take a few quiet minutes with the prompts, and see what comes up for you.

And if you feel comfortable to, I would love to see what you would choose as your word for the year ahead? 😊

The summer holidays are coming to end, but that doesn’t mean the adventures have to stop. There are still plenty of summer daylight hours for micro adventures after school.

I have loved exploring with the kids the last 2 weeks, some new places and some old favourites and I am going to try and keep that going even when they are back at school.

Why? Because everyone is happier when they are outside!

Some of these walks are up on the website but if you’re keen to know exact routes then you can find them on my Strava most of the time (I forgot to save the Kemnay one, and Simon took them to Cambus o’ May) or send me a message and I’ll be more than happy to help.

Happy exploring 🌎
