We love to read in this house 📚

Most of the time holding a book with our hands and sometimes feet do a decent job too 😅🦶🏼

Eliana loves her books! 🥰
Her favourite book at the moment is Poppy & Sam’s - Animal Sounds followed by That’s Not My... series.
Books are amazing, and I’m so glad we are raising a reader ☺️

Happy #worldbookday 📚
What’s your favourite book?

PLAN 📝

Day 2️⃣8️⃣ aka last day of February & #FebWithMielAndMint ✌🏼
Prompt - Plan 📝

Even though no human could possibly predict or plan for the world pandemic, we persevere 🙏🏼

Maybe some of your plans got rained on or completely ruined in 2020 or at the start of 2021 (mine did). But, ultimately, it’s important to keep a bigger picture in mind and keep powering through.

It might be hard to make plans right now. Maybe even disheartening because “what if...”, and that’s understandable.
At the same time, I’m feeling positive about March and spring time!
I’m thankful there’s a vaccine available.
I’m thankful the infection rate is going down.
I’m thankful for the sunshine which we all needed so much! ☀️

What are some of your March plans and/or goals?

Some of mine involve:
🙏🏼 strengthening my faith & my walk with Jesus
👶🏼 booking baby classes for April/May
🧹 spring cleaning
💪🏼 exercising regularly
💡 working on my venture, one nap at a time
and last, but not least,
✈️ dreaming up & planning future travels.

Can’t wait to be back to one of our favourite destinations as a family of 3 🥰

LOOKING BACK 🥰 I’m totally skipping a number

LOOKING BACK 🥰

I’m totally skipping a number of days of #FebWithMielAndMint (because offline life takes over sometimes, and it’s perfectly fine) but I just couldn’t skip sharing this post 😊📸

My journey of being a mama has been ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.
It started all the way back in December 2019 & those early days of 2020 when I saw that “+” sign 😍

I was a mum (in the making) for 39 weeks & 2 days before I got to meet my perfect baby girl 👶🏼
25 weeks ago, when Eliana was born, I was also born as her mama 🥰

Motherhood is everything they tell you about and more. It’s magical and challenging, exciting and complex, rewarding and messy.
But it is 100% BEAUTIFUL, and the love that you have for your baby is IMMEASURABLE ♥️

Vulnerable and strong. Probably not the most obvio

Vulnerable and strong.
Probably not the most obvious combination of words in one sentence.
But they go hand in hand.
Strength comes from vulnerability.
Trust comes from vulnerability.
Closeness comes from vulnerability.

I couldn’t possibly word it better than amazing @brenebrown herself but I will share some of my thoughts on vulnerability:

- it encourages honesty:
when you show vulnerability, other people feel the courage to open up too

- it builds confidence:
every time you don’t shy away from being vulnerable, you display immense strength and, as a result, you get support from “your people” who raise you up

- it nurtures relationships:
if you’re raw and open, you invite people in and strengthen the bond through honesty and communication (if someone judges you, gossips about you or thinks you are weak, they themselves most likely struggle with a lot of insecurities).

I will be vulnerable and share with you that last night’s announcement about the U.K.‘s roadmap of coming out of lockdown made me both excited & anxious.

Excited about being out and about more, about being able to show my baby so many things & do all the activities we wanted to do, see more faces and catch up with friends.

Anxious because I don’t know/can’t plan when I’m going to be able to see my parents who have never seen me pregnant or met my baby daughter f2f. It’s not easy.

BUT you know what’s been wonderful - having my husband work from home and see me & Eliana as much as he wanted/could during the day. It could never have been possible under “normal” circumstances so this is something I will always treasure.
Quality family time has been immense to have.

So yes.
Better days ARE coming 🙏🏼

Day 1️⃣6️⃣ of #FebWithMielAndMint
Prompt: Vulnerable ♥️

💬 Share something personal / vulnerable with me in the comments (if you’d like).

Catching up 🥳 Finally, right? Breaks from Insta

Catching up 🥳
Finally, right?
Breaks from Instagram are essential if you’re not running a personal account.
I needed to go offline and focus on other things + re-charge 🔋

2 posts a day (AM & PM) are coming up!

Let’s go back in time a bit.
So here’s DAY 1️⃣5️⃣ of #FebWithMielAndMint
Prompt: ‘TWO OR THREE’

I will share both numbers ☺️

I was thinking for some time about this one but this one photo kept coming to my mind 🥰
These TWO ♥️
Just chilling, watching ‘Hook’ if I remember correctly ☺️🧚🏼
My whole world in one little pic.

I’m very close with my parents and, no matter what age I am or will be, I’m a daddy’s girl.
So it makes me very happy knowing what a great dad & a role model my baby girl has!
Their bond is unbreakable ♥️
