💗Families are sometimes complicated and hard to deal with but in the same time it's so beautiful when you meet and remember the joy and happiness they bring in your life. 💗 🌺It was these ones first trip to London and I am praying for many more 🌺 🌺Ruby was so happy to spend time with grandma and her uncle and auntie and big cousin. She had a blast these few days and mummy got to enjoy a glass of wine 🍷in the sun 🌺 #family #lovelife #toddler #lovelife #instablog #london #lego @sea_life_london @lego #londonbridge #mumlife #londoneye
Have you heard any of these before? ❓ "Wait until the baby comes, that's when it gets hard" ❌ ❓"Wait until they start moving around. That's when it gets hard" ❌ ❓ "Ahhhh.... I love this toddler stage. Wait until they go school. That's when it gets hard" ❌ 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Well, dear Susan, let me tell you something. YOU FORGOT 🤷🏼‍♀️ Motherhood is hard at any stage and comes with frustrations, insecurities and all the baggage. But in the end IT'S ALL WORTH IT ♥️ So when you see a frustrated mum at the till while her toddler screams for a bloody toy .... Keep your mouth shut. Don't tell her it's easy cause she might not be as nice as I was and she might actually punch you in the face 🤷🏼‍♀️ #motherdaughter #motherhood #thisismotherhood #babybutterfliesandcoffee #mumlife #lovelife #empoweringwomen
That's a wrap people. This is how I spent my birthday weekend and like my daughter said: "mummy, this is best birthday ever!" 🎁🎂🎉 FML.... I am now officially 39 and I swear I got no idea when time passed or where it flew 🤔 I can only say that I got the best presents this year and I am so grateful for having an amazing daughter who knows how to make me smile even in my darkest times #mumlife #birthday #blogpost #motherhood #motherdaughter #goodvibes #babybutterfliesandcoffee #lovelife #grateful #instalove
Spring is finally here 💐 and although we are surprised by random showers during the day, I can't help admiring all the green in our park and smile seeing Ruby chasing birds 🐦 and squirrels 🐿️ . . . . . . . 💐 Happy spring everyone 💐 #motherhood #springvibes @cassioburypark #toddlerfun #nature
I recently started thinking about my childhood and I realised that I do not remember the presents I received. 🎁 🌺Of course I remember the toys but not the actual moment I got them. 🌺 💗This made me realise that the most important gifts our children will remember are the exact ones that are free: LOVE, COMPASSION, KNOWLEDGE, RESPONSIBILITY, ENCOURAGEMENT, BEAUTY, GENEROSITY, HONESTY, PRIDE, IMAGINATION and OPTIMISM, and all other amazing feelings that will help your child grow to become an amazing adult, driven to change the world 💗 🌺 Check out my latest blog post 🌺 #motherhood #parenting #momlife #raisingbeautifulhearts #babybutterfliesandcoffee #love #compassion #imagination #optimism #pride #momgoals #blogpost #linkinbio
Do you go to playgroups in your area or have you ever been? 🤔 I signed up for lots after I became a mother but slowly started hating them as I felt so judged. 😑 I got asked why do I use hand sanitiser before and after I change my baby’s nappy; they all looked at me like I was an alien because I dared say I had an amazing birth experience; I was the one who didn’t breastfeed for a million years although we all know that a fed baby is a happy baby; I got told off for using a dummy because my daughter will have speech problems – she was only three months old at the time. I had the odd looks because I walked everywhere and I did not complain of things – I would have if they were more welcoming. 🤷‍♀️ I started resenting them and realised I am better off with just my daughter having some time together out for a coffee, shopping or down at the Lego Store #momcommunity #lifeasamom #motherhood #babybutterfliesandcoffee #londonwithchildren #playgroup #motherdaughter
