And let’s hope we just made some new memories for our children (and us!), that they will recall later. Happy belated Easter to you too, Dana! xxx

(I can still remember being in first grade and my mother checked me out of school to go see a MOVIE! 40 years later, I can still remember rounding the corner to the secretary’s office and seeing my mom there. I thought I was in trouble for something but she just giggled and said “Come on! We are going to the movies!”) One of my favorite memories. Have a wonderful Spring Break and Happy (belated) Easter!

Welcome, Silvia! Oh yes, I think the same way. I need me-time, regularly and… a lot. But when my kids are home, I try to spend as much time as possible with them. They know that if mum has to work, they have to respect it as much as I do respect when they want to stay alone (and they do). – Non abbiamo mai parlato in inglese insieme, ma non dubito che tu sia bravissima anche in questo! 😉

And children should accept, that mums are also women with a life among their children!
(spero che il mio inglese si capisca… sto imparando :-))
