Hi everyone, this morning I came across a post on another blog site about a mother’s Monday morning and it inspired me to ask co-owner of Isabella Oliver and mother of 3, Baukjen, how her morning went. Here’s what she had to report...

2.30am - I had difficulty sleeping - Pippa has an earache and slept in our bed snoring away.
3.00am - Pippa is convinced its playtime. It takes me 30 minutes to convince her otherwise.
6.00am - My boys are in full play mode, I creep out of bed and tell them it’s too early and they should try to get some more sleep.
6.30am - I'm up, run downstairs to lay the table, run back up to dress the boys, run down to feed them.
7.00am - Pippa finally wakes up and needs to be dressed and given breakfast. Then I practice reading with the eldest who now gets homework.
8.00am – Our nanny arrives and together we brush the kids teeth, get fruit for school, put shoes and coats on and then they are off.
8.20am - Run upstairs for a quick shower. I'm late for work and Geoff is pacing around downstairs. In 10 minutes I'm showered and dressed, no time for make up (promise I will do it when I arrive at work, haven't though).
8.35am - Pack my bags with tear sheets I want to show Vanessa, work I took home over the weekend and various forms for the kids' schools and nurseries.
8.50am - Off to work where we head straight in to a meeting. The beginning of the work day.
