Time goes by so quickly! It's a long time since I've attempted to post on here.
I have been rather busy...but Ruby is now one, believe it or not, and I feel I need to do something with all these words going round in my head....now she doesn't need me quite so much!
It's been quite a tough year, as most with babies and young children will identify with.
Luke is now four and started "Big School" in September. He is a whirlwind of energy and emotions at the moment, dealing with new situations and challenges daily. I have worried about him and how he will cope. I can see him in the playground from Amy's bedroom window, lovely when he is running round with all his little friends. Worry some when he is not!!
I needn't have despaired quite as much!!
Bless him!!!
Our little free spirit Amy has just turned four. She is a wild, stubborn force of nature who has me locked in a battle of wills on an hourly basis!!!
My relationship with her has been very challenging in this year. No longer baby of the family, she has struggled to find her place and I have probably over compensated with far too many toys as I haven't quite known how to 'be' with her. I feel like we are finally getting somewhere though! She is chatting away now, with a fierce love of her dollies. She is bright and endearing and gives the best cuddles!
And then there's our little Ruby Roo....babies change so much in a short year. Too much!! She has blended into our family with ease! Adored by her big brother and loved by everyone she meets. She studies faces for hours...and smiles constantly. The first three horrendous months are now but a distant memory and she is content.
As for me...well as I said it has been a hard year! My mental health has been extremely challenging, especially right now. I am hoping this blog can be some kind of outlet for me to vent and share what is going on in my head, try to make sense of it all.
I hope to become a better blogger! I want to learn about how links work properly and how to put references etc in my posts. It all seems like a bit of a minefield!!
But I need a new challenge! And I am hoping, maybe that this will be it!

Welcome back to blogging thank you ever so much for linking up to Share With Me and I love all the fun filled happy photos of your little ones. I hope to see you again soon. (Please when you link up link a url to a post so others know where to comment) great to have you! #sharewithme
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenny! Do you mean an url to the linky or to my post?
ReplyDeleteTo your post. If its just your website visitors dont know which post you want the comments on hun. But always great to have new comers. Hope you like the linky.
ReplyDeleteCan you put linky in post on an ipad?? Its really hard to add badges and things on wordpress! Have to use the computer!!
ReplyDeleteEasiest way to do it is go to your post that you want to share on the ipad. In the url box hold your finger there for a second and it will allow you to copy that post url. Then come to share with me and click enter and hold your finger in the url link up box and click paste. Not sure about badges on the ipad but you can always just type at the bottom of your post i am linking up with Lets Talk Mommy or Share With Me linky. And hyperlink it to my site. Then you are still linking back but not having to copy and paste the badge code. Hope that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Will try that!
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog and this is a lovely introduction to your family :)
ReplyDeleteI only have one child (so far) so anyone with two or, god forbid, three seems like a hero. Well done!
Thank you! Yes life isn't easy a lot of the time, but I can't imagine it any other way now!! Xx
