List 7: Things I’ve learnt as a parent
- It’s all about the bubbles! I wish anything made me as happy as blowing and chasing bubbles makes my girls!
- Being there for your children is worth more than anything money can buy
- they grow up far too fast, so enjoy them while you can
- they don’t need expensive toys, give them a cardboard box and watch their imagination get to work
- follow your intuition… accept advice but ultimately learn to trust yourself
- turn the volume up, the lights down and dance like crazy in the living room
- listen… everything can be worked out if you take the time to listen to what they’re trying to tell you
- read, read, read….every single day
- offer chopped up fruit to make ‘fruit faces’ for a snack and they’ll devour the lot
- there’s always time for a hug and an ‘i love you’
- create your own family traditions
- sometimes cake for breakfast is ok!
