The ciaos in the morning with nursery runs and college is constantly a rush. My best advice is to prepare everything the night before getting everyone’s clothes all ready for the next morning it stops the panic in the morning.

My mornings when my classes are online feels so much easier at times as my son starts nursery an hour after my class starts. So, I try to get Zak ready before my class starts then during my class I drop Zak off at nursery either in a taxi or on the bus. I then come back and finish my class work off. During the day I get housework done and shopping if I get the spare time to but I don’t always get enough time every day to get everything done as I have class work to do as well.

Summer starts 2021, I couldn’t believe I actually achieved my level 5 events. I felt as if I couldn’t be anymore prouder and now I know I finally have made my gran proud. All I done the full summer was go on family days out and made the most of the time off college. We started off summer by going to local parks, trips to Baloch, M&Ds and enjoying the sun making the most of it.

Life in lockdown where do I begin. What a stressful first few months it was ciaos the cues for shops. Everyone growling at you if you as much as coughed beside them. It was nothing I ever experienced before in my whole entire life. Me and Zak spent most of lockdown just baking cakes or having movie days he was 2-year-old at this point so I had no clue what to do with him as he was always bored! So, summer came and Zak finally got his placement at nursery ready I was ready more than ever to go back to college and stick to it for the sake of it’s the best thing for us and knowing this is what my gran really wants me to do I put the head down and started Level 5 Events.

Our life consisted of going to the nursery back to do zoom calls for college then doing nursery runs and staying in the rest of the night for dinners and baths for the next day but we got ourselves into a good routine and we eventually made it work.

During of the summer 2019 I officially moved into my new home. It felt amazing to call somewhere home for me and Zak. Our first few nights were spent unpacking and organising everything ready for me going back to college again I was finally starting to feel as if things were going into place.

College started and the first month or two felt as if it was running smoothly but due to stress and my mental health I had to take time off college again. I tried my hardest but being a single parent and doing everything on my own It again wasn’t my right time for college so I put my college on hold until I felt as if my mental health was in a better place.

August 2018 I finally started my dream course at college but I was also going through a lot of things in my family such as my gran starting her first chemo at the start of August but I tried my hardest anyways to try college the best I possibility could.

In this post I will be talking about what life was like when I was going through a lot and still tried every day for me and my son’s future no matter what we went through.

Hi there my names Mandy Campbell I am a 20-year-old student with a 3-year-old nearly 4-year-old called Zak. In my future posts I will be discussing my day to day life of having a toddler with the happy moments, the tantrums and the true struggles of trying to do what’s best for your family.

As many know it can be very challenging trying to juggle house work, a toddler, work/college and everything else life throughs at you on the way. I found out I was pregnant at 15-year-old days after I fell out with my son’s dad so I ended up a young single mum. Being a mum at 16 with a new born wasn’t easy and my plans to go back to school didn’t exactly go into plan due to feeling as if everyone would be looking at me and speaking about me for having a baby so young so with that in mind I decided to take January to August off to enjoy my sons first 6 month to spend the most time as I could with him watching him learn new stuff.
