She’s Growing Up….
 |
I was looking through photographs over the weekend, and like a bolt from the blue, I became choked up. My little girl, is growing up!
Miss N, my eldest daughter, who turned 10 in September, will always be my little girl, I know. However she is growing up so fast. She has developed a love of learning all about make-up, and developing her own sense of style. I remember how that feels, but didn’t realise how hard it is as a mother to watch your children grow up so fast. Though I confess, I did a little happy dance’ when you said you would like some purple Doc Martins for Christmas.
I definitely started to have an idea about my own style much later than this. So maybe that’s where the difference lies?
I am so proud of you, I love that you know exactly what you want, but it hard for both of us, when we disagree. I’m sure we will be having words about hem lines and heels, in three or four years from now, but please, please don’t make it any sooner!
So Miss N, for now, I’m concentrating on nurturing the fact, you are still my little girl.
One day, I’m sure you will have your own make-up, and clothing line. I love that over half term you made up your own perfume, and it doesn’t smell too bad, and It didn’t take too long to clean the nail varnish up off your bedroom floor, really.
I love that you customised your own t-shirt, but next time Miss N, check that its one that you can cut up….ok?
You are a star Miss N, you are shining so brightly and I love you!

Sweet Dreams

Miss N has just reached the funny age of 9 going on 19! She seems to have overnight become a sleep loving teenager. She is no longer the first person awake, bounding into our bedroom to greet us with a smile. But the last out of bed, who seems to spend an age stretching and yawning and sleepily replying ‘In a minute Mum’.
So when I told her she would be getting a new Duvet, she was really genuinely delighted. We have been planning this for a while, together with a new bed. So when I was approached to review one I jumped at the chance. We bought her new bedroom furniture last year, and now all her bedroom needs is a more grown-up bed to match. Continue Reading

Daydreaming
 |
When I was much younger, I could lose so much time daydreaming. Musing over the future. Sometimes fanciful, sometimes downright obscure.
I was sat watching my 9-year-old yesterday, just sat there on the sofa, a book in her lap that she wasn’t reading. A flicker of a smile on her face, staring off into space. I hesitated, I nearly broke the daydream by asking her something pointless like ‘have you finished you homework’ when I stopped.
Why break that moment?
I remember my daytime dreams being almost recuperative. A time for my brain to move in to a fantasy land of wishes and hopes. Do I daydream now? No, I don’t think I do!
Is it because I’m too busy, or is it because my brain just doesn’t work like that anymore. I honestly can’t remember the last time I daydreamed. Our lives are so over stimulated, too much noise and stuff happening. It got me to thinking, do I ever just sit there and just be?Let my mind escape the rush, the noise and stress of modern-day life. Turn everything off….even twitter.
And just be.
My daughter was happy, whatever it was that she thinking about was filling her with happiness. That makes me so very happy.

CubbyKit: A Review
 |
Over the weekend we tested out a CubbyKit. It’s a new service, and the idea is you subscribe to having a box of craft goodies delivered to your door every month for £19.99. I think what it actually delivers is a box full of ideas, so you as a parent haven’t got to do all the research and buying of products. Each box has a theme, and is age appropriate. Either 3-4 or 5-6. and has three craft activities included. Continue Reading
