My daughters love to write. As soon as Maisy started school and was coming home telling us all about her hand writing all of them started taking a keen interest. Now Bella has also started school it has only escalated. They will all sit to the table drawing pictures and writing the stories to go with them. Lottie’s understandable is marks but she knows what she wants to write as she reads it all back to me after. There is something so nice about actually putting pen to paper yet it seems to be dying out. I myself am guilty…
Once again I find myself miserable with a cold. I hadn’t’ been able to shake the last one from back in December, so to find myself feeling crappy again really isn’t the best. Being ill with children means you don’t really have the time to be ill at all. You dose up, you suck it up and you carry on with your day. Thursday’s are always Mummy and Lottie day’s.

I’ve been abroad with Maisy and Bella before Lottie was born but little Lottie has never been on a plane! For two reasons; first being as a single parent the thought of me and three children in another country is quite scary. Secondly is the cost, it is so expensive to travel…
Lottie has turned into a little fuss pot when it comes to dinner time. She is too busy messing about making her sisters laugh and not actually getting any food in her mouth. I always enjoyed dinner time with the girls, we sit together, enjoying the meal I had cooked and have a chat but Lottie’s sudden rebellion has been making it tough. I decided to take some action to try and get our meal times back to normal by giving Lottie a little incentive to sit and eat nicely with us. Rather than the usual you wont get any…
