We're back. Not much luck with beach-weather, but it was still nice. Different air and moods. And the food! S is a wonderful cook, creating anything from nothing. It's always a treat for all senses to travel up there. Driving back was hard though, from 11am to 18.30 pm being on our way. I'll have to hurry up and do my licence! :)

It's time!

My little tomato-plants are growing fast, except: this little pepper takes it slow, there's basil, salads and maybe soon it'll be time to try out some carrots and radish? Here's a link for some advice, when it's your first time gardening on your windowsill. (it's not too late!)

My neighbours, who are also our friends from long ago, lent me a book a while ago, like 6 months?, further, i wasn't reading it until recently, when i had to return it, so typical!. And had to buy it online the next day. It's "Peaceful parent, happy kids". There was a time i read a lot and it also helped a lot, since it almost feels like a conversation with someone, who understands your situation and has a genlte way on offering advice. My belle-mère must be wonderwomen, raising 4 kids, who are only bit more than a year apart. Truly fascinating! 

The feeling having had a good day with the kids is on my top list as i experienced it on Monday, when I had to skip Uni. It made me think, if i wasn't a bit too greedy starting to participate in a seminar, for what i barely manage to read the material, since it requires some real concentration. It isn't any fun that way, turning up having read it diagonal. There's definitely good stress and bad stress. But which is which? Spring is a busy time for Martin too and we don't really have a babysitter. So. I don't know. What would you do?


Everything considered:

Why not start off the week with some funny mv (: Enjoy!

How last week-end looked like. And it was a good week with lots of plans and being outside. Above is a picture of a mezereon, a very poisonous plant. That's the thing with the outdoor kindergarten, you need people,who know plants and stuff, not only children. There are rules outside too and keeping those promises can be a serious matter. If that's settled, then there's no doubt about it, that kids love to be outside. A leave, a stick, a cone becomes a toy for a day. 

Yeah. 

So. Spring is the time to be motivated and get active. Playing sports outside, starting crafty projects and projects, getting exited with new ideas - the days get longer and longer. If something doesn't work out, don't worry, that happens. And it's okay to feel down about it. It'll come around again. 

Communication has never been as easy as now, but still it's something in what we'll sometimes fail. Talking. Listening. Considering. Taking action. Taking criticism. Receiving advice. Being left out. 

Is there someone who hasn't had a tough time managing these?
