The realities

There are people, lovely friends of mine, who read my blog, and sometimes giggle. Because they come here, and there are sweet pictures of sweet angelic children, who help with baking and play together, and smile. And then I call them in the afternoon, and they hear screaming in the background, and I'm complaining, just a little bit, about how they are driving me BANANAS.
So do please know, because I feel like I need to say, just in case you don't, but of course I'm sure you do, but just as a reminder, that I do have normal children, and we do have a normal children filled house, where we all go, just a little bit BANANAS at times, and mum does get just a little bit yell-ey. And it's just that here, on this blog, I'd rather not dwell on the yell-ey bits, because really, I know you don't want to know about the yell-ey bits, but rather the baking and the crafting, and the lovely things. And when I come here, I take a deep breath and it's refreshing, and while my children are going wild I can think about and notice some of the nice things in our days and we can all smile :) That's what this space is all about.
Ha, as I end this sentence, my children have just come inside, not complaining or crying which has seemed the norm for this afternoon, but instead to show me the stale crackers that they are munching on which we earlier threw out to the birds. Hmmm.

Oh, and thankyou for all the remedy ideas in the last post, some great stuff, and I'm happy to say they are almost back to full health.
