Let's learn about a typical day in Simble's life:

5.45AM: The alarm goes off and I wake up fairly early at 5.45 AM. I wakes my children at 6 AM, get them ready for school and drive myself to work after that.

4.45 PM: I reach home after work, take a shower and feed my 10 month old baby. Once my kids are back from the playground, I spend time with them.

6.30 PM: I help my kids with their homework and studies and prepare them for the next day.

7.30 PM: Have a family prayer with my husband and kids. We sit as a family for dinner, chat about our day and discuss things that made us feel happy and sad.

8.30PM: Watch my favourite TV show. Work on my write ups (not always) and chit chat with my husband. After that I phone my family back in India and UK.

10 PM: I tuck the kids into bed, reciting a small prayer, drawing a cross on their forehead. By 10.30pm I close everything and goes to sleep.
