This is a photo of Milla after scoffing a bowl of yummy spaghetti bolognaise (my mum’s recipe of course). The photo brought back some simple but warm childhood memories for me.

Remember happily playing and hearing the words, “Dinner’s Ready!”?
Remember sitting up at the table and being presented with your meal of which you had no part to play in preparing?
Remember asking, “May I please leave the table?” when you had demolished what was on the plate and running off, not to do the dishes, but to keep playing?

Childhood really was so good.

You could eat and not have a care in the world as to how much was on your face.
You had a warm bath waiting for you after dinner and clean pj’s to jump into.
Bed was made, clean and with your favourite bedtime toys waiting for you.

I’m so glad as a mother that I can now do all this for Milla and Finn. I hope I can do it as well as my own mother and Milla and Finn will one day think fondly of those childhood days when their mum took such good care of them.
