I never meant to be gone so long, but life has a way of moving on and time gets away... Not that things haven't been busy. With three kids, one husband, a business, a home and everything that these things bring with them, posting here has been pushed to the back burner for too long!
Since I was last here our baby girl has been doing some growing...

Also our eldest has started school, and let me say that I might have found it a little hard to adjust to our new routine! The lunches, the getting-everyone-ready-to-walk-out-the-door-by-a-certain-time five days a week, the laundry, the staying on top of all the notes sent home, the remembering which days are library/sport/news/early finishes etc. If any of you more experienced school mums/dads have any tips to offer they will be gratefully received!
We
walk to and from school most days, one day the boys were lagging
behind, on turning around to hurry them up, I realised they were walking
like this, chatting about their days. Here's hoping they stay this
close forever!
Add to those major events, a market, a couple of our birthdays, Christmas, Summer holidays and that just about sums up what's been happening for the last six months. I have come to realise some things over these last few months:
- That doing markets will be near impossible for the next little while.
- That time is seriously fleeting and these days with my little ones are so very precious.
- That creativity is needed to retain my sanity
- That I struggle to find a balance between the last two points!
Yes, yes, to all your points- although I've never managed to even get to a craft market, let alone sell stuff at one! Starting school is a big deal for the whole family. I'm no expert at being organized, but 2 things I found helpful is a chart on the wall with what day is what and I try to return notes and money as soon as I get them so I don't forget.!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bek! Your point about dealing with notes straight away is invaluable, as is keeping ahead of what's coming on the calender. Hope you're having a great start to this year :)
