Hmm. So it seems I haven’t been blogging much lately. You see, there’s not much energy left after a full day of being a mama, so there’s no way I can even make up a sentence in my head let alone write it down. But as I said, it’s energy and right now I am doing a lot to shift that energy and not even get pissed off at the fact that at this very moment, my dog is licking my feet. I just don’t like it! BUT. Shifting gear and giving you a little blog post on life lately.
Preschools are very important for your child and for you because they help both of you get used to the idea of them being at school. It also helps them to get a bit of a headstart on their education, so when they do start school, they won’t be so overwhelmed. Many children meet friends at preschool as well, so when they start school, they already know some of their classmates and that makes the transition a lot easier.
If you have kids, then you will want them to have the best time whenever you go on vacation. This is understandable, but if you want this to be the case, then you need to take a few steps to ensure their complete comfort at all times.
It feels like a lovely and proper winter’s late afternoon as I sit on my veranda with a cup of freshly grated ginger tea and my laptop, taking in the natural sound of the outdoors as opposed to my kids screaming and arguing. I’ve been locked up with them for a month.
So here we are, smack bang in the middle of a pandemic and many of us on lockdown. There’s fear and panic in the air and uncertainty that has us all freaked out. Schools have closed as I’m sure everything else will too at some point in the very near future. And so, many of us have found ourselves at home with the kids more than we’re used to, some of us are homeschooling, others are trying to work from home and all of us just want to make it until bedtime. With the help of my readers and social media I’ve put together a quick post on how to keep the kids busy so you can get some shit done, reminders to take care of ourselves and things to do as a family.
