  • The more risks you allow children to take, the better they learn to take care of themselves ~ Roald Dahl ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In my almost 13 years of being a mom; I have probably been judged for allowing my kids to be risky. My own mother raises her eyebrows as my kids always sport a blue mark on the leg or a scratch here and there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A few weeks ago Mika went ziplining at a park we discovered and knocked her head on the same spot she received stitches for a slip and fall accident when she was 4. It was unforeseen and if we'd known about the zipline we would've packed in helmets. Thank goodness we had a ice pack in the cooler bag. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As a parent I will never intentionally expose my kids to dangerous situations but I can't always protect them from getting hurt. They will slip, fall, get bruised and end up with skinned knees. Link into my bio for my blog post on this topic. @mommalikeme I was thinking of you and what happened to your daughter - really hope she is doing better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #kids #kidsforreal #magicofchildhood #magicofchildhood #letthemexplore #letthembelittle #littleandbrave #candidchildhood #seekadventure #risk #love #loveauthentic #thatauthenticfeeling #happiness #thesugarjar #petitejoys #livethelittlethings #our_everyday_moments #documentinglife #mom #momlife #honestmotherhood #camera_mama #momswithcameras #blogger #bloggerlife #momblogger #lifestyleblogger #momblog #sablogger

  • Does your kids love playing with slime?The craze has not left my house and my kids are still slime obsessed. The Crystal Creatures are perfect as it is a range of buildable creatures with gooey slime. They received 5 shimmering crystals to build their very own creatures. Inside there are 5 fantastical, dazzling and enchanted creatures to collect with slime. They built Aquagem and Rosestone so far and can't wait to open up the other crystals. The creatures can be placed inside or on top of the crystal egg and are suitable for kids age 5 and up.#crystalcreaturessa #gift #kids #kidsforreal #coolkids #magicofchildhood #childhoodunplugged #exploretocreate #letthemexplore #letthembelittle #candidchildhood #love #thatauthenticfeeling #happiness #thesugarjar #petitejoys #livethelittlethings #our_everyday_moments #mom #momlife #honestmotherhood #camera_mama #momswithcameras #blogger #bloggerlife #momblogger #lifestyleblogger #momblog #sablogger #samomblogger
  • My heart in a photograph. These three are my greatest blessing and biggest supporters. Although I almost killed them with my extra spicy curry last night. Which saw them gasping for breath as their mouths were on fire. I can tolerate heat but it was evident that my hand was a bit heavy on the chilli. Needless to say, I was surprised to see them eating it and leaving empty plates behind. Now that is what I call LOVE. Afterwards they almost finished a tub of ice cream to bring some relief. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In other news; Mika is doing much better health wise - thank you for all your kind messages. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #family #familygoals #husband #kids #kidsforreal #qualitytime #love #loveauthentic #loveintentionally #theartofslowliving #thehappynow #reclaimthehappy #humansofjoy #feelfreefeed #darlingmovement #thatsdarling #petitejoys #ourcandidlife #documentinglife #littlestoriesofmylife #parents #mom #honestmotherhood #momshare #blogger #bloggerlife #momblogger #lifestyleblogger #sablogger #samomblogger

  • I am entitled to take 4 days paid family responsibility leave annually. Hubs and I do a trade off on who will stay at home when one of the kids are sick. Splitting the duty between us makes it easier as he gets 5 days FR leave annually an an additional 5 days compassionate leave. Every year I will forfeit 1 or 2 days as I wouldn't use it all. This year has been an exception as I already took 2 days when my dad passed away. Leaving me with 2 of which I took 1 yesterday as Mika is sick. Those few days per annum are not reasonably enough but it is what it is. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I usually make a judgement call when my children are sick enough to take them to the doctor or whether it is just the sniffles and we can self medicate and still let them go to school. But when my child has a fever that spikes every hour, complains that her head is pounding, her lungs are hurting when she coughs and can barely lift her head from the pillow - there is no way that I can send her to school. I immediately send a text message to my line manager informing her I won't be in as my child is sick. That is it - no explicit details and photographs. Do I feel guilty for staying home with my sick child knowing that I have deadlines to meet and bearing in mind that it is the Monday just after the long weekend? Not at all; agonising over work is the last thing on my mind and I could care less what my colleagues think. I don't check work emails or answer any work calls - that text message was the last form of communication. Because at that very moment my child needs me and my attention needs to be directed towards her. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Working moms and dads how do you feel when you take time off from work to care for your sick child? Do you feel bad about it, work from home to put in the hours and do you constantly send your boss or colleagues an update on your child's health?#kids #magicofchildhood #kidsforreal #childhoodunplugged #littleandbrave #thankful #grateful #reallife #feelfreefeed #liveauthentic #livethelittlethings #thatauthenticfeeling #reclaimingthehappy #documentinglife #littlestoriesofmylife #petitejoys #parenthood_unveiled #mom #workingmom #honestlyparents #honestmotherhood #momshare
