Friday Focus 29/01/21 – Struggle

29/01/202130/01/2021
The word 'struggle'

This week has been a struggle. The days feel both too long and too short. Too long because it feels like we’re wading through treacle most of the time; and too short to fit in all the things that need to be done. Something has to give. At the moment it feels like it’s mostly… Read More

Making the most of the snow: seven snow-day activities

28/01/2021
A bucket and sand toys on the snow

Sophie has been longing for snow since December. It doesn’t snow very often where we are though, which has been disappointing for her. Last Sunday, the snow finally made an appearance though. She was so excited to look out of the window that morning and see that her wish had finally come true. We certainly… Read More

Friday Focus 22/01/21 – Slog

22/01/202122/01/2021
The word 'slog'

This week has been a bit of a slog to be honest. One of those weeks where it’s just felt all too much. When my patience is running thin, little hiccups feel like big battles and I feel like throwing myself on the floor and joining Thomas in the tantrums!     Sophie is coping… Read More

Jessica standing in front of a tree looking out over a big branch - "Country Kids"

Welcome back to Country Kids. I hope that you are all keeping well. Restrictions and juggling home-schooling have made it a little harder to get our outdoor time in lately. It does make everything feel a little better when we do get outside though, even if it’s only some playtime out in the garden and… Read More

Friday Focus 15/01/21 – Milestone

15/01/202116/01/2021
The word 'milestone' with a cartoon of Thomas standing in front of his cot

We’ve had a milestone moment with Thomas this week as he’s moved from a cot into a toddler bed. We hadn’t intended to convert the cot to a bed just yet but then Thomas worked out how to climb out and that was that. Getting him to settle down and go to sleep in his… Read More

Siblings – January 2021

14/01/2021
Sophie and Thomas running around chasing bubbles with Jessica stnading in the background

I miss the days when writing this monthly siblings post was uncomplicated. When I could easily capture photos and reflect on sibling bonds without having to think of ways in which I could include all my children or tread the balance of reflecting on life as it is versus life as it could have been.… Read More

Feed the birds – joining in with the Big Garden Birdwatch

13/01/202116/01/2021
A redwing in a tree

Our outdoor activities might have become very restricted with the latest lockdown, but one thing we can still enjoy is feeding the birds and seeing how many different types visit our garden. We’re looking forward to taking part in this year’s Big Garden Birdwatch at the end of January and seeing how many different birds… Read More
