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. …

A SMOOTH MORNING WITH CHILDREN
„Morning with the kids was going well until I served for breakfast oatmeal in bowls without a picture of the Paw Patrol”. Mornings for parents are half marathons. My children: Patrick – 5 years old and Dorothy – 2 years old, continue the tactic to throw me off balance with innocent morning behavior as soon as possible. What my children have in the morning is: The best part is that every morning, whether it was a tearful morning or a happy morning, my children erase it from their memory very quickly. Unlike me, morning experiences with my children stay in my head all day. So, I found some helpful tips that work…

MY CHILDREN’S SLEEPING ROUTINE – IT’S A F**** JOKE
“YOU AND YOUR CHILD ARE READY TO LEARN NEW THINGS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING” I’m not among new parents and new moms anymore, but I try to write posts about parenting roles in a way that will make you laugh and give you a realistic representation of parental life. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/with-the-witchs-advice-my-coffee-never-tastes-the-same/ I add posts about hardships and emotions with newborns. I hope they will be an educational form for you. The main episodes come from my own sincere parenting experiences. I affirm there are no basic rules for new moms and newborns. Theoretically, it may be, but this method doesn’t exist in practice. As a new mother, I was addicted to…

BEING A NEW MOM DOESN’T MEAN BEING THE BEST
“The day your baby is born is the day your life changes, and it’s up to you what changes you make.” In this post, I will go back far in my memories, to the first birth of my baby. It was 5 years ago when Patrick was born. We lived in England at the time, but this post is not about the country and place, but the hard search for mother-mates. And it can be funny that I thought it wouldn’t be a problem because I became a mom at the same time as my best friends. But that was the biggest problem – mom’s brain – that’s it. Why all my…

DOROTHY – MY SPECIAL GIFT
“The struggle was part of my journey.” Dorothy means God’s gift. It is the name we chose for our daughter. You could say that making a baby is a minor matter, nothing difficult. 6 months of trial and boom, my brother’s wife is pregnant. All the women around at once, all pregnant too. And I had 4 years of trials and a wonderful time with my husband, and nothing. Also, I gave up most family events because their questions were killing me: “What about you, don’t you want a baby?” “Aren’t you trying?” “How old are you?” – This one is my the best. “Don’t you take a vacation? It…

NOBODY ASKED ME
“OF ALL THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN, THE GREATEST IS TO BE A MOTHER”. – LIN YUTANG – With my first child, I started maternity leave in February, one month before the birth. Since I was feeling great physically and mentally, I reverted to my phobia of reading a dozen books. After collecting about 20 recommended books for mothers, I gave up reading the rest. The main reasons for stopping reading were the same stories about the baby’s sleeping routine, the same rules about breastfeeding, the newborn baby’s first stages, and other dry facts of motherhood that were repeated. When I lost all hope for an interesting book, I found a…

NEW SLEEPING ROUTINE BY PATRICK
“SAY HELLO TO NEWBORN AND GOODBYE TO YOUR PILLOW”. I AM IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND AT THE RIGHT TIME Hi, my name is Patrick. I haven’t slept a single night for the first three years of my life. My causes are not colic or teeth (the first ones fell out only after 10 months, very late, but also painlessly). I just didn’t sleep for no reason. I also didn’t like naps during the day. When I was one year old, I stopped sleeping in the Nursery, as the only one in the group. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/where-do-moms-get-energy-to-succeed-throughout-the-day/ In the first weeks of my life, I pooped a lot often, after almost every…

MOMMY AND DARK MAGIC
“YOU NEVER REALIZE WHAT YOUR MAGICAL POWERS ARE UNTIL YOU HAVE CHILDREN” I am a huge fan of fairy tales, I was before my children were born. The best one with a moral ending and with the significant sentence “they lived happily ever after”. What is the reason? Probably that my day in childhood ended with one bedtime story on tv, and that’s it, night, night. After my childhood experiences, I’m catching up by watching cartoons with children. And above all due to the fantastic quality of current fairy tales, the emotions that accompany me while watching them, are certainly greater than the emotions of my child. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/my-new-face/ Which are my…
