The children are NOT the help. Kids should PLAY not WORK. Schoolwork is plenty enough. Chores are not difficult to learn anyone can in MINUTES. Its not the child's role to contribute to the family.Th.

Did I mention that it was also delicious, and that Milo loved it (and so did I)?<br /><br />For what it's worth, every reputable source of information I can find seems to recommend delaying the introduction of high-sugar foods for as long as possible. That seems like very logical advice to me, and we're not finding it at all difficult at the moment to maintain.rosscovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15598587843069397518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033135461894105155.post-18572883210694658242014-01-21T22:09:56.536+11:002014-01-21T22:09:56.536+11:00...because nothing says 'special treat' li......because nothing says 'special treat' like...something you always get?<br />I was in the 'no sugar for my baby!' camp, but soon realised that it'll just make life impossible when it finally does start having it at age 2,3, other kids' parties, etc, and will crash terribly due to being so oversensitive to it. <br />Better to give occasional sugar as a real treat- baby is just fine, and still prefers her plain food, and yoghurt with fruit rather than honey, and happily eats sour things as much as the occasional sweet. :)Manuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590137059245930934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033135461894105155.post-31597736626388633602014-01-21T19:23:37.363+11:002014-01-21T19:23:37.363+11:00I've told you Susan, call it a "loaf"...I've told you Susan, call it a "loaf" and it was delicious!

The years when your children are at home fulltime (aside from a little bit of kinder) with us, well they're the hardest but definitely the best years. Ella's going into grade 5 this year and can I tell you Susan, I still dread the holidays ending. I love having my chicks with me every day. Sure they drive me mad at times (and I'm sure them) but I love nothing more than us being together. Yes, they will be fine, yes you will be too, but you're quite right, it won't be the same again x.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576666721273174380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033135461894105155.post-75030067744452489612013-11-01T11:10:37.224+11:002013-11-01T11:10:37.224+11:00Haha, that's great- no-one was forced to go ou...Haha, that's great- no-one was forced to go out and buy overpriced Hallowe'en-themed lollies, and the kids still thought it was fantastic. :-)<br />I found a website last year that had a good idea for neighbourhoods wanting to trick or treat- do a letterdrop at the neighbours you plan to visit, and if they like the idea of joining in they can put the included balloon or streamers on their mailbox to show the kids that it's okay to approach and get lollies. If they'd rather be left alone, they'll do nothing. <br />That way no-one feels obliged, and neighbours are happy. :)<br /><br />PS- love the whipped-up costumes there. Reminds me of things my mum used to make us for school plays- find old clothes and make-up around the house, and hey presto, a costume. No need to go overboard. :)Manuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590137059245930934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033135461894105155.post-24690577717512425112013-10-31T08:12:43.951+11:002013-10-31T08:12:43.951+11:00That's a great idea giving them a run outside!...That's a great idea giving them a run outside! It reminds me of the guinea pigs we had when we were young: there was always one bossy, larger one that bullied the smaller one and hogged the food. Actually my cats are like that now too: Tiger is the alpha male and I have to be careful to give them small amounts of food at a time and often watch them eat to make sure Hermione actually gets to eat her food.klindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00937713045247418578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033135461894105155.post-8444797763416951052013-10-26T09:28:49.538+11:002013-10-26T09:28:49.538+11:00You're a good mama, that's a great idea an...You're a good mama, that's a great idea and fun! The range of understanding for children is so broad too, the pace of learning so different. My youngest is finishing prep and my dear friend's eldest child is in her class, her first experience of school. My Leila is a fantastic reader, it's huge in our house, her daughter is equally enthusiastic, has no remedial issues, yet is still very low on her reading testing. She was asking me about Leila's level and as I said to her, honestly, it's like comparing one child being better at football than another, you shouldn't compare, because it all comes to them in the end. Competition between peers, I know as adults they think it's a good thing, but when they're so little, I just want them to enjoy and learn and not feel it's a competition. We certainly have some puce and chartreuse parents too!<br /> Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576666721273174380noreply@blogger.com
