Hello there, I just wanted to stop by quickly and let you know I'm home. Thank you for all your emails and comments enquiring asking if all is well and it is. Life is just really busy right now, the boys are home on their Spring holidays, we have overseas guests, the weather is just too wonderful to be sitting in front of a computer and I have a few more things on my plate at the moment.
I will soon post some holiday snaps, so I hope you will be patient.
Oh, last night on a current affairs programme, this American mum was interviewed, I don't know how contreversial I am being posting about her, but I think what she has to say just makes so much sense, what do you think?
I saw that interview. I thought she was fantastic (and a real New Yorker, I think Kerry was a bit scared of her) and I completely agreed with what she said. Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the interview.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home. I hope you had a great time. We are fresh home too and a little overwhelmed with getting back into civilization and some sort of routine so I totally sympathize with your lack of time.
I look forward to seeing some snaps when you get time.
take care.
Welcome back lovely...look forward to hearing and seeing about your adventures when you get a chance to catch your breath. p.s didnt see the interview but now you have me curious ; ) x
ReplyDeleteOh, Engracia, I absolutely agree with her as well. Having worked as a public liability lawyer defending councils in playground cases, I saw what she was talking about. I did a post which touched on helicopter parenting - if you're interested, you can find it at http://lifeonplanetbaby.blogspot.com/2010/09/raising-next-generation.html J x
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're home safely! I had a terrible moment one day driving when I realised I hadn't read your blog in a while, and hoped you and your family were ok. (Is that weird?!) So glad all's ok - welcome back and enjoy the blog break :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome home Engracia! Can't wait to see snippets from your travels - hope you had an incredible time and are getting settled back at home.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with what Lenore Skenazy says in that interview. Personally I think we do more harm than good protecting kids so much from potential risks. This way they'll never learn how to take care of themselves. Surely a parents job is to teach their child to eventually become independent by allowing them to suss out dangers for themself, in a controlled way of course.
welcome home and so looking forward to seeing your travel pictures...oh, i am sure it was amazing.
ReplyDeleteGoing to the Opera House to see her speak at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas on Sunday afternoon... Glad to hear you are back. Catch up soon??
ReplyDeleteS nice to see "Lynwood Musings" pop up on my reader list :-) Let's catch up with the boys soon, dying to hear more about your trip.
ReplyDeleteooh so nice to see your post (albeit quite a few days late!) - I hope you're enjoying the blogging break and spending time with your boys.
ReplyDeleteJust watched the interview - brilliant - I completely agree with what she has to say. Thanks ever so much for sharing. Take care, Annie
Welcome back - had been wondering how you and your little family were doing on your travels. Look forward to seeing some pics xx
