Calm
After the chaos, busyness and goings on over the last few weeks in this house, this week has all been about trying to calm down and bring things back to normal. Birthdays, parties and family visits is a perfect recipe for hyped up kids.
The children have loved every minute of the excitement that has adorned this house, but all things must come to an end and with children I believe it is important to get back to a routine as a way of calming them down.
We have been focusing on returning to a normal bedtime, getting outside for some fresh air, whilst burning off some of the excited energy that has built up and lots of free play.
This is my solution to calming children down….fresh air, exercise and a good bedtime routine.
A week later and my solution is starting to work, just in time for hubby going away on a business trip!

We have the same word of the week! Just dropping by to say HI!
Calm is great isn’t it !
I’m looking forward to some of this too – one birthday party and one more birthday to go next week and then we’re done. I think! #WotW
Oh it’s so nice to have a bit of calm! #WotW

Perfect, and just the sort of week you were after after the birthday chaos! Glad it’s working
Thanks for sharing with #WotW
It was definitely needed x
We are just entering your busy phase with Theo’s Birthday today and the Triplets and Ally to follow all within the next 5 weeks. I look forward to the calm afterwards! #WotW
Hope everyone has a good birthday
Oh yes, I could do with some calm! I always blame sleepless nights on not getting enough fresh air. Whoo hoo for sunshine and being able to get out more.
Sunshine definitely helps
Ohh I do love a it of calm….
Sounds like a good recipe for calm kids… I definitely find my little boy is calmer (eventually!) when he’s had a good toddle around the park…
