Life seems to have returned to it's crazed state when I was at work full time! My decision is final and I will not be returning to the corporate world (for now). Instead, I will spend it on other things which matter just as much- my family, myself and so many other things I've always wanted to do, but never had the time. For now, wrapping up at work is taking a lot of time and it makes me realise why I embarked on the sabbatical in the first place (o0).
Whilst I miss the interactions and daily challenges of my job, I have compiled a list of things/ moments I will gain by taking this huge step, (things which are generally taken for granted)
- My health
- My relationship with hubby
- The random moments spent with my boys i.e.
- A chess game (or any game) here and there
- Watching a movie together during the day (where I am present and not checking emails or taking calls)
- Having lunch together after school and chatting about the school day
- Our extended families
- Being able to attend school events I previously missed
- Having the time to bake an actual cake for birthdays instead of popping to the bakery after work
- The ability to go to gym regularly
- When asked for a special lunchbox meal, it's not a big deal to spend the extra time making it.
I will definitely miss the corporate wear, my stilettos and daily make up routine. But these I can happily shelf until another time. For now, I spend my time in jeans, maxi dresses, skirts and wedges and pumps!
My non-corporate look below features an Asos maxi dress, with a denim shirt worn over it and belted.
I am wearing:
Ralph Lauren maxi (Asos)
Denim shirt by Legend
Belt old
Levi's Wedges
Bracelets: SassDiva, Honey and gifted silver bracelet
Ring: Shimanksy Millenium collection

Ciao for now,
