WHY DO MOMS THINK THAT RUNNING ON PLAYGROUNDS IS FORBIDDEN?
Do you know the words overprotection, isolation, and oversensitivity? In this post, we will read a little about it. As a mother, I have a strange feeling lately that the number of parents who have their own ideal world with their child has increased. They try to spread the rules of this world to all the playgrounds around them.From a distance, you can see their overprotection and disgust for other children playing. What’s more, their toddler doesn’t let himself be isolated and most often escapes into crowds of other happy toddlers, but the parent does not see satisfaction in this, only disgust. Quickly takes the child to a safe and…

WHERE DO MOMS GET ENERGY TO SUCCEED THROUGHOUT THE DAY?
“Mom energy – comes from caffeine mixed with sticky kisses.” MOMMYS ARE ENERGY MONSTERS I remember going to the Nursery with a pram, little Dora in it, and Patrick on the stroller stand. There was also a scooter or a bike hanging on the buggy. I pushed that weight uphill – unfortunately – because that’s where the Nursery was. Without any effort, without a drop of sweat, or out of breath. When I think about it, I tell myself that I was strong, I had so much energy, I wouldn’t do it now. And you know what I think, I’m lying to myself, of course I would, all mothers would…

IS IT EASIER WITH CHILDREN OVER 3 YEARS OLD?
“When you hear all day that everyone is doing something better than you, and in the evening you’re the one they call to give them a goodnight kiss.” Last weekend, I thought: Is life easier for parents with children over 3 years old? There will be as many answers as there are parents. From my perspective, as a mother of two children (my daughter is 5, and my son is 8), I can honestly say that this stage of childhood is not as difficult for me as it was when my children were less than 3 years old. Of course, there are other situations, ideas, and problems of older children,…

HOW A MOTHER’S MIND WORKS VS A CHILD’S MIND?
“I don’t have a baby brain, that’s a ridiculous myth. Now please bring me the box of cereal I put in the fridge.” THE MYSTERY OF MOM’S LACK OF MEMORY Unfortunately, my mind, my baby brain, is annoying me terribly. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/being-a-new-mom-doesnt-mean-being-the-best/I leave the kitchen to get something for the bathroom and come back empty-handed. I have 3 things to buy, literally 3, and I will buy five, of which the three most important ones I will forget two. All my visits, not the pleasant ones, but the mandatory ones that take place several times a year, such as visits to the dentist, hygienist, hairdresser, beautician, have to be written down…

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…

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 PARENTS KNOW ABOUT KIDS FANCY OUTFIT?
Why not wear two different socks, shoes, or gloves? My older son used to dress like this a lot, but it quickly went out of fashion. However, our daughter surpassed him in terms of outfit choices. The basics of clothing – it’s best to take everything from the older brother. A Superman costume can be for any day. It’s a pity that cycling gloves and Crocs suit her best all year round. I have very happy mornings when in the evening my daughter is preparing clothes for tomorrow. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/the-specialist-in-childrens-morning-dramas-wanted-immediately/ What clothes will she choose? It doesn’t really matter, what matters is that she finished with a morning drama.If we were…

IS THERE A SMOOTH WAY TO GET KIDS OUT OF THE HOUSE?
I recently heard from my friend that she rushed her daughter to leave preschool because Lilly was having painting courses in 10m minutes. And when the fifth time she refused to wear her shoes, my friend gave up, and Lily went outside without. As a mother of two small children (4 and 7 years old), I experience this type of trauma very often. I would be happier if the parents around me didn’t hide their real, everyday experiences with their children. Advice for parents contained in the books did not differ from the realities of parenting. In real life, every morning looks like this: EXIT TIME – before having children…
