I love school holidays. LOVE them! While I often hear mums (and the occasional harassed Grandma!) complaining about the kids being underfoot during the holidays, I can’t get enough of them. I’m like a kid at Christmas, counting down the days till the school holidays arrive.
School holidays mean that the pace of life slows down dramatically. The routine relaxes. The kids can wake up when they’re ready instead of me stirring them out of bed at 7 every morning. (And yes, my kids are ones that sleep till I wake them up. But the trade – off is that they stay awake at night in their shared bedroom, giggling and chattering long after the lights are out).
