you'd think the 30 day discipline challenge would've been enough to keep mummy busy for the next few weeks - but what can I say? she's a sucker for punishment! now that she's primarily at home she seemed to be wistfully looking back at pix of herself back when she was working in an office and longing to get back into a pair of heels and dress up. thank heavens she snapped out of it & decided to embrace the season of life she's in!after all, she has school runs to look good for - i do not need her dragging my rep down! she spied a 10x10 challenge on one of her favourite blogs - Style Bee - and decided to do it! Below are the 10 items she picked for this challenge. she went for items she already loves wearing and that should work well together, giving a polished but authentic school run look. well..that's the aim anyway!

1. Toffee Blazer available here 2. Black Knitted Top similar here, here and here; maternity option here 3. Denim Shirt similar here , here and maternity option here 4. Basic White Tee similar here, maternity options here and here 5. Breton Stripe Top similar here, here and maternity options here, here and here 6.

she's busy narrowing down her winter wardrobe wishlist after realising she was working with her budget, not the Duchess of Cambridge's. this has served as a really great starting point for her, helping her to highlight the gaps she has in her day to day closet. i don't know about you, but I am tired of hearing her "I have nothing to wear" dramas whilst i stare into a closet full of "stuff"! over the next few days i'll be sharing with you the looks she managed to create from her capsule closet of 10 items!

(mummy says sorry the image is a bit rubbish - she spent ages pulling a collage together on photoshop only for it to be auto-resized by this blog template!! Arrgh!! don't worry mummy, i'll be sure to post individual items as i post each outfit!)

...and mummy's just about standing!

The 5am thing....

she started the week with so much zap and determination that by the end of monday we were oh so inspired to join in! Judah was up at 4am ready to face the day - weren't you judah? (he's nodding). mummy didn't seem too happy though - she made him go back to sleep and by 4:35 all of us were in her bed. She struggled to get up at 5. i joined in and by the end of the week had trained myself to be up consistently by 6am ready to eat breakfast. this discipline thing is great! we don't get why mummy isn't happy - we are up at least 45 minutes earlier than we need to, giving her more time to attend to our needs. i'd call that ingratitude personally. wouldn't you Judah? (he's nodding!)

About the gym...

so...mummy set a 30 day shopping fast. that was before she fully registered she had no single item of gym gear. swimming was the only option but she says aunt ruby has come to visit. we don't get it. there are no visitors in the house. she said aunt ruby can only be seen by bigger girls and ladies. so she's a ghost then? Oh we don't much care, mummy is making excuses! come monday, we expect to see better form. get on with it woman, it's a challenge, not a holiday camp for losers!

the cold shower...

judging by the scream we hear at the end of each wash session in the morning, she's actually doing it! she's a sucker for punishment that one!

the business & the blog...

well, in this area mummy sure has a whole new lease of life doesn't she Judah? (He's nodding). She carries her notebooks around like newborn babies and is constantly writing ideas down. She's so happy & full of the joys of spring. She sits at her desk at the designated time and works away, determined to meet the days targets.

hardest thing this week

sticking to the skincare routine when all she wants to do is go to bed already.

best thing this week

finding that her body clock has already adjusted to the 5am wake up call!

mega mighlight of the week

being featured on Peacocks website alongside some seriously stylish mummies! she was gobsmacked & humbled and deliriously happy! you can check it out here.

mummy even took a screenshot....bless!

next week's major focus

getting some exercise in. whether this aunt ruby is still here or gone back wherever she came from.

there are 15 things in total that mummy has set as daily focus areas throughout the 30 days based on this 30 day discipline challenge. she's really enjoying it & says it's given her some focus & a new lease of life...along with sleep deprivation. (but that's because you don't go to bed on time mummy. Just sayin'.)

i'm off to google the mysterious aunt ruby. are you coming judah? (he's nodding.) ok - we're off!

ciao!

morayo-hope & judah
