MOM’S TIPS FOR BETTER TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN – part 3
“Travel with two kids is always necessities, but not always luxuries.“ I try to help my children on long journeys as much as I can. We gave up traveling by bus or car in favor of the train. The main reason – Dorothy, does not tolerate traveling by any other means of transport, only by train she is able to survive for several hours without vomiting. Our last trip to visit grandparents from the Czech Republic to Poland went perfectly. First, our coupe was full of preschool children. Which meant that such a group of kids would definitely not stay calm for long. They played, sang, changed places, and there…

MY NEW LIFE IS PIECE OF CAKE – PART 2
“I open my eyes to a new life, but my mind and heart are full of memories from my old life”. For me, acceptance in a new country seemed like a piece of cake, but reality quickly and painfully kicked me in the butt. As a reminder, I am Polish; I have a Czech husband and two children. I have been living with my family for two years in a new country – the Czech Republic. After two years, I’m still surprised that it’s not any easier for me than it was a year ago. Seen from my kid’s perspective Patrick and Dorothy were born in England – Brighton. Patrick…

DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE SOME GOOD FOR YOURSELF?
“We expect mothers to work like – they don’t have children and we expect mothers to raisechildren as if they don’t work.” I heard an interview with a working mother on the radio. The interviewers asked her about her career path and priorities, and she answered: HER CAREER “A long time ago, I was preparing a list of priorities. As a young employee of the company, I put working for the company first on my list. Over the next years of working in this company, I gained experience and developed my career. I devoted a lot of time to this company and thanks to my perseverance, I was promoted to…

LITTLE HELP FROM LITTLE HANDS
“Children’s good habits will help them in the future.” During my second pregnancy, which was dominated by the feeling of constant fatigue, dizziness, and daily vomiting, I decided to ask my three-year-old son for help with everyday duties. What surprised me at first was that he didn’t make any objections, and even enjoyed it. What he liked the most was vacuuming, he could do that for hours. His second favourite duty was taking out the laundry and hanging it up too. My son had his own little drying rack where he hung his socks and underwear. It helped me a lot because I often get dizzy and vomit when I…

THE SPECIALIST IN CHILDREN’S MORNING DRAMAS – WANTED IMMEDIATELY
“Being a mother is tough mornings with kids you’ve never heard of before.” This post was inspired by stories from short Instagram reels about motherhood. Of course, the funny reels that every parent is familiar with.My daughter’s drama today involved the colour of the plate I served the toast on.Dora is a Paw Patrol fan, and due to my lack of sleep, I put the toast on Spider-Man’s plate. The drama began with crying, screaming, and a general loss of interest in breakfast because she no longer liked toast from any other plate but the Paw Patrol one. This may seem absurd, but for us parents, it’s very common. And…

ONE IMPORTANT THOUGHT FOR TODAY
“To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.” DAY OFF We had a very active weekend. My two children’s birthday and my father-in-law’s 70th birthday. To be honest, after the weekend activities, we were more tired than our children. Which probably comes as no surprise to most parents. My husband decided to take a day off and have a so-called weekend detox. However, I didn’t think that for him the day off was really time from morning to evening without any obligations, efforts, and problems. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/mens-zone-and-their-life-stories/ And for me, Monday is usually two whole days with lots of…

HOW TO KNOW WITHOUT WORDS THAT YOU ARE A MOTHER?
“Woohoo!It’s the weekend!Oh, wait… I’m a mom!“ As usual, after coffee meetings with moms, I came up with the idea for today’s post. Unfortunately or fortunately, it is impossible to hide that a woman became a mother. I don’t care about looks, style, or character here. I mean the usual assortment with which a woman-mom does not part. After a few minor details, we lose the curtain on being women very quickly and introduce Mommy’s face. Starting with simple things: MOMMY’S BAG Like a woman’s bag, you will find everything in this. From tampons, lipsticks, hairbrushes, and mirrors to many lost markers, pens, business cards, and chewing gum. However, being…

TOUGH CHALLENGE FOR A MOTHER WITH A NEW BABY
“The natural state of motherhood is to forget about your needs, but always remember to make your children happy”. Every person who has become a mother assures us that motherhood is a wonderful stage in life. Friends and family who already have children tell us how happy they are. And I confirm, it’s a great period, and children give us a lot of joy. But why doesn’t anyone tell us that motherhood is also a difficult time in life? And just as there are wonderful moments with a child, there are also hard moments with a child. MOMS KEEPING SECRETS New moms are going through a tough challenge with their…

MOTHERHOOD IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND HARDEST PART OF LIFE
“Because of my children, I laugh like a crazy woman, cry like a wimp, and feel love more than ever before.” The above funny quote that starts today’s post is 100% true and is an exact example of me as a mom. Motherhood hasn’t changed me much, but it has shown me a new level of love. Being a new mom with no experience and many questions every day about what to do with a little new creature in my arms was difficult. During my first months with a newborn, I would describe myself as a mom crying like a wimp more than a mom laughing like a crazy woman. …
