Hi Lovely people, I wanted to share this with you, sorry its so long!

I am a mother of four kids, also doing childminding.

I have purchased a stand up greenhouse. I have involved my family in caring for the stuff we are growing. We are growing corn on the cob, courgettes, tomtatoes etc. We try to eat a healthy and balanced diet. This is very enjoyable!

I am amazed at the growing process of the planted stuff. I am also amazed at the development of the children in my care.

Life can get busy and sometimes we can be so busy doing things for others (dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with that) that we do make time to do what WE enjoy doing. I am learning to chill and take time out to do what I also enjoy too.

Okay lovely people, let me know what you are busy with and what you have made time to enjoy?

Thanks for reading this.....

Busy uploading photos to the parents photo album on my website!! lol

I'm not the right person to ask though, I VERY recently had a thread (to quit or not to quit) and it was about how I DON'T seem to have time to myself because there is so much paperwork etc etc!

Well done you, having 4 kids of your own too

Thanks for that.How are you today?

Childminding has its good points ie flexible hours.

Oh I'm not disputing it has good points, you asked about things in spare time and I just simply don't get much at the moment

I agree about flexible hours but for me, it's not that flexible as I NEED to earn what I earn which is why I work 7.30am - 6pm and quite a bit of overnight care. But saying that, I used to work 6.45-6.30 and I decided never to do that again so that's flexible as it's up to me.

Anyway, back to positive things.....I did say I wasn't the right person though
