NEW YEAR! WILL MY KIDS AND I ACHIEVE OUR GOALS AGAIN?
How do you feel in the New Year? Are there any resolutions, prohibitions, or goals? Do you want to change anything from the old year? Did everything go smoothly and will we carry over the same goals to the New Year? New Year in the Life of Parents From a parent’s perspective, sometimes it was uphill, sometimes downhill. There were waves of successes, but also waves of parenting failures. Of course, parents most often think about their children, not about themselves. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/a-voice-from-the-heart-to-all-parents/ Throughout the last year, I have wondered what I am doing right and, more often, what I am doing wrong. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/ordinary-mornings-by-boss-baby/ With children every day brings surprises. As…

WHEN PARENTS KNOW WHAT’S BEST FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
“Children are as independent as you expect them to be.” – Maria Montessori – Do you really want to take away your children’s independence? Why do you put your needs equal to your child’s? Not allow your children to develop according to their own choices? I could ask a few more questions here, but I’m going to describe a situation. A few days ago I participated in an action called: “Joint Creation by the Christmas Tree for Children 3-5”. This is not the first time I have seen rivalry between parents, which influences children’s behavior in such situations. I suspect that the teachers have long known how such joint creation…

What Christmas decorations do children make from rolls of paper?
“It doesn’t matter what your home looks like on Christmas, it matters who is around.” We’re back in the creative corner with our favorite recycled material for crafts – paper rolls. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/what-halloween-projects-do-my-children-create/ We have the approaching winter and the abundance of Christmas decorations catches the eye in every store. The DIY project of my puzzle will be about characters related to Christmas. Dorothy will create Santa and Grinch, and Patrick choose Snowman and Reindeer. The magic of Christmas is bigger and more pleasant when we have time for each other and my family is together. The process of making Christmas characters from rolls of toilet paper is very simple even for…

HOW EASILY IS IT TO HURT A NEW MOM?
Oh, newborn! You can laugh and cry with them as much as you want”. NEW MOM’S SCARS Recently I watched the struggles of one of our neighbors, who gave birth maybe a week ago. Exhausted, with a crying baby in her arms, she couldn’t get into the elevator with a stroller. I could see in her eyes that it took her a second to feel defeated and broken. That’s when my son and I started reacting quickly. Patrick held the doors, I adjusted the shopping bags under the stroller, which made it difficult to get into the elevator. And together we helped the new mother at least a little. Then,…

WHY DOES FALL TIME CALM ME AND MY FAMILY?
“AUTUMN, THE SEASON THAT TEACHES US THAT CHANGE CAN BE BEAUTIFUL” – Patti Fagan – AUTUMN FEELINGS I like the beginning of autumn and the smell of leaves, acorns, chestnuts, and mulled wine. I know it gets dark earlier and we wake up without the sun, but I still feel some kind of peace and warmth. I spend more time with my children, friends, and family at home. With hot cocoa or tea with honey, I have time to watch my children play, paint, build with Lego, and create beautiful views with puzzles. And I feel so good that I finally have time for this sense of harmony, and peace.…

DO YOU WANT TO HEAR A FAIRY TALE ABOUT BEING NEW MOM?
IT’S OKAY IF ALL YOU DID TODAY WAS SURVIVE! It’s been a long time since I wrote about the beginnings of motherhood, newborns, stages of pregnancy and childbirth. There was no opportunity to discuss such topics. My children are no longer newborns, and 7 years of being a mother brings with it more stories worth writing about. Recently, however, a woman in the final stages of pregnancy appeared in my circle of friends. And the typical questions for a future mother began. Is breastfeeding painful? And now in this post, I will present my opinion and only from my own experience. The rest of the replies and comments came from…

WHAT ARE THE BEST MY CHILDREN INHERITED FROM THEIR PARENTS?
Of course, like every parent, we would like our children to suck the best from their mother’s milk and hope that the worst will be lost somewhere during growing up. What a terrible lie. Then, parenting would be uncomplicated and untiring only with the wonderful character traits of our children. There would be no ups and downs, no dramas and joys. Nothing that would be remembered for years. There must be a little bit of what is good and a little bit of what is not so good, taken from parents and that’s how it is with us. Melted heart One day, for example, I’m picking up Dora from Nursery…

HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU CHANGE YOUR FOOD CHOICES?
“I’ll eat you under the table!” – I whisper to my chocolate bar,hidden from the children. YOU ARE NOT A PARENT YET All types of meals are allowed, all delicacies that make you happy. My private, lovely idea is to combine unhealthy food with spicy dip and olives to make my evening unforgettable. I was delighted that I could happily eat in peace and quiet. No one chokes, splits, no one plays with food. No one argues that this is not what they want.There are no dramas because I cut the sausage into small pieces, but today, my child wanted the whole thing. Last week my son loved peas and…

How small children create a parrot hatching from an egg?
“Creativity starts in your children when they are little and stays with them for a lifetime” Gray and gloomy outside the window, we enter the colorful world of “my little puzzles” designs. Patrick brought a creative idea for today’s play from school. At school, they had to create a chicken hatching from an egg. In our creation, we replaced the chicken with a parrot. However, it would be best if you asked the children what they would like to choose as an animal for this project. It could be a dinosaur or maybe a squirrel. maybe you simply already have a favorite character that your child would like to choose,…

CHANGES ARE PAINFUL, BUT WE NEED THEM.
It will be a story about me and some drastic changes in my life caused by my previous job. I don’t know why, I felt very bad when I lost my job six months ago? It wasn’t the first time I ended my career in one job and started a new one, but it was the first time it ended in such an unfair way. Despite my best efforts, I couldn’t stay in this company.I blamed myself if I really did my best at work and actually was a “troublemaker”, as my former boss summed me up at the end. BOSS, RULER, SADIST Never before in my work have I…
