I try to go to bed at 10pm but it often gets a little later than that as I'm distracted by my gorgeous family in the evenings. I always spend time with my girls and have recently started reading a book to my younger daughter again - and I love that - it calms me down, and feel so lucky to have them in my life.
what is another name for a Toddler Lunch Ideas For Daycare (No Reheat)
Some fun ideas for school lunches are: cut a sandwich (if included in the lunch) into a cool shape, package the lunch in a cool lunch pale (instead of boring brown bag), base the items in the meal around a theme, package items that require assembly before eating (like lunchables or Pizza bagels).
A good challenge inspires and motivates me. Knowing that I am experiencing as many stimulating things as possible, be that sport, work or - most importantly - raising a family really well, is what gets me going.
Anyone with bars, restaurants, or nightclubs never truly switches off - especially as it is during the nights and weekends when the venues are kicking off. So of course we are always on call. That said, we don't plan anything on the weekends - it is family time.
I mix up my workout regime. Today, it was a 10k loop running, other days a mix of personal training, cycling and Pilates reformer. Then I cycle to my commuter station, jump on the train to Victoria and cycle to Soho from there.
Gaby, 42, is Head of Strategy at M&C Saatchi, where her strategic insights for Nivea, Unilever, RBS, TFL and Motorola have been recognised with numerous industry awards. She lives in Wandsworth, London.
I leave the house at 7.30 and take the train to London. I have the HeadSpace app on my phone and do a 15-minute meditation on the train. I think the point of mediation is to just stop for a moment and clear your mind, wherever you are, and it works for me. I'll sometimes get a few funny looks from fellow commuters though!
That said, I do believe that we can create our own happiness and if we can focus on what we believe in, and be less worried about what others will think of us or expect of us, then we can create the life we want to have.
The girls make their own breakfast now and their own packed lunches which is lovely to see, and one less thing for me to do in the mornings now - packed lunches was the one thing I just could not get round to liking.
I wake up by 7am and in the early hours, I like to scan the news and emails whilst still in bed just to get ahead of the day and see where the land lies. I will also check my calendar to see if there are any important meetings that I need to prepare for

If I feel stressed or overwhelmed, my one alternative indulgence is to have an acupuncture session once a month. It totally grounds me and makes me feel a bit more like a normal person when things are really stressful.
My day starts by dropping our eldest at nursery, the morning in the office, taking the toddler lunch ideas 1 year old to a music playgroup or the playground, onto one of our sites (Top Dog, Bumpkin, Eclipse, or Boujis), back to the office, and then the kids to a swimming class or to the park, so my clothes need to work for the playground to the boardroom.
Do I think women can have it all? Well, 'all' is a subjective word, but I definitely think that if you can think it, you can do it. If you want to be on it at work and still a dedicated wife, mother etc, then nothing is impossible.
As I sink into bed, I literally fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, but before I drift off to sleep, I always take a minute to appreciate how lucky I am to do what I do, and I feel so grateful for everything we have. I think being grateful for what we have is so important and much better than focusing on what we don't have, positive everything works in our family and it works well.
The women we work with have survived some of the most unspeakable atrocities, but are still found smiling, and they still have hope. They are strong and resilient, and they inspire me every day. That is why I get up with a smile and I go to bed with the a smile and that is also why Women for Women International has just launched the #SheInspiresMe campaign because I believe we should all feel inspired.
Once the day is over, it is all about getting home and cooking with my husband. We will always try to eat at home together as many nights as possible in the week, as it's our down time to catch up. It's normally pretty healthy - grilled fish, a huge salad and some nice grains like quinoa or buckwheat; I love a superfood.
