After some time without updating our blog, it’s time for a new entry about a very popular topic 📤. Public daycares in Barcelona.

The registration period to public daycare will kick off soon and so we have created a little guide to understand the basics of how the public daycare system works in the 🏙.

We’re aware that understanding the public system might feel challenging and even overwhelming sometimes 🤦🏻‍♀️. We’ve been there and that’s why our new blog entry is dedicated to this very relevant topic.

You will find all the basic information together with some useful links 📝 to take into account if you’re considering public daycare for your little one.

And if you feel like you could do with some support with the application process or valuing the options available, feel free to contact us. We arrange a 20min discovery call to understand what you need and how we can help.

All the details in LINK IN BIO ⤴️. Check it out!

PAPERWORK can drive you BONKERS 🥺

Lately I have been helping some families with the paperwork required after birth. THE TOPIC - probably one of the most requested ones amongst families that are expecting a baby.

Learning about:
✏️ all the paperwork needed
✏️ the sequence in which it needs to be done
✏️ the documentation required
✏️ the timelines you have

is quite a TASK! If you add the new measures after COVID and not knowing the language, it’s then mission impossible 🤦🏻‍♀️

Helping families navigate through this paperwork labyrinth, makes me especially happy. Not that I’m a fan of bureaucracy at all 😏😊 but feeling that I contribute to reduce the stress at a very special and emotional time of their lives, makes sense to what I’m doing ❤️

If you need help dealing with the paperwork after birth or you know someone who could use some guidance in the process, you can contact us. We organise 20 min discovery calls to understand your needs and explain what we do!

I must confess that I love this time of the year🍁🍄. Autumn is starting to kick in, the colours of the trees are changing 🍂 and streets are full of kids dressed in Halloween costumes 🎃 or Castanyeras 🌰 with lovely prints.

It’s going to be a long weekend full of activities and knowing what’s going on in the 🏙, it’s definitely a ➕! Whenever I want to learn what’s out there in Barcelona, I check out .co - a platform where you can find all the activities available for families in the city.

They have a specific entry in their blog where you will find all the details of La Castanyada 🌰 and Halloween 🎃 activities for kids in Barcelona. It includes very complete information organised by neighbourhood, age and date of event. Worth checking it out! 🙌🏻

Enjoy the long weekend full of festivities 🍂🍁🍄🌰🎃

On World Mental Health day, I wanted to stress the importance of self care especially when motherhood comes in place and other priorities tend to come first. The importance of finding the shelter you need when the storm is coming.

Therapy has played a key role in my life in the last years and I have a profound respect for this profession. Hence the fact that we have dedicated many hours understanding the best options available in Barcelona and one of the first articles in our blog was dedicated to how to find a good therapist in the city.

Do you want to know more about how to access therapy in Barcelona? Do you feel like you could do with some professional help? Check our blog for more details - you can find the link in BIO ⤴️ - or contact us!

Summer holiday memories 💦… days with no timetables, different plans, disconnecting from daily routine and connecting with the small beautiful moments shared with your loved ones❤️… and yes, holidays also include moments of exhaustion, frustration and dreaming of a couple of days ( or maybe more ☺️) on an island 🏝because as I read not long ago, ambiguity is part of life too 🙏🏻

When summer arrives, outdoor swimming pools come to life. I remember we used to go quite often to the ones in Amsterdam, a nice way to freshen up and have that summer feeling 😎.

There are several options available in Barcelona that are worth checking.

Here are the most popular ones:

💦Club Natació Atlètic - CEM Sant Sebastià (Barceloneta)

💦Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc

💦Club Natació de Montjuïc

💦CEM Parc de la Ciutadella

💦Llac de can Dragó (Sant Andreu)

💦Can Caralleu (near Parc de l’Oreneta)

💦Zona de baños de Forum

💦Parc de la Creueta del Coll

I particularly love the views from Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc. There’s a bar at the top where I took this photo and could spend hours just watching the city… let’s face it, something quite impossible when you have kids 😉

Do you have any favorite ones?

MEETING UP

After being quite a few months doing research, studying behind the scenes … it’s great to get out there and start meeting people ( with all safety precautions, obviously… 🥺)

I always loved being part of a team working together with a mission and lately, I have been involved in a really cool project with great people and ideas.

I’m beyond excited and grateful to be connected to my passion to people,to the community…
