Energised by the Little Things
Children have an innate curiousity and an interest in things we take for granted. As lockdown is starting to trap us in the four walls of our local area, it took a short walk to our local park to realise that sometimes we limit and confine ourselves. With children, everything is a new experience noContinue reading “Energised by the Little Things”
Letting Go
As many parents know, regardless of how old your children get, you are subject to sleepless nights and having to get on with it the next day. I found that when I was off of work, I would dwell on it and remember how tired I was but going to work meant that I wouldContinue reading “Letting Go”
Being in the moment
It’s been a while since I wrote my last blog post. I’m very thankful so many of you have kept reading it whilst I have been away being in the moment. I’m naturally a busy-minded person having multiple search tabs in my brain and enjoying being able to move from one topic to the next-Continue reading “Being in the moment”
External Validation
Living in Tier 3 is interesting. You can go out and about, but you can’t visit each other in homes. Making friends becomes very challenging at the loss to your support network. As a mother, I am aware of how often I call my mum, my friends who have more experience to ask advice onContinue reading “External Validation”
Loop the Loop
It’s been a while since I’ve posted and that is because we are enjoying our outdoors time again after the two week isolation. It’s been great just to get in the fresh air, cycle up a hill (Phew!) and then whizz down again just like freedom. It’s almost the feeling of starting something new andContinue reading “Loop the Loop”
Nature
As shared previously, my little one loves anything to do with leaves, insects, soil, trees. Here is a photograph of her looking outside of a basketball court in the park in order to pick leaves from a nearby tree; I have learned to check her pockets before I set the laundry! We recently needed toContinue reading “Nature”
In a Minute
In a Minute! Where do the children learn these words? Where do adults learn this concept? What happened to having the natural human instinct which says just do it now? the impulse to really do something immediately because we know it is the right thing to do? I look at my children and with theContinue reading “In a Minute”
Water Balloons
It’s another scorching hot day! It is incredible how much summer we are having! Our interest at going to the beach has peaked but the scenes on the news show way too many crowds and therefore infection risk so we will enjoy our garden! My kids love water balloons… filling them up is just asContinue reading “Water Balloons”
Being a Chicken mum
We have had a busy morning doing our usual park games, sandwiches in the park and back home by 13:00. I was flat out tired as I had spent the previous evening de-cluttering wardrobes after the girls had one to bed. My eldest asked me to run up the stairs to close her top buttonContinue reading “Being a Chicken mum”
