Hello there! Do you like the new banner? I’m a little bit proud you see, I made it myself. With a program, on a computer. This is something just a little bit special. Because, I’m hopeless with computers. I have a MacBook Air now, it’s my baby. I got it because I spilt a cup of coffee on my old laptop and it died. See, hopeless with computers, case and point! Why am I telling you this? Firstly because I’m hoping that you can sympathise with me? I’m not the only one who struggles with technology am I? The other reason, because I’ve been dabbling with computers and stuff lately! Why, you ask? Because,
The Nanny Shecando blog has been updated!
A facelift, a new address, some changes here, some changes there; spring cleaning at it’s best. Today, on what is usually Photo Love Friday, I’m giving you the details and letting you in on a proposition for how I can make you more time rich!
We’ve Moved
Changes have been abound here at Nanny Shecando in the last few weeks. Incase you didn’t notice, we moved! Yep, that’s right. I’ll say it again, we moved! www.nannyshecando.com is the new home of Nanny Shecando and we’re liking it. Are you?
It’s been long process. Whilst we didn’t have to deal with the headache of packing boxes and the masking tape and removalist trucks, I still had those moments of Oh my. This is not good. What am I doing! I don’t know about you, but I know absolutely nothing about html and code. Until recently, my idea of a computer was: that it stored music, that it had Microsoft word to write last-minute assignments, and that it had internet access to Google. Pretty simply really. I have to admit, that last feature has been a lifesaver. Google has been my steady friend in the middle of the night during the moving process, answering all of my questions and helping me ride out the frustrations of but it should be working, why is it not working? The YouTube video said it would work!
Watch This Space
We still have many things to tweak and alter, many things to discover and trial, and many things to scrap in favour of a better alternative over time. So far the blogging journey has been an experimentation, and I have no doubt that it will continue to be so. I hope you can handle a bumpy ride at times and brave it out, because (teaser alert!) exciting and big things are coming your way c/o Nanny Shecando in the next few months.
A Proposition
I have a little proposition for you all. As I mentioned in an earlier post this year, life is busy. Life is hectic, frantic, jam-packed, exciting, nerve-wracking, memorable, special and unique. Each and every one of us has a million and one things to do each day, and not enough time to get them all done. I’ve often joked with a dear friend that if only we could sit down and build a contraption to slow down time, or to transport ourselves through time, we’d be less time poor and more time rich.

Speaking of being time poor, I’ve thought a lot about the Friday Photo Love series. I started it a few months ago to share a little love with you all each Friday. It’s been my pleasure to give you a candid glimpse into the ‘little moments’ of the nanny life. To select the cheekiest, most expressive photo snapped during the week and to pop it into your inbox. But I’ve decided that the photo series should change to become a regular update, on a not so regular schedule. Perhaps a newsletter every other month that’s delivered into your inbox? A couple of photos, some tips and tricks, a story or two and maybe even a They Said What?! quote.
Plus, a Sunday morning newsletter with fun breakfast ideas and reviews of the latest kids book or movies would be so much more enjoyable than reading yesterday’s papers. Right?
Because as I said, life is busy. Everyday I wake to 20-40 emails, and I can only imagine what it’s like for you. So whilst I cannot yet give you a contraption to slow down time (patent pending), I can do you a favour by reducing the clutter in your inbox. Making you rich with time. I know for me, that’s a win! Plus, if you’re following me on Instagram and Facebook, you’ll be seeing the kids all the time in the daily photo share.
By the way, just incase you feel like dropping me a line, you can at hope@nannyshecando.com. All email is welcome, share your tips, share the recent laughs, let me know what you like and what you don’t and feel free to say hi.
Subscribe To The Newsletter
In case you haven’t already, make sure you head over to the new home of Nanny Shecando (just click the link) and complete the form to make sure you are subscribed to get our updates. It’s as easy as popping in your first name and an email address. Two steps and you’re done. Plus, on the bottom of every email you receive will be an unsubscribe button, just incase an update once every other month feels a little too much like we’re going steady and you need to loosen your tie. I would hate for you to miss out on more of the cheeky grins of Elly-Belly, the yoghurt covered faces of The Zacetac, the antics of Miss Charlie and the cute(ness) of a rapidly growing Baby Viv. Speaking of rapidly growing Baby Viv, here’s some love ℅ it being Friday.
Today’s Friday Photo Love Instalment
This little precious is growing up so fast!
It feels like just yesterday that this little precious was sleeping in my arms all day. So little and adorable. Now she’s still adorable, just not so little.
We’re approaching the big 1st birthday in a few weeks, any tips for planning the most perfect little girl’s birthday party?
Also, what are your thoughts on my proposition. Like it or hate it? Is de-cluttering your inbox on your to-do list as well? Do you want to be less time poor and more time rich? And please, drop me an email or comment and tell me what you think of the new look Nanny Shecando (all feedback taken on board)!
