When the days are lonely
And the nights dark
When the moods are gray
And shadows mark
When the thoughts frighten
And my spirits are low
I hear your voice
I see you bow
You lift my spirits
You hold me beyond
My pain my fright
My misery’s all gone
I carry you around
Where ever I go
You’re on my mind
My heart and soul
In the strangest places
When bodies around bark
I feel you there
Lighting up the dark

A very real parent POV 🤍 Comment FUNFOX ✨ and I’ll send you the free trial link + details💛
I had so many doubts before enrolling Nyra in FunFox Writers Club — from our chaotic evenings, to wondering if she’d stay engaged, connect with her teacher, or if the effort would even be worth it.
But little by little, it became part of our routine💖. Her growth & engagement has been so worth it — more confidence, better writing, stronger structure, and something she genuinely looks forward to every week. ✍️
It hasn’t all been perfect (yes, homework uploads still test us 😅), but seeing her progress has made me so happy and so sure we made the right choice.
If you’ve been wanting some extra english support for your child, this is your sign to give FunFox a try 🫶
Term 4 is starting 12th October and my code NadiyaFF will give you a module for free which is worth $250. Comment FUNFOX for details.

Offering healthier options is never wasted.
Today I added a little spring onion on top of their cheese toast. My son ate it happily… my daughter quietly removed the spring onion and enjoyed the rest.
And that’s OK.
Their tongues learn slowly.
Exposure is the key.
We don’t stop offering healthier choices just because they don’t accept them right away. Easy parenting is giving what they’ll eat without fuss — but intentional parenting is offering what’s good for them in the long run.
Small exposures add up. Keep going, mama.
