I had to force this little girlie to nap this afternoon, I needed to recharge so badly. I literally felt drained. And this is how happy she woke up! 😍 • • • • #mumblogger #pbloggers #joyfulmamas #dailyparenting #instamum #matkapolka #normalizebreastfeeding #polishmum #bloggeruk #littleangel #parenthood_moments #babyblog #luckymama #documentyourdays #mumlife #dailyparenting #instamatki #clickinmoms #momswithcameras #8monthsold

We had another busy day with our local Mumsies and their gorgeous babe’s. Theia has definitely got her eye on the little boy in our group who’s only a few days younger than her, although he did grab her hair a couple of times, she still gave him the eye 😉 nursery is sorted! Theia is booked in for a settling in session on Monday, which I don’t even think she needs, she is so chilled and loves to play. What does make me nervous, is that I know from my mum, how easily babies get ill from nursery, obviously that’s unavoidable being around other little ones! I’m just starting my job and have no idea how lenient they will be with sick days and really, I want to make the best impression. See, I’m a sucker for stressing out about something that hasn’t even happened. Me down to a T. I guess only time will tell, hopefully all this broccoli we’ve been munching on will give Theia a better immune system! If you have any tips on how to protect your little ones from colds as much as possible, let me know! • • • • #mumblogger #pbloggers #joyfulmamas #dailyparenting #instamum #matkapolka #normalizebreastfeeding #polishmum #bloggeruk #littleangel #parenthood_moments #babyblog #luckymama #documentyourdays #mumlife #dailyparenting #instamatki #clickinmoms #momswithcameras #backtowork #momswhowork (at Portsmouth)

Theia looked so adorable today, ready for her aunties party and I literally took close to zero photos because she was totally moody 🤦🏻‍♀️ when everybody came up to us, to say how incredibly happy and good she is, I kept repeating that actually she’s having a bad day, so they just looked at me like I’m a mad woman 😂 maybe, or most definitely, I am more lucky than I realise ❤️ #mumblogger #pbloggers #joyfulmamas #dailyparenting #instamum #matkapolka #normalizebreastfeeding #polishmum #bloggeruk #littleangel #parenthood_moments #babyblog #luckymama #documentyourdays #mumlife #dailyparenting #instamatki #clickinmoms #momswithcameras #8monthsold

We have had such a lovely day. Everything I needed since I transitioned from Wiks to Mumma Wiki. Today, I was an adult and a mum at the same time. A few months back, I met a lovely mum around my age, super friendly, chilled and just my cup of tea. This was a huge deal, as she became my first mumma friend & first Portsmouth friend. I was so closed up prior to meeting her, went through all sorts of stages of postnatal depression and one of them was feeling like don’t need anything or anyone. Soon, I became quite lonely and isolated. I have incredible best friends, but they’re not mums. We can’t talk nappies, sleep deprivation or baby puke, although we can talk about pretty much anything else. Blogging and posting on my Instagram became a nutcracker for me, as it cracked through my hard shell and I slowly started reaching out to humanity... I needed mums, more than I imagined I would. My lovely new friend and I, met up at a baby weigh in (8.15kg!!!) and some of her mum friends joined us. Then we went round her house for coffee, cake and gossip. All of them were lovely, bright, different but we were in a way all connected, due to motherhood. I had a blast. Theia had even more fun as she mingled with the babies. I can now say, that I am a content and a confident mum. I recommend it to all of you mamas, who struggle with loneliness. Put your foot in the door and get yourself out there! • • • • #mumblogger #pbloggers #joyfulmamas #dailyparenting #instamum #matkapolka #fedisbest #polishmum #bloggeruk #littleangel #parenthood_moments #babyblog #luckymama #documentyourdays #mumlife #dailyparenting #instamatki #clickinmoms #momswithcameras #babyfriends #momfriends #friendship (at Portsmouth)

So yesterday, as some of you may have seen, I’ve been bakin’ & cakin’ all day! I set myself a challenge to make Timmy a birthday cake of his choice and here it is! My actual first birthday bake! It’s a fudge cake, with vanilla mascarpone and a layer of salted caramel, with chocolate and caramel buttercream and loads more chocolate on top 😂 should come with a health warning! I am so happy with myself, I guess some skills never go away, but mature over time! When I worked in a restaurant, I dreaded a customer ordering a birthday cake, I avoided it at all cost! However, doing it out of the comfort of my home has been super relaxing and fun! Just wish I had a kitchen porter here, to tidy up all the mess! Pete, where are you?! 😭 if I was to change anything, I would make the writing smaller, unfortunately rookie error, made the hole too big and started writing before I checked. And less filling as one side is poking out a tad! But I’m happy with my first go! Can’t wait to eat this beauty! • • • • • • #mumblogger #pbloggers #joyfulmamas #dailyparenting #instamum #matkapolka #normalizebreastfeeding #polishmum #bloggeruk #littleangel #parenthood_moments #babyblog #luckymama #documentyourdays #mumlife #dailyparenting #instamatki #clickinmoms #momswithcameras #baking #birthdaycake #instabake #chocolatefudge (at Portsmouth)

Motherhood is one hell of a crazy ride. You think one thing before you have a baby, during pregnancy you plan all the things you will and won’t do, then boom - baby springs upon you and everything changes. I wanted to do BLW so bad, but my fears of my baby choking have limited me, which at the same time, limited my baby. We did puree’s which Theia loved and at the end of the day, there is nothing wrong with that. She was still trying new flavours. However, first I was inspired by @baby_felicity_and_i and her amazing BLW, all the colourful, chunky foods she gave her beautiful babe and I felt a little green. On Sunday, we had a family lunch and I watched Theia’s year old cousin scoff up roast dinner. Yorkie in one hand, roastie in the other. She looked so content and confident. I want the same for my baby. We came home and I boiled broccoli, cauliflower, fine beans and carrot. Offered it to Theodora and the fun began! She loved grabbing it, playing with it, she was excited, engaged and she actually did have a fair bit, although a lot of it ended up on the floor and on her clothes! When she’d lose a bit of food she enjoyed, she would grunt for it, which is a big sign of her loving whatever she’s eating! I was amazed at how easy it was. Yeah, she gagged, of course she did, but it was a relief to see how well she dealt with it. At that point, I decided, and this goes a long way, not just with BLW, that my fears cannot ever limit my baby or stop her from doing something she either loves or will be beneficial to her. After the veggie mess, I offered her a banana, where I peeled a bit of the skin off and let her suck on it. She did brilliantly! I did have to chuck her in the bath afterwards 🤣 but overall, it was an incredible experience for both me and the baby. It taught me a valuable lesson and I am thankful for that.
