Welcome

So I've started another blog. 

Blogging is such a huge passion of mine, and almost like a therapy. Getting thoughts and feelings down on paper, and out of my head, leaving a clear happy mind. I don't even know if any one is interested in reading it, but if you are, welcome! In this blog i will be sharing the journey of raising my beautiful little toddler Nyla. Nyla is 1 years old now, and we followed baby-led weaning style. She is a hilarious, cheeky, clever little diva already. I pretty much follow her lead with things, and encourage her independence. (#sherulesthehouse). 

I am a first time mum, and completely winging this whole motherhood thing. I won't be posting advice, so if i share something you disagree with ... the door is that way. I know we all have different ways of raising our children, methods of parenting, and practices, and that is all ok. What i do, may not work for you, and visa versa. 

I will be sharing things from weaning, meals, activities, as well as open and honest posts on how motherhood is for me and how i am handling it ... or not handling it. 

I hope you find my blog informative and useful. Follow us on instagram (lifeof_nyla). 

Much Love

Candi

To all the mamas before me...

                                                                                 To all the mamas before me, i am sorry.  I will hold my hands up, and admit that i was judgmental. It's easy to do when you have no children of your own. I had no idea.  There were so many things that i thought i would never do. Things i said i would never do. And ways i thought i would parent. And here i am, being a hypocrite.  I can sit now and laugh at how delusional i was. I really had no clue!  So mamas, i apologize for the judgements. Here are the top 5 (out of about 100) things i said i would never allow.  "My Child won't have screen time. " Now laugh along with me. It's easy to imagine that this is a reality, but sometimes you.just.need.a.minute.  Don't get me wro...

Blackpool: Our first holiday

   We just got back from an amazing little family break in blackpool.  In April, we took mini for a birthday trip out to  Chester Zoo . Unfortunately she was suffering from a chest infection, and it was badly raining and so didn't get to enjoy the experience as much as we had hoped.  I had been eager to get her to the zoo again, and this time we chose to visit  Blackpool Zoo .  The tickets cost us £55 for the 3 of us (Nyla was free), including a meal deal each. We found this to be really good value for money. They had cheeseburger, beef burger, chicken burger and pizza meal deals. They also had double options. Unfortunately, what they didn't mention, was the extra charge. It cost 80p to add a slice of cheese to the burger. I paid it, but when i saw the actual size of the slice of cheese i was more than disappointed. The food tasted ok, but it was a bit of a robbery the cost of something so simple added.  The zoo was very clean and there was a lot ...

Another Break

  I have a confession .... i really did forget about this blog.  2 year olds really do take over your whole life. I haven't had a minute to myself, and so i forgot all about this blog.  I am back now however, now that she has started to play independently again and wants to spend time in her room away from me, mama gets a chance to breathe.  So what have you missed? Probably a lot. I can't believe i haven't posted since February!  Rather than ramble here i will be doing some life update posts including where she is at with her own bedroom, some learning activities we have been doing, and some of the fantastic days out that we have had since my last post. Mini turned 2 and we also had to say goodbye to our pet cat Skittle. It has been a rollercoaster!  I really will be trying to get more content on here, but in case you missed me i have still be as present as ever on our instagram (lifeof_nyla).  xx
