Some of my faves from Raphael's passport photo shoot. It's SO much easier to apply for a British Passport from overseas now than it was before brexit!! Finally a positive! Ha! Very soon he will have dual nationality. It's week 3 of nursery this week and he was off two days last week with a cough, si he needed a doctors note to go in this week! He has taken to it like a duck to water and I'm so proud of him. Motherhood changes you so so much. I wasn't maternal. Not even sure i wanted kids. Now l. This boy is my absolute world. Everything revolves around him! My heart just explodes when I look at him!! #mumblogger #mumtoson #boymum #lovemyboy #mummy #dualnationality #cyprusmum #mumabroad #mumblog (at My Heart♥) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUWyivoMePF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another day....Another playground.... Another work session.... I get so much done sitting here chilling In the sun while Raphael plays! Our favourite place. Great prices. Food. Meeting new people. TOP MUMMIES TIP - Wear a bright colour on your child at the playground; it makes them so much easier to find! I put grey in him the last time and struggled all day to find him!! My little teenage mutant ninja turtle today was so easy. #mummoments #mumactivities #mumblogger #mumlife #mumtoson #mumcareer #mumpreneur #mumsofinstagram #mumsthatwork (at Wembley Sports Center - Paphos) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQL3EjIFUxt/?utm_medium=tumblr

Being a mum is the best job in the world right?? What bugs me is the judging. Often us mothers are so quick to judge other mothers that do things differently. We also don't speak freely about things that we do or don't do as mothers, we keep it a secret, to ourselves as we are afraid of being judged!! I got thinking about this after seeing a post im a mummies group last night. The mummy was asking if it's OK to nap when the kids are playing. I have never heard anyone talk about this and If I have it had been in a negative way. After someone dared to say she does it, there was an AVALANCHE women who answered that they do it too! Almost EVERY woman said they did it in the morning for a while after giving them breakfast and cartoons, or toys to play with, or in bed with them or on the sofa near them. Guess what?!?! I do it too!! The general consensus was that it depends on the child and the age too as some women said they had one child that they could nap but the second one was now very mischievous and up to all kinds l! To summarise... WE KNOW OUR CHILDREN BEST! WE KNOW WHAT WORKS FOR US AS A FAMILY BEST! WE NEED TO STOP JUDGING OTHER MUMS FOR DOING IT DIFFERENTLY! We're ALL doing what's best for OUR kids, ourselves and our fault dynamic!!
