This year has been a very special one and I know I will remember it forever. It’s been a year of first times. The first ride on a bicycle together 🚲, the first dip in the sea 🌊, the first steps 👣. Our first birthday as mum and daughter 🎂 and our first Christmas together 🎄. Seeing Daphne growing and developing her skills is magical and it’s the best gift I could ever been given. I was looking forward to see Daphne playing with her new the 3-in-1 Sit, Walk & Ride Unicorn from @infantinobaby 🦄. In the past few weeks I could see her more and more confident getting on and off the unicorn and it certainly helped her to get to know the potential of her body and it’s limits. She loves dancing to the music coming from the unicorn 🎶 and she knows by now how to make the music start! I have so much fun seeing her playing with it. One of her favourite things is pulling the horse seat up, taking out a ball and putting it back through the seat’s hole. When she does that she would say ‘YEEEEEEE’ 🙌🏼👏🏼!! She’s very proud of what she can do 😌☺️. I can only imagine how much fun she will have in a few months, when she will be able to ride the unicorn around the house alone 🦄. For now, she can push it as a walker or going backwards when sitting on it. I’m very happy with this toy from @infantinobaby and I believe this could be a great Christmas or first birthday gift idea! 🎄🎄🎁🎁 • • • #infantino #unicorn #babytoy #review #baby #christmas #birthday #sensoryplay #giftideas #motherhood #london #present #gift

I grew up in Italy and when it was time for me to choose the type of high school to attend I was told to go for the one that would prepare me for university, hence it would ‘open more doors’ for me in the future. At that time, I was 14, nothing sounded more vague than the above 🤷🏻‍♀️. I look at myself right now with that degree and more in my hands but with the feeling that I haven’t opened the right door yet. So now I’m thinking, and I want to share this because I know by now I’m not the only one in her thirties and feeling lost at times, what went wrong? We’re smart, talented and with the greatest potential. What is holding us back? Why are we not fully conscious of what our passions are so that we can chase our dreams and have a meaningful life with less anxiety, frustration and more sleep? There could be hours of conversations around this topic, and I would love to hear your opinion on this. My impression is that we were probably too distracted by getting ready for the ‘many doors’ to potentially open instead of focusing on ourselves and feeling confident of who we are. When is too late to connect with ourselves? Enlighten me!

There’s no one more tired than me 😐. I have so many thoughts to share but my brain 🧠 is just not functioning 🤪.

Living for moments like this ♥️. I will never forget the past 5 days. We’ve celebrated. We blew candles. We played a lot. We hugged more. I can’t stop thinking of where we were last year this week, so many things happened and changed. We were living in a bubble of joy and first times. Today I’m celebrating the beauty of my life since my daughter is part of my life. My love for this little human is growing everyday more and my heart is expanding like never before ♥️. It might sound cliche, I never experienced such love before. Nothing like Mother’s Love. Happy first birthday baby D! 🎂🌸 • • • #motherlove #motherhood #firstbirthday #love #joyoverload #motheranddaughter #blessed #youandI

Last year today I was over the nesting stage and starting freaking out because I was two days over the due date, as if the due date was an expiring date 🤦🏻‍♀️. I was worried to have to go through medical induction and I was also trying to predict my child birth with the moon cycles 🌚🤦🏻‍♀️. This is giving you a measure of how lost and insecure I was. Up to the very last day of pregnancy, a woman goes through millions of different feelings and emotions for the very first time. It’s exhausting but it’s also a unique opportunity for us women to get to know ourselves better. It’s a deep and overwhelming journey and I’m realising how it’s still difficult, almost impossible, to describe most of the feelings I was going through at that time. In two days I will be celebrating the first year of life of my child and one year of being a mummy! Bravo to us! ♥️ #motherhood #firstbirthday #love #mum #baby #daughter #family

A question that people often ask me is, would I go back living in Italy? No one knows what the future will bring but there’s something about London I’m not ready to give up. This city is giving me the opportunity to get to know extraordinary women that inspire me on many levels. I realise how back in Italy I suffered for the lack of role models. The dominating culture is about representing the ‘perfect woman’. The women I was looking at through the media and in real life, were never really expressing their feelings or sharing their experiences, they were too busy showing the spotless side of their life. The digital era we’re in is widening the spectrum of role models and representation for us women, which is amazing. Would I’ve been exposed to such different representation if I wasn’t living in London? I’m not sure. I don’t think so. My network here in London gets bigger and more interesting every day and it makes me fill fulfilled. I’m aware this is something I achieved myself and I feel very grateful for it. Does anyone relate in some way? Have a wonderful day! xx • • Outfit @endource_style 🍁 Shot by @natashaclairephotography 🍁 • • • #goodmorning #london #women #womenempowerment #womensupportwomen #endource #endourcecollabs #andotherstories #charleskeith #ootd #whatiwore #fashion #style #motherhood #inspiration #autumn #blog

My mind currently looks like a browser with thousands open tabs. I keep adding to my already long to-do list things that, at some point, I want to know more about, learn and investigate on. Something that always characterised me is the curiosity and hunger for experiences. I tend to get bored quickly and I can’t keep my mind still. The older I get the more aware I become about the opportunities I have. They’re all there, in front of me. I’m committing to stop waiting for something to happen and instead to put my efforts in knocking down the shields, fears and insecurities that divide me from my wishes. I want to unveil my inner voice. I want to do it for myself. It’s time to free all the unsaid. It’s time to blossom 🌸. Wishing you all a cozy Sunday evening xx • • Outfit @endource_style 💘 Shot by @natashaclairephotography 💘 • • • #endource #endourcecollabs #fashion #style #lifestyle #whatiwore #ootd #blog #london #andotherstories #bodenclothing #mintvelvet #cute #cozy #autumn

When people ask me what my plans are for the weekend, I panic 😐. I’m like, sh*, I haven’t planned anything yet! Do I really have time to plan the weekend? Nah. And do I want to plan something? If I’m honest I only dream for a couple of hours where I can chill and nap legs up on the sofa. Snuggle under a blanket watching anything and feeling happy about making the end of the week in one piece. Daily schedules, deadline, reminders, thinking ahead...gosh it’s so mentally exhausting! I finally realised that you don’t really land on planet adulthood until you have a child 😬. Anyway, what’s your plan for the weekend guys???? 😆 Sending love 😽😽 • • Outfit @endource_style 🧡 Shot @natashaclairephotography 🧡 • • • #weekend #mood #endource #endourcecollabs #autumn #ootd #whatiwore #andotherstories tories #parenting #motherhood #fashion #style #london
