NEW YEAR! NO CHALLENGES AND SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
“As a parent, be prepared for situations when you ask your child: Why is he naked and he replies: I’m wearing socks”. Like last year, I don’t make any summaries or plans for next year. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/new-year-will-my-kids-and-i-achieve-our-goals-again/ With kids, it’s like a constant rollercoaster: you plan a vacation, but my kids, the day before, wake up with a fever, or any different bug hits them during the night. I’m happy with what each day, each moment brings. Things are going well for both my husband and me at work; we’ve managed to fit our hours around our children’s schedules. Sometimes we lack time for ourselves, and the entire week revolves around…

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…

ANY NEWS FROM LIFE WITH TWO CHILDREN?
“Children are like ice cream. They’re messy, melty, brain-freezing, but you can’t get enough of them.” DINNER Dinners are still not good. Throughout the year, I once heard from the children that I had finally managed to make a good dish, it was pasta in mushroom sauce. This year, I didn’t make this dish for the first time, but I think my son was in a good mood, and that’s why I accepted the praise. Generally speaking, for my children, the best dish is the pasta itself – without the sauce, which they usually call “awful slime”. The tomato soup they ate at Grandma’s over the weekend was amazing and…

FREE FEET CARRY ME TO HAPPINESS
A few questions appeared after the last post: “The charms of my childhood”. (https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/the-charms-of-my-childhood/) . And here we go, below I answer the most important ones: First question “Are you not afraid that a child running around without shoes may be at risk of being bitten by an insect?” “Yes and No”. I try to look back and remember my childhood, how many times I ran without shoes, and how many times I was bitten by ants, stung by nettles, and hurt by sharp stones, and I still feel the joy of running without shoes. My only fear is that my child will suffer because, like any mother, you would…

MEN’S ZONE AND THEIR LIFE STORIES
“Dad: He’s less dramatic than Mom, but harder to find him when we want something.” A few days ago, I started thinking about sharing my perspective on life with my partner, the father of my children, and the other side of parenthood on my blog. As the days passed, the thought faded away, amidst other topics. But one day, a small conversation appears: “Did you check my last post?“ “Why? Is something about me.” Since it was not the first time I heard this response from my husband, and it was not the first time that he irritated me with this comment, I said: “You ask again why I am…

I PRESENT MYSELF, MY LIFE, AND MY PROJECT
“FIRST – TRY, SECOND – BELIEVE, THIRD – DREAM, FORTH – DARE, FINALLY – COME TRUE” The title sounds like I’m trying to introduce myself today and say a few words about myself. It’s the truth. If you are asking: Why am I doing this initiative now? Why not in the first posts? The answer is simple. I was not at the right stage of self-satisfaction, and self-development and I didn’t have strong skills to write about myself in a way that would not bore you. I want to again come back to the topic of strong women. But I’m not talking about physical strength, today it’s going to be…

ORDINARY MORNINGS BY BOSS BABY
“PARENTHOOD- the scariest hood you will ever go through”. 6 a.m., and the sound of small feet is coming. This is my teeny weeny private alarm clock. Never ever later, not on the weekend, why? A day like any other for my children. Mornings with 6:30 it’s a huge surprise, but if you complain too much, the next day at 5:30. Rules are rules. Especially if the boss baby made it. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/my-childrens-sleeping-routine-its-a-f-joke/ Let’s get started! I decided that I would like to share with you my “ordinary mornings” story. And for a better and clearer presentation, I made a shortlist with general and unbreakable rules. RULE NO 1 THE COFFEE…

MORE THAN BEAUTY
“Put yourself on the top of your to-do lists.” One of my friends is a professional beautician, and first of all, you know the saying, “Don’t bring work home with you?”That phrase never works on her. Secondly, and worse, from the moment she steps into my house, she becomes an X-ray- face scanning robot: “How often do you use enzyme peeling?” “Hi, how are you Jess? Nice to see you too.” “Yes, yes, hello, and how does the peeling I gave you suit you?” I’m really bad at cheating, so I continued without answering: “Would you like coffee or tea?” “Chamomile tea, please. Did you know that caffeine causes dark…
