Taking to her Instagram Story, Stacey reflected on her motherhood journey so far, revealing she is “trying not to be hard on herself” following Joe leaving home for work.
In the clip, Stacey looked effortlessly chic with her long blonde locks tied up into a messy bun, while filming her family around her.
“Joe’s away working for a few days so I tried to get myself out of the house,” Stacey captioned the video posted on Thursday (March 2).
“I did the school run and then me and the girls went for a walk around the shops.”
She then added: “Belle and our new life with a newborn is only 3.5 weeks in so I’m trying not to be too hard on myself for not making it out past the school run most days. But it was lovely to get out for a few hours and just walk around and see/speak to people.”
The Sort Your Life Out star later shared another sweet snap of her posing alongside her kids in the bedroom, while recalling the evening’s events for her 5.6million followers.
“Didn’t get chance to wash myself but I put on my new PJs on so I feel cleanish,” Stacey quipped in the caption.
Stacey welcomed her first son, 14-year-old Zachary, when she was 17 with her childhood sweetheart Dean Cox.
Then four years later, she welcomed 10-year-old Leighton with her ex-fiancé Aaron Barnham.
After meeting beau Joe Swash, the two then went on to welcome their first child, Rex Toby Francis Swash, in May 2019.
While in 2021, Stacey and Joey welcomed baby number two who they decided to name Rose Opal Esmè Solomon-Swash.
Fast forward to February 2023, and Stacey gave birth to Belle.
