Leaving

Even with my parents here the house is uncharacteristically quiet. Dadonthebrink is away in Sweden. That is our weekday norm now and slowly we are getting used to it. We skype as often as we can, though sometimes our timings aren't synchronised, we are sitting down for a meal, or he is just driving to his accommodation.

A couple of weeks ago I was solo parenting and really struggling to juggle my 6 year old, 4 year old and 11 month old, undertaking their bath- and bedtime routine on my own.  I bumped into the lovely Faye, who runs Blissful Bambinos, at our favourite bookshop and asked how she'd suggest injecting Blissful into our bath and bedtime routine.  She and her business partner, Sophie, … [Read more...] about 7 Top Tips for a Blissful Bath and Bedtime

what's so funny the funny things our children say

Welcome to the temporary home of the Wot so Funee link up of blog posts.  A one week only special! I arm-wrestled the Wot so Funee linky from Actually Mummy for a cunning plan; then that cunning plan evaporated before it was even put into motion. Oh well...next time! However, I thought it would still be fun to host the link up of blog posts about the funny things our … [Read more...] about Wot so Funee? Fish fingers are made of…
