Aw, big milestone for Pickle and Poppet.. how did their first days go? Also, did you cry? 🥹😆 Oh.. and "fridge cold water" is a thing in our house too!! It's the BEST! 🤩😆
We’re in very similar places! I also love and work with babies and little kiddos, and write about motherhood and parenting etc etc etc! Love the list and your writing! Xx
I also did the "breath check" and then I'd stay a minute or two, just to watch them sleep. So sweet. Also with you on the wash basket smugness. A day when I don't wash feels weird, but liberating.
I'm not sure I could trust tea making to a barista, but I'm a bit particular about how I like my hot beverages.
Hooray that I am not the only one who neurotically checks my children are still breathing before I can sleep! Also if they sleep in…I’m in there, hand on a chest, wondering if it is really their beating heart I’m feeling or if I’ve already gone crazy with grief and am imagining it.
Quiet house here now daughters plus grandchildren have gone home today. You just reminded me that my six-year old granddaughter's favourite phrase this time that she directs at her three-year old cousin when he winds her up is, "I'm not buying what you're selling." Sounds so dismissive! I don't know who she picked it up from. Not me!
Love the list, Charlotte. RELATABLE. My kid is very funny too but also his timing is frustrating so I don't allow myself to laugh. Had to explain to him that I think he's very funny and sneaky and cheeky but can't laugh because I'm also irritated, like when he takes all my cheese and hides it.
🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗
Oh hey THANK YOU!! That makes me feel amazing. And I love your joking children. Also funny: hiding the car keys!

🫶🏻 I don’t have any children but still love this list.
Also do the breath check! And yes, an empty washing basket is a beautiful (and rare!) thing
I love love this list. Also, I’m with you with childbirth! The second was one of my favorite things, never felt more powerful.

A lovely list, Charlotte.
