At the start of the summer we reached the end of an era.  Our baby (she’s actually almost 5) finished in Montessori which was based in the creche I had used since I went back to work almost 9 years prior to that.
Of course every era that ends results in a new beginning. Â After having enjoyed a relaxing summer, which included a 2.5 week trip to Lanzarote, the beginning of September saw new beginnings.
I now have three children in primary school. Â The little lady who finished off her Montessori marched (almost literally) into school and hasn’t looked back. Â Of my three, she was the one I was least worried about. Â She is quiet but confident and wise beyond her years (too much listening to her big sister). Â Any worries I had about her starting school were for myself. How would I cope with my baby going off. Â My Mum’s death has given me a lot of perspective. There is nothing to be sad about my baby growing up and I was totally fine with seeing her off. Every day is a blessing and I am enjoying watching my children grow and learn.
However, now that they are all off at school and I have another couple of years of career break ahead of me I am left with mornings of time to fill. Â Of course there are coffees to be had, laundry to keep on top off, housework coming out of my ears and of course blogging to be done. Â In attempting to keep my brain busy and try to add to the family coffers we set up a Digital Media company, EMZ Digital Media Ltd, appropriately named after my three children; Emily, Matthew and Zoe.
While Learner Mama will remain my personal blog and I will keep you posted on my journey through parenting three lively (school) children right here, there will be a new arm of Learner Mama, Learner Mama Social, which will be the lighthearted, fun and gossipy part as well as being the first rung on the EMZ Digital Media network.  I will of course continue as before to do my best to earn a few shillings out of Learner Mama and my other blog csectionmums.com but the business focus will be firmly on Learner Mama Social and hopefully beyond.
Finally, on a personal level I am still coming to terms with the new beginnings of life without Mum but later this month I will turn 40 (hopefully gracefully!) which will mark the start of a new personal era in terms of decades of life and I hope that it will see nothing but health and happiness for myself and those around me.
Best of luck with everything, Lucy! *clink clink*
