Spa night

An idea born out of boredom in lockdown, every now and again the boys and I have a “spa night” after their bath. This involves putting on some calming music, laying towels down on some pillows on the floor, and taking it in turns to give massages. No matter how wild their day has been, offering a firm massage with some nice scented oils calms everything right down again. My boys also adore to have their nails painted! During term-time we stick to just the toenails, so they are secretly fun and colourful inside their shoes. It’s become a lovely self-care habit, and a wonderful way to round off the day.
