a unyummy parenting journey
When the past comes to call, at first, you are strangely curious. How has someone developed, progressed, what has happened in their life (particularly now most of us are pandemic survivors), what are their thought processes now, have they matured? Sometimes old memories, even flickers of that person you use to know may evoke strangely… Continue reading When the past comes to call…
One of the only few positives of the pandemic and all the lockdowns among a lot of negativity and awful things going on, was reconnecting with my creative side and helping and assisting my son with this too. Now things have settled, I would just like to share some of those highlights. Den building My… Continue reading Revisiting Various Lockdown and Post Lockdown Creations

Reading a recent netmum’s article has reminded me of this blog, my son’s friendship woes, which at present he is doing well with. He doesn’t have a bestie, but has a circle of close male friends in school.
