She wrote in her caption: ‘School holidays are coming to an end in, what feels like, slow motion. It’s been just the three of us, uninterrupted, attached at the hip 24 hours, seven days [a week].
‘So we’re making the most of our last little outings as a trio. My little mate and I are going to miss our big school girl all over again.’
She did admit there were downsides to all that time together, such as: ‘a meltdown over who gets their belt done up first in the car, or who got the most tomato sauce and fluffiest pastry on their homemade sausage rolls or why I won’t play Barbie Girl for the 12,000th time in one trip’.

‘Motherhood is something I took for granted for so long. I mean, some days it was a real inconvenience,’ she told the magazine.
‘But in the past 18 months, it’s literally been everything. It’s why I’m here. It’s why I haven’t checked out.
‘I have days when I want to give up and fall apart and I just want to break; I want to go to sleep and not wake up for a while, for everything to stop, but you can’t.’

She added: ‘It sounds awful but being trapped in motherhood and being trapped in responsibility has saved my life. [My children] are my purpose, and when you have that purpose nothing can drag you away from them.’
