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,…

What is a simple summer fan design for little children?
“The greatest happiness of summer days is ice cream and melon”. Sun, summer, ice cream and refreshing summer fruits like watermelons and melons sound perfect – especially for kids. We are once again moving to the creative corner and creating a DIY PAPER HAND FAN with “my little puzzles” in the theme of summer fruits. Everything we need you will find in your locker and it’s completely free. Popsicle sticks we collected from the ice cream when we enjoyed every summer day until today. The red and green paper is in my eldest son’s cupboard and markers, if you have children, you probably have plenty. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/how-do-children-make-airplanes-from-popsicle-sticks/ What little puzzles will…

HOW TO LIVE WITH CHILDREN IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY?
BAD ADVICE AROUND How many times have I heard that my son is crying because he probably has colic, or that he doesn’t want to sleep in the stroller because I’m carrying him in a sling? God, how much of that advice was completely unnecessary, driving me to breakdowns and thoughts like, “Why am I a bad mother?” I always want to share with you, from my own experience, how bad I felt at the beginning of motherhood, because I know, that one of you – a new moms – will read this and feel better. I can’t avoid painful topics or write only about the miracle of motherhood. It…

NEW MOM AND BABY IN PUBLIC PLACES
YOUR CHILD’S BEHAVIOUR Let’s start this entry with the fact that every child is different and not every new mother was stressed like me. For me, going to a cafe or restaurant with Patrick was quite difficult. In the first 10 months with my newborn impossible. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/?s=patrick+sleeping And then, after 10 months and Patrick’s first steps, going to a cafe was always a struggle not to break the dishes, not to fall off the chair, not to knock anything off the table, not to eat the crayon, not to spill the salt, not to put your hand in the hot food, not to spill the coffee. EACH CHILD HAS A…

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…

What Easter Bunny project is best for small children?
“The Easter Bunny job – proves that my children can find chocolates everywhere.” In our village, surrounded by mountains, spring is trying to awaken in March. A few crocuses and snowdrops bloom, but they are still covered with a layer of snow. Daytime temperatures are around 11 degrees, and nighttime temperatures are -2. The weather forecast still predicts snowfall and low temperatures in our region. On winter afternoons like these, I try to keep the kids occupied with something more than watching cartoons, even though I love them myself https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/mommy-and-dark-magic/, so we come up with a creative DIY project, this time for Easter. For my children, Easter is a time…

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…

WHAT GREAT THINGS WILL HAPPEN IN 2026?
“When there is sunshine in my life, I have a wonderful everyday life” I just wrote in my first post of the new year about how difficult it is to plan anything with children. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/new-year-no-challenges-and-satisfaction-guaranteed/ And that’s exactly what happened to me. Posts were piling up, and a few were even created, but nothing was published. What was the main reason? Since 2026, my family and I have been affected by almost every possible version of the virus. Is your sick time also like this: Viruses all around And I must admit, the first such apocalypse wasn’t easy to survive, but we returned to the world of the living. We…

How do children make colorful flowers?
We’re welcoming the New Year – 2026 – still in the cold and snow. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/what-great-things-will-happen-in-2026/ My children, probably like all of us, miss the sun and color. That’s why we’re staying home longer. We’re painting, drawing, and decorating because after two hours outside, our hands get cold. Fortunately, we haven’t run out of ideas or color. We focused on a spring motif – a bouquet of blooming flowers. In just a few moments, we created simple paper flowers from materials you already have at home. They’re very easy to make and make great gifts for many upcoming occasions. You can use them for a project for your mom or another…

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…
