SUMMER WITH KIDS IS THE CRAZIEST TIME FOR PARENTS
Autumn days with children I remember a post in which I wrote about why I feel so good on autumn days. I finally have time for this sense of harmony and peace. I described how the children play alone at home and invent games together. I feel that the fall season calms us down, and above all, that time passes more slowly on autumn days. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/why-does-fall-time-calm-me-and-my-family/ Summer days with children And suddenly, summer has arrived!!! The end of the school year, and I have no time for anything. The kids are still waiting for days full of attractions: swimming pools, ice cream, water parks. Every weekend there are festivals, concerts,…

SKIPPING ROPE IN MY FAMILY LIFE
“A life without ups and downs is like a year without spring”. In March, when the weather changes—getting colder, warmer, lighter, darker—that’s how I could describe the current period of my life. Let’s get straight to the positive experiences of this week and skip the bad moments from previous posts. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/what-great-things-will-happen-in-2026/ First and foremost, half of my family celebrates their birthdays in March, some less, some more, but we’re all still together, and that’s the most precious thing in life. Family and friends are all around us. The greatest influence on how smoothly my children’s early life in a foreign country went was exerted by their friends – the smallest…

SPRING AWAKENING OF THE MOTHER-BLOGGER
“I CAN DO IT ALL” Those who have been reading my posts with a sense of satisfaction and devoting their precious time to them for years, months, or weeks can probably sense from the emotions in my posts when things are easier and when they are harder. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/my-readers-changed-my-daily-life-for-the-better/ As the saying goes, life isn’t a bed of roses, but it’s still worth living. Ups and downs The new year continues to throw up more and more obstacles under my feet, waiting for me to break down and give up. I feel like a buried pile of rocks from which I dig myself out each morning. It’s simply impossible to function…

EXPECTATIONS VERSUS REALITY OF A NEW MOM
“Behind every smile, there’s a mother who has cried in silence, feeling the weight of the world on her shoulders”. In this post, I wanted to reach out to NEW MOM who are bravely experiencing their first days at home with their little ones this holiday season. My heart and soul are with you. I know how difficult it is for you to move around with your baby at your breast. I know your stitches hurt, and you sleep less than two hours. It will all pass. I don’t know if the beginnings of motherhood were idyllic for any of you, but for me, they weren’t. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/nobody-asked-me/ I remember how…

IMPROVE YOUR LIFE, HAVE A CHILD, MAYBE EVEN TWO
“We are changing our lives for children who don’t care” As you may know from my previous posts, they are all laced with sarcasm and reflect the reality of the events. I don’t make things up; I write based on my own experiences, I don’t slander anyone, and I don’t use aggressive comments. All the stories described are intended to evoke positive emotions in you, and above all, laughter.Therefore, the following post is true, but written with a great sense of humor. It was created after I heard the words from loved ones: “You wanted to have a child, so don’t complain.” How has my life improved since having children?…

MY LIFE WITH CHILDREN IS FULL OF SURPRISES
“The best thing about family life is that every day is full of surprises, half of which are sweet and tasty and the other half bitter and real” I get in the car and turn on the radio: “Oh, what wonderful music!” Thoughts race through my head: What favorite movie, a nice get-together with friends, or a family party do I recognize this melody from? And then my brain remembers – of course, from the cartoons I’ve been watching since becoming a mom. What’s your favorite movie? Forget it, woman, you’re a mother. In the evening, when the kids are asleep, even if I put on my favorite movie, I…

DIFFERENT WAYS TO SPEND WEEKEND AS A PARENT
“Your kids don’t know what a weekend is. But neither do you, because you’re a parent.” Breakfast serving and cleaning assistant A weekend for me shouldn’t be called a weekend, but a part-time job, and I don’t mean my actual part-time job as a blogger. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/how-to-know-without-words-that-you-are-a-mother/ My weekend started with waking up around 7:30 because the kids wanted breakfast. And that was the least of my responsibilities. In the living room, there was still a blanket construction site, a house half of which belonged to Dorothy and the other half to Patrick. Patrick also had drills and all the necessary tools on his side, and on Dorothy’s side, the entire…

VALUABLE TIME FOR PARENTS
“Everyone should have the right to holidays, both those with children and those without children”. Holiday! It’s such a lovely time. They always fly by, but the memories remain. For me, these memories make it easier to collaborate and calm my emotions at work. I can’t imagine not having a longer break from work to return relaxed and energized. In my family, we spend a week of vacation with the kids and four or five nights alone. I’ve heard mixed reviews from various parents. Some people say leaving children alone on vacation is uncool. While others say they practice it and consider it essential for parents. To me, it’s the…

WHERE DO MOMS GET ENERGY TO SUCCEED THROUGHOUT THE DAY?
“Mom energy – comes from caffeine mixed with sticky kisses.” MOMMYS ARE ENERGY MONSTERS I remember going to the Nursery with a pram, little Dora in it, and Patrick on the stroller stand. There was also a scooter or a balance bike hanging on the buggy. I pushed that weight uphill – unfortunately – because that’s where the Nursery was. Without any effort, without a drop of sweat, or out of breath. When I think about it, I tell myself that I was strong, I had so much energy, I wouldn’t do it now. And you know what I think? I’m lying to myself, of course I would; all mothers…

HOW A MOTHER’S MIND WORKS VS A CHILD’S MIND?
“I don’t have a baby brain, that’s a ridiculous myth. Now please bring me the box of cereal I put in the fridge.” THE MYSTERY OF MOM’S LACK OF MEMORY Unfortunately, my mind, my baby brain, is annoying me terribly. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/being-a-new-mom-doesnt-mean-being-the-best/I leave the kitchen to get something for the bathroom and come back empty-handed. I have 3 things to buy, literally 3, and I will buy five, of which the three most important ones I will forget two. All my visits, not the pleasant ones, but the mandatory ones that take place several times a year, such as visits to the dentist, hygienist, hairdresser, beautician, have to be written down…
