Pancakes are often made in my house.The children love eating them both with marmelade or nutella cream.The problem Is,they are all impatient while preparing it so it seems my plate Is non-stop empty because someone takes one while putting marmelade on it.And my four daughters are competing who Is going to eat the pancake first.

Enjoying hot chocolate *Yesterday my the oldest daughter told me that she wants to pay some drink or whatever we choose,using her own money, she received as a birthday present.She asked me to take her and her sisters for a walk and to have a rest at some caffee restaurant in order to drink hot chocolate.I was happy to have a walk with three of them,(the youngest stayed at home with her dad)on beautiful afternoon*. At first we were at park .They played and enjoyed in the park activities.There were some friends,do they played together.The weather was pretty nice.When they were tired enough they asked me to continue our walk. As I have promised we visited a local restaurant called > Amsterdam ,and she has ordered three hot chocolates for three of them. Dora was happy to pay the bill. It was Her desire to pay with her own money. She Said it makes Her happy. Ana was happy too and enjoyed her hot chocolate. Ellie didn't take care while drinking so her T-shirt was broken because of chocolate. It was nice and beautiful walk with beautiful daughters.I am glad we finally had our own time,just for four of us.I can't wait the babies' growing up,so we can take her to the similar walks when she Is ready.We could talk about different topics and enjoy drinking hot chocolate. Thanks for your time. Greetings

My baby as Eeyore Disney characters are often mentioned in our home and they are also our favourite toys. We have books, magazines, movies and plush toys, barby toys representing some characters from famous fairy tales.You can found something connected to some Disney character almost everywhere in our flat. I adore buying some Disney costumes for my children and my kids adore wearing those costumes, enjoying exchanging roles. . Three years ago I bought Eeyore costume from the book and cartoon 'Winnie the Pooh and friends' to Ana, my third daughter, and it is our favourite costume. Since my daughter now has three years and a half I found the costume again from an old box, and tried to put it on my the youngest baby daughter Mima, and it perfectly suits her. I am glad she can wear it now. She seems so cute. This morning še went walking so Ana was as a mascote, so everyone starred at her and smiled. She really enjoyed walking. The weather today is really beautiful and sunny. I hope I will write some new articles in the future showing you our other interesting costumes. Thanks for reading the article. I hope you find it interesting. The photos and content are my own property.

Where Is happiness hidden?! What makes happiness in general? Everyone has an idea of what are small pleasures and what are great joys in life. The basic happiness for every person is good health, provided basic living conditions, food, clothes, emotional warmth. **Recipe for happiness** Where a four-leaf clover hides?Have you ever thought to look for a happy plant with four leaves?Maybe it will make you happy and successful if you find it..Do you believe it could happen if you find it in the grass? There are no ready-made recipes in life. However, for happiness, the most important things are optimism and the way life is viewed . For me, happiness is family, smile, health and harmony, and sometimes I have everything, but it's as if I'm missing something to be happy. It happens sometimes but after few days it disappear,my family and kid's voices me happy. Optimism is a faith that leads to perfection. Nothing can be achieved without hope, said a woman named Helen Keller, who was a world symbol of perseverance, courage and optimism. At the age of 19 months, she became ill and remained blind and deaf. Although she heard and saw the world only by touch, she learned several foreign languages, received her doctorate in philosophy, wrote books and gave lectures around the world. She was an inspiration to many people, showing by her example the power of strength, knowledge and wealth that exist in our mind and body. Happiness Is all around us,we just need to observe better our environment.

Neonatal sepsis My fourth daughter's first birthday Is coming soon and I want to share something that caused a lot of stress and anxiety to me and to my family in February 2021,after delivering my princess. My pregnancy was very difficult.I have had a blood pressure during all eight months,I wrote eight because I had to give a birth to my baby in eighth month of my pregnancy,actually in 34th week.It was difficult for me and for my family members,especially because I couldn't be the mother my kids deserve .I felt anxiety,fear,and incapability to be myself. One day,unexpectidly I ve' got a harsh pain and I I started bleeding .I knew that baby had to go out,even so earlier than expected.It was midnight,the kids were sleeping,we had to wake them up in order to go to the hospital as soon as possible.The baby was born soon after but I have noticed something strange in her voiceless crying and slow breathing .They told me that she needed oxygen about 70 per cent. And it was very difficult for me but she was getting well until one day they told me that she Is ready to go home,she was stable and healthy.I called my husband to tell him great news.The baby was finally with me,I could watch her tiny face.And yes I could finally be with other children at home.That evening I went to have a shower ,I told my roommate to observe my baby.When I returned back,after five minutes I didn't find her.The girl told me that the nurse took her ,because she has noticed that baby's colour of skin was bad. After An hour a doctor told me that my baby Has to be transferred to other hospital because her blood results are not good at all,and that she started vomitting strange liquid,and they doubt she had sepsis.They told me to go upstairs to see her for a moment before they move Her.Oh,you cannot imagine the pain and fear I felt at the moment.They had to give me sedatives and injection.I will not write about nightmares I have passed through because it Is difficult to recall memories and explain.Thanks to that precious person ,a nurse who has noticed the change in baby's look ,suddenly,and immediate reaction of doctors,who gave her some srong antibiotics my baby Is healthy and live and I am praying for her every day. My girl didn't have any problem after that,but I am always afraid as a mother.She Is going to be one year old next week.I cannot imagine life without her.Her smile and her little hands are my happiness. Let's write something about sepsis. Sepsis is a serious medical condition caused by the body's response to an infection. A newborn who has an infection and develops sepsis can have inflammation (swelling) throughout the body, leading to organ failure. Signs and symptoms of ***neonatal*** sepsis are: Body temperature changes(my baby had very high temperature) Breathing problems(she was breathing very difficult) Diarrhea Low blood sugar Reduced movements Reduced sucking Seizures Slow heart rate Swollen belly Vomiting(my baby was vomitting a strange green liquid) Yellow skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice)(that actually made a nurse suspicious) I will write about the topic in some future article.For now I will stop here. I hope noone will ever have such a bad experience as I had. Our children Are Our the Best treasure.

Women and football I am not so much fond of football.Maybe because I am a girl,or maybe the football as a sport Is too much in the media or around us,with some numbers,amounts,trading with players, like they are not human beings,for me sport and money cannot be together in such highlighted manner.Kids watching it have unreal dreams,and when they start playing ,they start being disapoointed too,because the parents don't have so much money or power to encourage them to be in teams they would like....Probably I am wrong.It Is just my opinion. Sport Is very healthy,and doing it with pleasure and not under stress can be good .My sister who lives in Sweden has a daughter,at the age of 12 and she Is obsessed with Neymar,Brasilian football player. She even had her birthday cake with the name of Neymar,and my niece Is really into football.She started playing at school and now she moved to some Swedish football club.We Are proud of Her,but my sister Is not so happy for that ,most because it Is dangerous.She often returns home wet and dirty.My sister Is of the opinion that it Is not for a girl.The girls are usually more sensitive to bad weather conditions.Football players are quite used to playing in all sorts of weather conditions:rain, snow, wind, heat, fog, etc. Most times, they just have to play on. What about female players? What Is your opinion of female football?At present, women’s football is still a struggling sport, but things change I believe. Of course it Is fair to have both male and female football and I am not against it but maybe some rules for women can change. So what are the major differences between men’s and women’s football. in my opinion the big difference is that men play to prove that they are the best,they like to be in the focus. Women, on the other hand, play to prove something to themselves, and are always open to new ideas. They don’t have such a big ego to get in the way.Maybe you disagree.I just wrote some thoughts that Are just mine.I respect other opinion too. In my country football Is the most famous sport and children start playing it very young.Some parents disagree with their choice but after some time they let them play. Thanks for reading my article.Feel free to write your own opinion about the topic.

Speechless Speechless I remain when I hear your name, Do you feel the same ? I don't know why but I feel so shy. When you call me dear I want to be so near you.... Motionless I remain when I hear your name, Do you feel the same? When you call me dear, I will try to be so near YOU. Some lyrics I wrote a long time ago,when I was teenager.

Expecting a postman When I was a child I used to write and send letters.I actually had a lot of pen friends worldwide.The postman was as a family member,he was delivering mail every week. There were colourful letters,postcards,small booklets and wrapped stamps. We used to exchange many different things,especially music CDs,stickers and postcards. It was really wanderful time. The happiness was very huge,and I was so happy while reading about new things,learning new languages ,exchanging ideas about new cultures. My penfriends were from Africa,Sweden,Japan,Korea,Iceland,Finnland,Australia,Spain,Poland and Russia.When the Christmas was coming ,the letters were full with stickers and beautiful cards. I was very exchited when I holded some new Christmas card in my hands. It was a custom to send cards not only to penfriends,but to relatives,neighbours and collegues. Best wishes and beautiful cards were the best presents for New Year or Christmas.They were under tree,on the shelves or even on the walls.I used to check the mail box as often as I could,hoping I will find something there.Nice memories. I was receiving cards and letters till my twenty-forth birthday.After that it was rarity to receive some letter .People started sending e-mails instead of real snailmail,e-mail you receive immediately but for snailmail you can wait for months.But the beauty was in waiting. Recently I received new card for Christmas from a special person.It made my day . I was so happy.It recalled my beautiful memories of exchanging real mail in the past. This card as a special place under my Christmas tree. I also sent few cards for Christmas to some special people,I hope they will enjoy it too. Do you like to receive Christmas cards? Thanks for reading my article.Greetings.

Christmas tree craft ideas I love art. It makes me happy and relaxes me. The New Year and Christmas are full of many creative ideas. Now we can really explore and make all kinds of decorations and give free rein to our imagination. It Is inbeliavable what our hands can make in order to invent something new and unique. Being a monther of four kids I am searching for new ideas for creative work.I really enjoy making things out of paper or of clay. Two of my daughters are still in the kindergarten and you cannot imagine how many creative works I have found there.Every day when I go to pick up the kids from the kindergarten I see something new and creative. When I can I take some photos. It Is a time of the year when you can see many different decorations,ornaments and lighting figures everywhere.I will show you some beautiful works of art,made by little hands of the kids,creative parents and teachers helped the kids as well. Here is a small Christmas tree made of paper and small pearls.It Is amazing and simple to make,just buy some green paper,or colour the white one,cut the small peaces and make it . You can use bottles or green or white tissues.Whatever you find interesting and easy for cutting . You can also use the birthday hard as you can see on the precious picture. If you have some old green plastic bottles use them for Christmas tree too. I made some Christmas tree with my daughters too.They made it I was a supporter.Here Is the picture. Few days ago they put all the trees on the hall of the kindergarten.It looks amazing.The Best decorations of school ever.You can see here only a part of creations. I couldn't take more photos but if I do I will share with you. I enjoyed watching them and I hope you like it too. Thanks for your time.

Comparing used to,get used to and be used to Let's talk about some expressions in English that sometimes can make confusion . I hope you can learn how to use them after reading this post **Used to** refers to things done on a regular basis in the past, but no Ionger done in the present. I often use **used to** while talking about past,it Is easier because you don't need to convert irregular verbs from present into past,and sometimes you forget about irregular form of the verb,so just use used to write,used to go instead of I wrote,I went...You have to use **used to** only for things in the past but remember that it tells us that there was a repeated action or state in the past which has now changed. *When I was a teenager I used to play tenis every weekend*. **Get used** to,means to become accustomed to something new,it Is a process of becoming familiar with something. *It took me a while to get used to the roads in England*. *For* the foreigners the three similar expression s are very difficult to recogniz***e.*** ***Be used to*** and ***get used*** *to* are followed by a noun, pronoun or the -*ing* form of a verb, and can be used about the past, present or future. **Be** **used to** means to be comfortable with something.*Be used to* means 'be familiar with' or 'be accustomed to something.So it can tell us that a situation is not new or strange, or is no longer new or strange Here Is An example: *I am a teacher so I am used to talking a lot.* *He’****s not used to*** *working at night so he sometimes falls asleep during his shift.* Thanks for your time.Greetings.

Animal idioms with rat English language Is full of interesting idioms .You can find a lot of animal idioms .I am going to write about animal idioms consisting a rat ... Rats and mice look similar -they are rodents. The biggest difference is the size. Rats are larger and heavier while mice have smaller bodies. When you sad that someone Is A **RAT** you actually mean that the person Is bed,evil and dishonest. Look like a **drowned rat** To be very wet**,** especially because you have been in heavy rain. **The rat race** If you say you want to get away from the “rat race”, it means you want to leave the stress of society and dishonest people or situations. To **smell a rat** Is often used idiom meaning that you start to think that something Is wrong about current situation.For example; He *dissapointed me.I smelt a rat and left him.* If a person Is very drink it Is Said je Is **Rat-arsed.** To rat on someone Is an idiom meaning to tell the police that someone has done something bad. L**ike a rat up a drainpipe** If something is moving very fast, you can also say it is moving like rat up a drainpipe. Source -internet,own knowledge and some ideas From Hot English Magazine

It Is not easy to be a good parent To be a parent Is difficult,and it Is the same to have a baby or o be a parent of teenager, we orries and life lessons are always there... Parents are life mentors to their children and teach them what is good and what is wrong, as well as what are the "tools" for creating good relationships with others, both in the family and school or business environment. If, when you talk to your child, you actively listen to what he is saying, respect his opinion and emotions, then you are building an environment in which the child will be able to adopt values that you also believe in. the child will also have enough self-confidence and faith to cultivate those values and, in a constructive way, defend them when necessary. However, if you are one of those parents who "shares advice" and thinks that he knows some things much better than his child, then you are sending a message to your child:"You don't know anything, I know everything, and you have no right to an opinion, but you will do as I tell you." This attitude of the parents is an excellent basis for creating life traps for their child, where he creates a deep emotional emptiness and a feeling of rejection, as well as a feeling that others do not respect him. Although it is important for most parents to raise their child well and have the best intentions, not everyone is naturally gifted to be able to strike the right balance between adequate and inadequate punishment and reward, or "unhealthy" counseling and "healthy" counseling through active listening and confirmation. of his emotions and attitudes. In fact, it is much more important to accept yourself with your weaknesses and strengths, and be ready to work on yourself and learn new parenting skills that will help you be a better parent. Such a person becomes a good role model for his child and in that way creates a quality living environment in which a mentally stable and resilient adult will develop. Thanks for reading.
