I have written a lot about sleep… it means a lot to me!!!! I love it when the routine works and bedtime means bedtime and then they sleep all night. I love the predictability of this, and love the amount of sleep I manage to get! Right now we seem to be going through some […]
Lockdown 2020 – thinking about the positives
As I write this, we are entering week 10 of lockdown. 9 weeks of just us 4 – adapting, surviving, arguing, enjoying, learning and playing. And although we feel like we have had to give up so so much – mostly spending time with our family and friends, there are positives that have come from it, […]
Term one of school done…
As we near the end of schools term one, I recap on how it has gone!!!
The end of nursery…
It is strange, we have known Woody’s final nursery date for ages. August 23rd 2019. We have all been totally fine about this. Sad that it is the end of an era, but excited for the adventure school will bring. Also, it’s not like we are leaving the nursery as Arlo will still be there […]
tears at nursery drop off…
There were tears at nursery drop off this morning, and they were mine. Some mornings are more testing than others. Some mornings everyone gets dressed without being asked too many times, get teeth cleaned and get in the car nicely. That morning was not this morning. The argument about switching the iPad off and getting […]
Starting School…
Its still just over 4 months away, but Woody will start primary school this year. Its going to be a big process – lots of things to do and lots of emotions, so thought I’d start writing about it all. Although he goes to nursery full time, he has been going there since he was 7 […]
Family holiday to Cornwall…
We have enjoyed a few trips to Cornwall as a family and have thoroughly enjoyed it every time. Those beaches. And the hot chocolates and scones!!! I needed to take some annual leave and searched around for where to go, before deciding on heading back to Cornwall. We stayed at The Park in Mawgan Porth. […]
PND when your baby isn’t a baby
So as the year is coming to an end, I want to get this written as I’m thinking new year new me (what a cliche!!!!!), and I am finally ready to write it. I am looking back on 2018 as a year which gives me mixed feelings. I have some lovely memories from the year, […]
Arlo at 18 months…
It has been a while since I last blogged, but as my littlest turned 18 months I felt compelled to get his current characteristics and learning’s noted down so we don’t forget. The day to day continues, and I have to remember how important it is to stop and realise what he is doing now, and […]
Threenagers…
I’ve always known the word threenager, but I don’t think I fully thought about what it meant, or what it could mean for me. However, in the past few weeks I have used the word threenager lots. My beautiful, three year old, little boy has shown signs of what I looked like as a teenager… […]
