Date night, or time together alone, is so important and we swear by it! In fact if Zac doesn't "MAKE AN EFFORT" I can start to get irritated 😅 There is something faintly sad about the idea of needing to spend time together but ask the experts and they'll tell you that it's 👌 to a healthy relationship! Especially after kids! We don't always get date night scheduled into the week (courtesy of unreliable babysitters and general laziness) but we do try - for the sake of not wanting to punch each other in the face - we do try! So do something you wouldn't normally, or things you used to do before kids! 🤔 We might do a post on some good, well priced spots around town but the idea is to enjoy the time with your other half. 😊 . . And don't feel guilty for leaving the kids for a few hours. You'll both feel refreshed and my motto is always "Happy Mum & Dad, Happy Kids".. 🕺🏻💃🏽 And it's nice to hear "Mummy when I'm an adult can I go on a date with you" 😀❤❤️ . . #datenight #couplegoals #relationshipgoals #marriagegoals #datingmyhusband #datenightoutfit #ootdmen #ootd #mumstyle #dadstyle #couplelook #lifeafterkids #londonparents #datenightlook #londonmum #mixedcouples #tuesdaytips #tuesdaytruth #dresslikeadad #dresslikeamother #datingmywife

🤔 We kinda had another long break from Instagram over the last month, a self imposed social media detox and time for each other - something we can't recommend enough! Events in our old neighbourhood in Notting Hill had left us feeling really shaken too and we've spent some time reaching out to people affected by the Grenfell Tower fire. We can get caught up in the pressures of life and sometimes certain events have a sobering affect, a moment to appreciate and value what you have right? . . But we're excited about plans for the rest of Summer - more from us on London life and adventures outside of it - more insights and hacks and definitely more videos! 🙌💯 Happy Monday everyone! ❤️✌️ . . #lifewithkids #familylife #motherhood #londonmum #instamum #summerlove #strawberry #pickyourown #red #familygoals #citykids #strawberrypicking #copasfarm #mummylife #dresslikeamother #mumstyle #redskirt #zarakids #gapkids #candidchildhood #childrenofinstagram #childhoodunplugged #honestmotherhood #cameramama #pixel_kids #latinamama #latinamum #parentinglife

London has been shaken. And if you're watching your screens you'll know it. When I was on LBC radio earlier today the words I used were 'ticking time bomb'. The community deserve better than this. #grenfelltowerfire #realheroes #glenfelltower #communitylove #change #togetherwecanmakeadifference #forthemanynotthefew #londonfire #londoner #london4all #thisislondon #londonist #speakout #justiceforall #latimerroad #northkensington #communityspirit #seektruth #equalityforall #inquestnotinquiry #endausterity #peopleoverprofit

There is a palpable sense of confusion and now anger. There is no coordinated efforts from the council to organise people or the thousands of donations coming in. It's chaotic. . . The community have taken the lead and are providing all the support and assistance. Police are stopping people without wristbands in certain areas. . Information is slow in coming through and families affected are starting to question what's going on. "17 dead, come on!" The media aren't reporting a lot of what has and is happening, like the Muslim boys returning home from Ramadan prayers who pushed past the police to get people out. . kids talking about where their friends are, and there are a very concerning number of kids missing from classrooms. A mother told us yesterday that it "simply doesn't make sense". . Our PM has announced a Public Inquiry, when in fact it's an INQUEST that is needed. The former is government lead and the latter gives a voice to the victims. . These people have been let down BEFORE, DURING and now AFTER this horrific incident. Is it because they're poor? It seems as though this is very much a class and race issue? Is it a tipping point? I hope so. . . #grenfelltowerfire #realheroes #glenfelltower #communitylove #change #togetherwecanmakeadifference #forthemanynotthefew #londonfire #londoner #london4all #thisislondon #londonist #speakout #justiceforall #latimerroad #northkensington #communityspirit #seektruth #equalityforall #inquestnotinquiry #endausterity #peopleoverprofit

We spent another evening at the Grenfell Tower site and it's no easier coming to terms with what has happened to this community. . . If you work in digital media or you're an ' influencer' then you're content normally stays consistent on theme and tone. And you mustn't get political, almost always skimming the surface with a universal message (It's all quite sad I know). . . But we're a bit upset, and we wanna share our images and our thoughts on what we're hearing and seeing. Some REAL TALK! . . #grenfelltowerfire #prayforlondon #glenfelltower #londongrieving #northkensington #blackandwhiteonly #grayscale #communitylove #latimerroad #forthemanynotthefew #equalityforall #realtalk #londonfire #londonlife #londoner #london4all #thisislondon #thepeoplearethepower

Absolute horror, when a 27 tower block in West London turned into a death trap. 250 firefighters came to an inferno. Such a deeply shocking and upsetting incident. We went down there with food and clothes this morning and it's hard to believe this kind of thing can happen in this day and age. Lots of questions need answering, LOTS! But for now we must thank those who step up when it counts - fire fighters, ambulance and the local community. And it's these guys that have the worst cuts in pay and funding. . #grenfelltower #londonfire #londonfirebrigade #communitylove #towerblock #grenfeltowerfire #wednesdaylove #lfb #firefighters #firemen #heroes #realheroes #grenfelltowerfire #grenfelltower👏

Okay so the last 2 weeks we've been hot with the pox 🔥, just a really tough thing for kids to go through and for us to see them go through too. I thought my son had it bad but once my little girl caught it, it was everywhere and I mean everywhere! 😧And she wouldn't let me leave her side - I was her comforter getting a comfortable 3 hours of sleep a night! 😊 . . ☝🏼So here are a few tips on handling the pox: 1. Try not to stress them out as it can bring on itchiness. So if they're having a moment just take you time. 2. Bath and shower as often as possible, it relevies the itchiness. I bought an amazing lavender bubble bath which my daughter loved and it was the only thing that has made her happy. 3. We all know about Calamine oil and ofcourse calpole! 4. Dont worry if they are not eating as much when they're hungry they'll eat so instead make loads of nice juices and smoothies this will give them all their vital vitamins they need. 5 I love Holland & Barret for healthy treats so head down there and pick up something like quinoa crisps! My kids loved it especially with guacamole or houmus dips! . . My top tips! If you have any others please share as my little girl is still in unwell. ☹️😷😐 . . #chickenpox #notfeelingwell #kidsandmothers #motherhood #instamum #citylife #latinamum #londonmum #thekidsarealright #pox #parentinglife #familylife #mummyknowsbest

Yesterday I turned 35th and in true latin style I celebrated with gusto, making it about family as well as getting dressed up (A girl's gotta rock them heels 👠 💄💅🏼 . Born in Paraguay but made in London. I'm a Latina Mother, Wife, Daughter, Entrepreneur and what Zac would describe as all round BOWSS! . I'm NOT in it for the fame or the money. Here to share London and family life - embracing it all! 😍👍🏼🎉💃🏽😃. .

☀️Sometimes it's the simplest things in life. This little £7.99 kite was the most fun we've had in a while. It paled in comparison to some of the larger ones on display in Hampstead Heath yesterday but when it caught the air the darn thing was so much fun. Parliament Hill is an awesome spot for this - at the top you get the best conditions and spectacular views too! 👌There's gonna be more of this for sure! 🎵"Up to the highest height". 😀 . . #instamoment #dadlife #londondad #londonlife #familylife #familygoals #timetogether #teachthemyoung #fatherhood #dadswag #dadknowsbest #daddymode #instadad #fatherandson #hampsteadheath #parlimenthill #lessismore #nofilter #dadvsmum #kite #kiteflying #goflyakite #parentingwin #parentinglife

With Leti out of town it’s been my chance to step up and Dad up. 👊 I’ve basically spent the week taking care of these kids and feel like I’m now winning at life. 😀 . . Despite their shocking ability to grab my phone and call Mum (and even put her on speaker), I think they had fun. With a new song (‘Mr Poo Poo Pants’), a burnt carpet (beads I ironed completely flat), paint on the wall, and our home looking like a steaming hot mess, I think it was a success! 👀 . . Studies have shown Dads play with their kids differently to Mums, with a distinct inability to multi-task the way Mums do. According to a recent study, stay-at-home dads are leaving nearly half the household chores to their working wives. Seems a bit unfair, but I understand how and why that is. . . Which is why I think Mums are simply amazing, and despite our best intentions, us Dads will only ever play second fiddle to their unique way of keeping it all together. 💯👊 . . #parentinglife #parentingmoments #parentinglife #fatherlife #fatherhood #dadlife #londondad #nofilter #thekidsarealright #familylife #family1st #londonparents #dadvsmum #mumvsdad #whendadsincharge #instadad #daddydaycare #daddyday #dadstyle #dadswag #whenmumsaway

So we've been a bit quiet, we know. We've been off the social media scene for some time, with only the occasional light reading, and it's been 👌. It was an involuntary social media break, unprovoked but much needed. It's amazing how much of your life you can enjoy when you decide to put your phone down for a bit, and in this instance it's a drive to the middle of nowhere without any reception. . We love Instagram - I meant it's all good...but let's face it - It ain't real!! 😂 come on, you know it too! The people around you however and the time you spend together is. 💯Can't afford those real life unfollows.

Okay that's it!! I've had enough of this crazy weather, it's so incredibly unpredictable! .So I'm gonna walk through these fields of yellow which I guess could be like sunshine and pretend the sun is shinning!!

This not so perfect weather's got me thinking about the not so perfect Insta-moments. I sometimes wonder what my kids think when I take a selfie with them 🤔 it used to be easier when they were harmless babies but now it's all chaos and jokes 😤Trying to capture 'a moment' normally involves fingers in my face but I appreciate I probably deserve it for sticking a camera in theirs 😂📸 . . #mumlife #mummylife #motherhood #motheranddaughter #parentinglife #parentingmoments #selfiedoneright #parentingswag #parentinggoals #daughterslove #londonmum #instamum #citykids #letsdothis #urbanparenting #letthembelittle #inyourface #familylife #notsoperfectmoment

🚖👍 Our new member of the family is fitting in nicely...we think 😉. In large part thanks to a neat sized pushchair and some careful decision making with what to take (like a no frills flight). It's not your conventional set of family wheels (as it's not too far from being a glorified go-kart!) but we don't always see things like that. 😁💙💯 Happy parents happy kids, something like that right? . . #bmwe30lovers #bmwe30club #e30convertible #e30 #e30lifestyle #bmwclassic #bmwlifestyle #parentinglife #parentingwin #parentinggoals #londonparents #parentingswag #regentspark #londoncitylife #thelondonlifeinc #igerslondon #london4all #familycar #bmwlife

We went to check out the London Transport Museum Depot in Acton today, open only 2 days a year and home to 320,000 different stuff 😉 So this is the place that supplies everything for the better known Transport Museum in Covent Garden. It does attract a particular set of enthusiasts and as one parent told us, you might find yourself fighting with a 60 year old over sharing 😳But it's great for kids and quite good fun. Anyway, we think you should check it out! It finishes tomorrow and is £12 for adults/free for kids. 🚕🚦🚂🚋🚍🚌 . . ☝️We're there again tomorrow if you wanna say hello (ticket lasts both days and we're getting our money's worth!😌). . . #londontransportmuseum #londontransportmuseumdepot #visitlondon #thingstodoinlondon #londonmum #londonlife #thisweekend #vintagelondon #undergroundsigns #actondepot #openweekend #familyblogger #iconic #secretlondon #instamum #mindthegap #londonunderground

Here's a few quotes from my kids over the Half Term:; my 👦🏻 said "mummy I don't like it when you open your mouth and smile, I like when you smile with just your teeth" I felt like someone said YOU GOT TOLD GIRL!! 😂😂 then yesterday at the ballet in the middle of dead silence my 👧🏻 says "mummy I can see that dancer's willy mummy I!!☺☺". One of the best things we did over half term was watch the new adaptation of Cinderella at Peacock Theatre for children aged 3 up by @englishnationalballet 😍😍I can't recommend it enough! . #londonfamily #pinkskirt #motheranddaughter #visitlondon #familyblogger #londonmum #instamum #thingskidssay #parentinglife #familylife #motherhood #instaparents #citylife #mycity #englishnationalballet #cinderellaenglishschool #mummystyle
