A Better Week Came Along

After my post at the beginning of the week about how rubbish our week had been, I got some really lovely comments that made me feel so much better and some comments on how I wasn't alone. This is the great thing about blogging, when I do feel alone in this overwhelming parenting world, if I write about it that feeling disappears due to others saying 'me too' and I want to thank everyone that commented. You made a sad mummy happy.

I am pleased to report this week was so much better. Yes we had tantrums, yes we had meltdowns of the toddler & mummy type but this week shone and I enjoyed being a mummy again.

We got sleep, still interrupted, but less interrupted than the week before and the boys weren't so grumpy.

So I wanted to do a post to sum up our week and show that following a bad week a good week is just around the corner. It wasn't a week full of days out or extravagant things, we just made it a week full of laughs and fun.

Sunday saw us spend the day at my husbands parents house by the sea, and it was blissful. Full of love and laughter, exactly what we needed. The boys loved it and so did we.




Monday was a preschool day for Finley so after drop off Noah and I enjoyed lunch with our best friends. Then that evening my husband came home with loads of puzzles from a very kind lady in his office, and Finley completed a 100 piece puzzle (with help) and was so chuffed!



Tuesday is always our manic day but Noah and I enjoyed some quality time that included Tumble Tots and a gingerbread lolly in the morning. Then in the afternoon my very kind friend offered to drop Finley back from preschool, then she and her sons spent the afternoon with us playing and watching films. Noah obviously had to eat his popcorn in a box, as you do!





Wednesday was a pretty chilled one with housework and work being done while Finley was at preschool, then once home we did our review of the Fire Station Activity Set from Parragon books.




Thursday saw us have a day with our best friends exploring the woods and finishing off with hot chocolate. I love watching the boys explore, even if taking the scooters meant it took us three times as long to get anywhere.






Friday was mine and Finley's day while Noah was at preschool. We got soaked on our way home as my phone weather forecast app had got it wrong but we were still smiling while running in the rain. I then treated Finley (and myself) to a Costa after he was so good while I did a few jobs in town. We then finished the day off with our first ever family movie night and it was great. We watched Inside Out with popcorn and sweets, and both boys actually sat and watched the whole film!





Parenthood is tough and we will all have tough weeks, but there is always a good week around the corner and this week was great!

  1. What a fabulous week, jam packed with fun! Glad you enjoyed the film, inside out it a firm favourite here. How it deals with emotions is so great for kids with autism. Enjoy your weekend Hun. You are so right about parenting. When I'm having a bad day I always think. I won't feel like this tomorrow x

  7. Sorry you had a rough week last week, but glad that this week has been a good one. It can be hard to keep going when it feels like everything is going wrong and getting miserable, but hopefully if it happens again you can look back on this and be reminded that things do get better

  13. I love all the pictures. My littles have all been sick...one right after the other and we have had snow after snow after snow around here so needless to say it's not been very glorious in the fun department. But I am determined to get out this week and do some sledding and playing in the snow. Need to get some pics of the kids in it. I am visiting from #bestandworst.
