I’ve really struggled writing this post, in fact I have started to write and subsequently deleted it about ten times in the last two days because what I am about to say seems strange and surreal and maybe some kind of dream or joke and writing it down or saying it out loud may well jinx it and it just seems, well it’s not very me.
But here goes.
When I started writing these looking back posts in January it was with the full intention of revisiting lovely memories and writing down all of the moments I could still remember from the 5 years of parenting before blogging. I wanted to capture the moments in time, to relive the wonderful, the challenges and to document the words that went with the photos too. I hope that if the children ever do look back at this when they grow up they will be happy to have it, or at least when they are older I will want to look back and reminisce on these sometimes overwhelming yet sometimes magical ordinary days of childhood.
