Expat: an American Valentine

February 15, 2013 By Sara | mumturnedmom Leave a Comment

My husband and I have never been huge on Valentines Day. This is largely due to the fact that we didn't manage to be in the same country, much less city, for our first four or five Valentines Days! ...

1 week ago by mumturnedmom T H E • T H R E E The house seems very quiet now that all our visitors have gone home. Just the five of us again. So, we took a day trip to Storyland yesterday, and had a fabulous, fun, family day. From the wee girls first (and possibly last ) go on the log flume ride, to my husbands awesome expression on the rollercoaster (might be a last time there too ) to getting absolutely soaked, and laughing A LOT, on the raft ride (our family favourite), it was a brilliant day. Rounded off with a lovely…
3 days ago by mumturnedmom G E T T I N G • R E A D Y Yesterday saw us at the Class of 2030 welcome event. Seriously, how scary is that, 2030 This little one was thrilled to catch up with her soon to be classmates, and had a great time running around. I'm having a little trouble with my youngest starting school, where has the time gone?!?
7 days ago by mumturnedmom S C A R So, this one will sport an impressive scar under his chin after a fall yesterday He missed his footing and fell into steps at a water park where we were spending the day The first aiders were great, although clearly a little surprised by the large hole in his chin and I held it together remarkably well until his dad arrived, and then had to sit down when the haze that tells me I'm about to pass out descended The lovely Urgent Care doctors agreed to glue rather than stitch when he freaked out at the…
4 days ago by mumturnedmom T E A M As my younger son can't swim until his chin is healed, today was a digging day at the beach. It was so lovely to watch him and my daughter working together
8 hours ago by mumturnedmom A N D • R E L A X I think this will be my spot for the next three days. Right here. Book in hand the odd cheeky glass lots of treats lots of laughs. Time to chill ☀️ *sigh*
4 days ago by mumturnedmom L E A P This is what summer is all about. Leaping into every day and making the most of every minute
5 days ago by mumturnedmom B E T T E R This one is feeling much better now, after the split chin incident! As we can't go to the pool, we're finding other ways to stay occupied. Today we went for a wander around our local zoo, stroked a snake and fed the goats
16 hours ago by mumturnedmom B R E A K At last, we're off for a few days of relaxation! We're heading down to the Cape and we can't wait to just chill. Pool, beach, food, family And, the 8yo is allowed in the water again (although, the scar gel is now definitely going to be in use!). So hopefully there will be plenty more moments like this one
1 week ago by mumturnedmom S U M M E R It's going too fast. I want a pause button. I want more days like this at the beach, more time at the pool, more lazy days with the kids. My eldest and I have just got back from school supply shopping; getting organized for back to school makes me realize just how little vacation we have left On the plus side, we still have lots of adventures planned for our last couple of weeks of holiday. And there will definitely be more beach days ☀️
2 weeks ago by mumturnedmom W A V E S It's a bit grey and miserable today, but hoping to get back to the beach tomorrow... such crazy weather we're having, never quite know what to expect one day to the next!
