Hi I'm an Irish mum of 4, concentrating on short fiction writing. Becoming part of a writing community and sharing writing tips. My feed is http://twitter.com/alisonwells
I blog about finding the head space to write while minding children and the...
Thanks Charlotte! When my eldest was a baby I managed to write a whole novel while he was napping (it wasn't very good though!) although now with 4 kids I need to be more inventive. In September the third starts school so that leaves one at home. ...
Your suggestions sound idyllic. I don't know if its the age group but I seem to spend more time in conflict resolution than enjoying the benefits of the older siblings' benevolence towards the younger! If it's too quiet I get concerned and this su...
LOL! I love it Alison! Nap time is always a good one and play groups! Those are two that I use. (pretty much the only time I have to write unless the hubby is around to help out)!
Good job, you have really good ones!
You forgot the "quiet" contest!
The "write a book" for mommy...while mommy works.
Older kids can play with the little kids - make paper bag puppets and have a play.
There's always the sock filled with cotton balls toss (pretty hard to break anythi...
It's the holidays, right? But that doesn't mean you can or want to stop the muse from striking, or a deadline's looming and you just have to go for it. My kids are aged between 20mths and 8 years. These are some of the ways, politically correct, a...

I wrote this after the last holidays! Do we need to get ready to readjust?
Back to ‘normality’ after the school holidays, time has evaporated once more, appointments and deadlines beckon, meals, uniforms, homework, housework, nappies, snacks and pickups fill the space. Four clamouring voices make me addled and the temptation is to fob the children off in favour of getting things done.
