⛱️ This toddler had an amazing time in Valencia. She enjoyed the sand and sea 🌊🏖️ all day long. . 😍 It was almost impossible to take her out the water. Lucky we had our @nivea_uk cream sun protection with factor 50 to help keep her skin protected . 😍 We did so many things together from walking around central Valencia to the Zoo, Aquarium, National History Museum and just building sand castles until late in the evening . 😍 We didn't have a stroller with us but I can tell you that she didn't need it much. I think it's time to ditch it and upgrade to a bicycle 🚲 soon . 😍 Any #recommendations regarding a good bicycle for a three year old? 🚲 Also, at a good price 🙊 . 😍 #travellingwithatoddler #holidaytime #motherdaughter #babybutterfliesandcoffee #love #valencia #beach #sand #goodvibes #motherhood
🙄 I know, isn't it? I mean who the hell is that crazy person there ruining my picture? . It's ME only without the make up and the nice clothes and pose. It's just me at the end of the day, me with my unwashed hair, annoyingly ugly top and a "give me some alcohol" face. . I mean, I scrub up nicely but we have to admit that most of the time I got no make up, I got pigmentation issues after giving birth, my eyebrows are shapeless at the moment and my hair is a bit damaged from all the colouring along the way. . But inside I am just the same regardless of how I look and my heart is opened, and I am full of insecurities and sometimes anxiety kicks my a** so badly I surprised I can still pick myself up . I think we just have to learn to love ourselves and accept who we are, makeup or no makeup, learn to be comfortable with ourselves and stop chasing shadows. There is no perfection, Instagram is just a social media platform and not a standard to look for, comparing yourself with influencers who only post pretty pictures and show you their spotless homes and children who never get dirty and are well behaved at all times . #reality #acceptance #beyourself #loveyourself #babybutterfliesandcoffee #thisiswhoiam #instablog #instalife
💟🙏 Today I want to talk about being grateful and second chances. . 💛 . This time last year I was given a second chance in life. I went through such a terrible and painful experience that almost cost me my life . 💛 Physically I recovered quick and started eating healthier and exercising regularly but mentally I still struggle with loss, pain and anxiety . 💛 Every day I try to move on and be grateful for what I have now for I am rich after all. I have a wonderful daughter who is my world, I have a beautiful home and someone who loves me unconditionally, we are healthy and we don't struggle . 💛 I also learned that life is not like in the movies 🎬 and we can't skip the bad parts and fast forward to the happy times. It takes a storm ⛈️ and lots of rain for a rainbow 🌈to come out . 💛 Don't judge people for you don't know their journey and struggles. Be kind and generous. Be supportive and show compassion . 💛 #momlife #realtalk #loss #begrateful #everyonehasastory #anxiety #depression #endthestigma #unitedinmotherhood #babybutterfliesandcoffee #motherhood #showkindness #compassion
Busy weekend for this mama and her little munchkin here . 💛 The crazy sun 🌞 took us out the house on Saturday to the paddling pools in @cassioburypark where Ruby enjoyed few good hours of splashing and dancing around while I tried to apply as much sun cream as I could . 💛 We came home knackered and to my satisfaction she fell asleep straight away and I cod just out my feet up, get a glass of wine 🍷and binge watch on Luther . 💛 We woke up early this morning and after my well deserved coffee 😁☕ and a breakfast for the monkey, we went in the park again but this time we headed on the other side to The Cha Cafe and their wonderful playground. . 💛 Of course I grabbed my coffee and sat on a bench smiling at my little girl while she ran around barefoot in the sand . 💛 UK please keep this summer longer . 💛 #motherhood #toddler #toddlerfun #paddlingpools #sand #sun #summerfun #motherdaughter @zara
🌞 is shinning over the 🌈 in @cassioburypark . 🌼 Summer is finally taking over UK and we can venture outside in the park for the day forgetting to come back inside until bath time . 🌼 Today we spent such a wonderful time outdoors with the scooter and barefoot in the sand making new friends . 🌼 Mummy got to enjoy her coffee ☕ in the sun 🌞 while Ruby was feeding her dog friend, giving me few minutes to actually smile and enjoy her innocence and outgoing personality . 🌼 What did you do this lovely weekend? 🌼 Let there be summer 🌼 # funtimes #motherdaughter #babybutterfliesandcoffee #toddler #summertime #summerinuk #watford #raisingbeautifulhearts
Are you ready to get rid of nappies? Have you had enough of wiping your toddler’s bum and smelling every fart?💨🙊🤷🏼‍♀️ GOOD. I was sick of it as well. I dreamed of the day my child will be potty trained and seen myself running on a field of daisies, smiling at the sun.🏃‍♀️🌼🌼🌼⛅ . 💙 Well, THAT WAS ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS AND TEN FAILED ATTEMPTS AGO. . 💙 Buy pull ups, potty and a matching toilet seat, about a thousand fun pairs of underwear and you know what 🤷🏼‍♀️ it's all useless . 💙 Tried the live her without nappies on, tried the bribe with toys and sweets and tablet time 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ and was all in vain . . 💙 Finally last week I told her she has no nappies left and I am not buying anymore. First day was all about cleaning my sofa and carpet that were soaked in wee 🤦🏼‍♀️ Second day she woke up and said "no more accident mummy" and three days later we done a massive number two 🎊🎉🎊🎉 . . 💙 I felt like a failure, I cried and I stressed so much but I did learn that allowing her to make this choice and not pushing it was the best way. It happens when you calm down and your child is ready . 💙 #pottytrainingtips #pottytraining #pottytrainingsucks #momlife #howtopottytrain #motherhood #parentingtips
