‘I CAN’T WAIT FOR DATE NIGHTS WITH DAN AGAIN – WE DON’T WASTE THEM’
MORNING 7AM: Ella, my five year old, walks in and wakes up me and my husband Dan [Osborne, who Jacqueline married in 2017] by asking me if it’s the morning yet. I usually say no, but then I look at my phone and realise it is time to get up. We’ll go straight downstairs and have breakfast. We usually have toast, cereal or, if I have time, scrambled eggs.
8AM: Once I’ve got Ella and 21-month-old Mia dressed, I’ll put on some loungewear. I wear it 24/7 – I love it.
10.30AM: Before we were home-schooling, I’d do the school run and visit my performing arts academy. Until we went into self-isolation,
I’d try to go about two or three times a week. Sometimes I’d join in one of the adult fitness classes. I really like dance classes – they’re so much fun. I don’t love the gym, though!
AFTERNOON 12PM: Back when I was running around, my handbag was filled with all my essentials, like my beloved Carmex lip balm and my tissues, plus wipes for the kids. When the weather gets warmer, and life gets back to normal, I’m all about comfort and I love having dresses that I can wear for both day and night. There’s a long wrap dress from my In The Style collection that I will wear with trainers.
1PM: For lunch, I love to have something that fills me up. I’ll have chicken and chips as a treat as that’s one of my favourite meals.
3PM: Once we can go out again, I’ll take the girls to the cinema. They get so excited – it’s really sweet. We’ve switched it up for home movie nights at the moment.
EVENING 5PM: Dinner will be something like chicken pasta with cheese, or spaghetti Bolognese, which is the kids’ favourite, and then it will be a chilled play time followed by a mad half hour.
7PM: After the girls have had their bath and I’ve put them to bed, I’ll have my bath, which is my favourite part of the day. I can easily spend 40 minutes in there, relaxing with some candles.
9PM: Me and Dan will then spend the evening watching Netflix or a good TV series. We love
Good Girls at the moment, it’s really funny! On the rare occasion me and Dan have a date night, we love Hakassan or STK – I’m a foodie. I’ll wear a dress and heels or some jeans and a nice top. I can’t wait for date nights with Dan when everything is open again – we don’t waste nights away from the kids!
10PM: When it’s time for bed I’ll put on some matching PJs – me and the kids have a Disney set! I always put some Clarins facial oil on too, so
I wake up hydrated and radiant.
