Since the essence of my blog is my life as a Polkadotty Mum, I thought I would share the blog I wrote for our Polkadots.co.nz blog today... since its all about being a Polkadotty Mum!
Quite often, we, (The Polkadots) find ourselves being asked, “How is work going?”. We then find ourselves looking blankly at them and then thinking out loud will say, “Work? I don’t work”. People then go on to clarify and say “How are The Polkadots going?” to which we respond “Oh, Polkadots! Polkadots is going great!”
Don’t get me wrong, its not that doing everything Polkadotty isn’t hard work, but the way we see it, everything we do with or for Polkadots is just an extension of what we are trying to do as mothers. We work really hard to make sure that whatever we do, Polkadots or not, that it is going to make us all better mums.
When we are writing songs, we write them with the children and depending on how they respond to the song tells us whether its a keeper or not. When we are coming up with activity ideas to go along with our songs we try them out with our children first. When we are trying to get scripting down for our next big show, the children will get mini shows of their very own. We LOVE making learning exciting for our children and we would be doing all these things whether we were Polkadots or not, so it’s especially great that we can share it with all the other mums out there who want to be the best mums they can be as well.

So, although life can be pretty full on as a Polkadot, its a life where we get to sing all the time. We get to dance (workout) nearly every day of the week. We get to learn amazing things about our world, and play alongside our children where imaginations are the controlling factor. We are showing our children how we are using our talents and developing new ones. That’s our work.
