PS is it any wonder Frog has been impeccable of late..? I refer you to a previous ‘brownie bigger than her head’ pic… I’d be more than happy with my little lot for quite some time if given that to work my way through :-)

Stay awesome Molly, you’re an inspiration even to someone like me without little ones xxx

I try to write about the challenges I experience of being a parent so it’s about me rather than the children being wrong. I also am ever an optimist so tend to focus on the positive, but you can get bored quickly of writing ‘life is so great’ can’t you? Not to mention readers getting sick of you :)

It is so hard to find a middle ground. it is either going swimmingly or dreadfully hard!

Thank you.

Thank you for bringing the funny when I am feeling grumpy and for making me laugh when I am sad. Thank you for your ability to sink wine in true friend style and your shared love of Kettle Chips.

Thank you for not taking yourself too seriously and for reminding me to do the same. Thank you for your organisational skills – and for sharing those skills with me (or, rather, using them on my behalf).

Thank you for writing a lovely blog that makes me smile and for not taking that too seriously either.

Thank you for being you – and for making the colours of life that bit brighter.

Love from,

Molly x

I think it is really difficult to walk the line of being a ‘my child is amazing and never does a thing wrong’ and a ‘my child was sent to test me’ parent. I read Merrys post too and it is true that we do need to stop and think sometimes that they will not always be with us.
