The one about how a week turns into a month turns into … well, you get the idea

A couple of months back I made a huge deal about how you should stay tuned, my blog was coming back … and how this year was going to be AWESOME because I was 40 and everything was under control.

And then… Life happened.

My girls started school, I started working, and all of a sudden life was lost under a massive cloak of ‘OH MY GOD I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR SLEEP LET ALONE A BLOG!’ … and so I kind of let things lapse.

The one about celebrating 3 …

Dear  Monsters,

Today you are 3.  It’s not been an easy road to get you this far,  fate tried to take you from us early on.  You’re tough cookies though, and you fought and showed your courage from the start.

I can’t tell you life is going to be easier now you’re 3.  You’ve come so far in the past 3 years, but you still have a long way to  go with catching up to your peers. I know you’ll do it, but no matter what, I’m going to pick you up when you fall, and turn you in the right direction  when you’re lost.

3 is tough. You guys think you’re big girls now, and I still call you my babies.  You are my babies though, and you always will be.  I won’t forget holding your tiny hands inside the incubators, or  that first precious cuddle we had after you were born.  Even though you’re big girls now, I’ll still try to cuddle both of you at the same time like used to.  Just don’t wriggle too much.

The road ahead is unsure, monsters.  We don’t know what the future holds for you, for us, for anyone.  You can be sure that I’m going to be  with you on that road,  making sure that we clear any obstacles together.  We’re a good team, you monsters and me.   We fight together,  and we  charge through life  like bulldozers.  We’re a little crazy, but when you’ve been down our road, crazy helps us stay happy and healthy.

 So here’s to you, my crazy, happy, healthy little monsters.  3 years has flown by, I can’t wait to see you enter your 4th year in the same way you approach life – with enthusiasm, love and a touch of craziness. xx

Love,

Mama.

The one about the poo cookies…

That’s right folks – I feel like it’s time to reveal my top secret, tried and true recipe for Poo Cookies.  You may think that these are just some ordinary oatmeal and fruit cookies – but you’d be wrong.  They’re high in fibre, they’re tasty, and they’re toddler approved. They also *might* help those little cherubs out there who have a problem with constipation. I’m not going to claim that they will magically make your child constipation free – but they are yummy and they do have a super high fibre content. Continue reading “The one about the poo cookies…”
