I went back to work the other week after almost a year of maternity leave and I have to say that, so far, I am really enjoying it.

To give you an idea, I decided to keep a little diary of how I felt prior to going back in comparison to how I am feeling a few weeks in to highlight just what a rollercoaster of emotion this whole process has been. Perhaps you might resonate with a few of these too?
