Today I’m featuring another amazing blogger, Melitsa. But she’s not only a blogger … she also has a wonderful podcast series that has endless ideas on how to connect with children. (You definitely will want to check out show #120 featuring yours truly!) So, here are …
The ABCs of Raising Playful Tots
| Age | Late 30s. Why is it so hard to remember your age? |
| Beverage of Choice | Spiced apple tea, Caro or Roobos tea. I did have a thing for banana milk but thankfully that phase is over. |
| Chore you Hate | Putting away the piles I make. I tend to spread. |
| Daily Routine | Nothing regular not really a creature of habit. Getting up before the kids, instead of with the kids, is a new daily routine. Little time for me, the blog and podcast, husband and kids. I must listen to something fun or makes me think each day. |
| Essential start of the day | Quiet time and stretching….there is so little quiet time in our house. |
| Favorite Color | Green |
| Favorite Game | Scrabble. Love it. Totally terrible at it with 3 and 4 letter words, so I frustrate most serious players. The kids are beginning to beat me now, but I still love it. |
| Height | 1.71m |
| favorite Ice Cream flavor | Not keen on ice cream… kid’s get my scoop. Now if you said Chocolate….. |
| Beloved piece of Jewelry | Only pieces: wedding and engagment rings |
| Kids (names & ages) | Big Guy 9, Middle One 6 and Little One 4- 3 smiley active boys and 1 pooped mum and dad. |
| Where do you Live | Yorkshire, England |
| Favorite Movie(s) | Bourne- any of the first three, Shakespeare in Love |
| Nickname | Mel |
| Occupation | Worked as a Primary Teacher. Now Mum with many hats! |
| Pet Peeve | Lights on in empty rooms |
| favorite Quote | Joshua 1:9 |
| Right or left-handed | Right |
| Siblings | Yes, one. |
| Time it takes to get ready | 20 minutes if given the chance but I’m usually distracted or interrupted. Can pull it off in 5-10mins and usually done in stages. |
| Unusual Fact | I have lived in more homes than years I have been married |
| Best Vacation | Lake Bled- Slovenia. |
| What makes you late | Me. Serial procrastinator…that one last thing to do…oh and just this….and that… You get the picture. |
| Xrays you’ve had | Oh lots- Never for any broken bones |
| Yummy food that you make | Veggie enchiladas and apple crumble |
| favorite Zoo animal | Elephant- I also like the Kangeroos but they are always so hard to see. Keep bouncing off further back. |
And now for this week’s Kids Co-Op Linky …
I’ve actually been to Bled, Slovenia and LOVED it!!! What a green, pristine paradise on earth:).
