My very first post: A reason to blog

amomentwithfranca · · 7 Comments

Hola chicos, I'm very excited to finally start blogging. This has been an idea of mine for a long time but I never had the time or even maybe the courage to do it. I always thought that it was very cool to read all the blogs of parents documenting every special moment of their … [Read more...] about My very first post: A reason to blog

✨HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME✨🥳⁣
⁣
I was wondering how a lockdown birthday will be this year for me and so far, it has been great! Last night, I had a lovely Zoom party with my school friends from Peru and one from Mexico. We met at 11:30 pm and waited until midnight to sing happy birthday! 🥳It was awesome! 🙌🏻⁣
⁣
I haven’t done something like this before, just a video call with one person but not with more people in it. Now you can gather a lot of people around the world in one place to celebrate! It is amazing! 👍🏻⁣
⁣
I would say, this is the most positive outcome of COVID19. I guess people needed a way to communicate and learnt how to do it quickly. So I am so grateful for Zoom! This is definitely something that I will keep post covid19. And you? ⁣
⁣
Now to keep celebrating and for more Zoom videos with family to come! ⁣

✨DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS✨⁣ ⁣ If yo

✨DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS✨⁣
⁣
If you are based in England and have a child at Reception, Year 1 or Year 6 you will need to decide if you will send them back to school on Monday 1st June.⁣
⁣
This has been in my mind since the government announced the new guidelines a week ago. My youngest is in Y1 so this applies to her. I have so many mixed feelings about this decision. On one hand I am so exhausted after having overseen 2 different school timetables. There is a lot of work coming from their school so every day we finish way after the normal school hours. My eldest needs a lot of attention and I find it hard to divide myself. So having my youngest at school will allow me to help my eldest more. ⁣
⁣
However, I am not feeling things are ready for this moment yet. I’m not sure it is safe yet and kids at that age will not understand social distancing. The drop off and pick up times concern me. Will the kids wear masks? I don’t think my youngest will keep a mask on for more than 5 minutes. I also know my girls feel strange about being separated like that. One going to school but the other one stays at home with mummy and daddy. Doesn’t feel right, does it? ⁣
⁣
I honestly don’t know what is best to do. I feel it is a little bit too soon considering the UK has the biggest death figures in Europe. Not having a good testing system concerns me too. I am worried things will get worse and we end up with a second wave but at the same time, I feel we need a break. ⁣
⁣
I think we will only know what to do nearer the time. At the moment I am not sure what is best. ⁣

A few weeks ago, I was approached by @silknukofficial to try their Silk’n FaceTite Ritual which helps to reduce wrinkles and tighten your skin in the comfort of your own home! Fantastic right?⁣
⁣
It comes in a beautiful box. It has a mirror and a drawer. You will have everything you need inside this box in order to do a complete FaceTite treatment. In order to achieve the best results, you should try this treatment twice a week for a period of ten weeks and then once every two weeks to maintain the results.⁣
⁣
FaceTite utilises the revolutionary HT™ (Home Tightening) technology that heats all cell layers of the skin. The HT technology consists of 3 energy sources (Bi-Polar RF energy, Red LED light, IR Heat energy) that helps to lift the facial contours and reduce wrinkles, Rejuvenates the skin and restores its natural balance, and Improves the texture of the skin.⁣
⁣
I have been trying this device for weeks. The sensation is very soothing and relaxing. I actually enjoyed it when I was doing the treatment while watching Netflix. My skin feels very soft now. ⁣
⁣
If you would like to read more about the Silk’n FaceTite Ritual, a new blog post is now live for you to see. Check the link in my bio. There is also a new YouTube video (you can check the link in my blog post). ⁣

I have teamed up with @atelier_rosemood_uk, a young French company specialising in the creation and production of beautiful personalised wedding and baby stationery, as well as elegant soft and hardcover photo books, to give away “𝘼 £50 𝙑𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙏𝙤 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙊𝙣 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙒𝙚𝙗𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙊𝙣 𝘼 𝙋𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙤 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠”. ⁣
⁣
When Rosemood approached us to try their photo books, I was so excited because now that we are at home and we cannot travel it is the best moment to put together all those pictures from previous trips we have made to remember them again. ⁣
⁣
I decided to create a photo book about our childfree trip to Greece for our 11th Wedding Anniversary. Putting together our Rosemood photo book was such an easy process to do. They offer high-quality paper and binding as well as an auto-filling, proofreading and retouching service.⁣
⁣
I received our Photo Book last week and I absolutely loved it. It is gorgeous! As soon as I opened it, I was sent back to June 2019! Check my stories to have a closer look.⁣

What a week! I am so tired! The girls started school on Wednesday after 3 weeks of holidays. We mentaly prepared for it. We had all the materials and equipment ready for our first day. I printed their online table for the term as well as for this week. Had their Zoom meetings details ready to join. We couldn’t be more prepared! ⁣
⁣
But even with all of that preparation, I struggled a lot! it wasn’t easy. I found it hard to oversee 2 different time tables! As soon as I was helping one, the other needed my help. ⁣
⁣
Yesterday was even harder. I felt so frustrated. I was prepared again but it was still a fail. I was up from 7 am until 6 pm dealing with their school work! I was exhausted!⁣
⁣
Today, I woke up hoping for things to be better and thankfully, we did have a better day! The girls were calmer, they got more used to our new schedule and they were more happy to be involved. I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel, phew! ⁣
⁣
I am so relieved to see that we can slowly get used to this new routine, but I am not going to lie, I am so happy that today is Friday and that the weekend is finally here! 😃⁣
⁣
Hope you all have a lovely weekend! 💜⁣

This was our last week of the Easter holidays. Yes we had 3 weeks of holidays! I normally moan about it a lot by the end of the last week 😂but this time I have enjoyed having a longer period of holidays. ⁣
⁣
I am not going to lie, I am not looking forward to homeschooling again next week! 🙈This is definitely a hard job for me. I am rubbish at it! I need to do my own research before I help the girls because I don’t remember anything lol. It is so time consuming isn’t it!⁣
⁣
No idea how it will be next week but of course we will do our best to do as much as we can. However, I won’t worry anymore about my girls being behind at school. We can only try right? Hopefully when all of this is over they will be able to catch up at school.⁣
⁣
One of the things that I have loved about these past weeks is to see my girls so close. They used to play a lot before but now they are literally inseparable. Although they do still fight a lot, they are growing their bond so much. It is so lovely to see. They are constantly laughing and inventing new games. Love them so much! ❤️⁣
⁣
Also, thank goodness for the sunny weather! This has been so lovely right? We adventured for the first time this week with a couple of short walks. We really needed the fresh air after so long indoors. I saw so many lovely flowers blossoming. It was lovely! ⁣
