welcome to Big White Wall dante. I haven't see you around before and I think you might be new, if so, its good to have you around.

Number one tip - alone or with others - relax!!! It is your holiday too and everyone needs to learn to give each other space - even the kids (and vice versa of course).  Is there a reason why you feel particularly stressed? 

You are so very lucky spending time with your children -  just chill and let then learn from it too?

Hi Dante

You are doing a  good job there at the seaside with 2 little girls on your own. 

You can have quiet times where you do things they might do at home, only do it sitting onthe sand, or wherever.  Find a pound shop - sure to be one somewhere there - and get them cheap colouring books and felt tips and let them have colouring sessions, get join the doys boooks, get some pipecleaners and help them make llittle figures - (this can last hours) - get them a little note pad each and plan a list of things that they need to find on a day - eg 3 donkeys, 10 cyclists, 5 green cars, 4 sandcastles, 3 lumps of seaweed etc  etc, be as creative as you like and let them help make the list (ok, what are we going to have on our list for today ? - they could draw pictures of the things and out a number beside it as the little one may be  a bit young to read the words)  and make it sound like it will be great furn and make it like that's their job for the day. Pound shops are full of things for little girls without it being too damaging to your pocket.

If you can get skipping ropes, teach them how to skip, if they don't know how yet.  

Drawing pictures in the the  sand - shapes, animals, people, flowers, whatever else you can think of. 

Making a little picture  journal each of what they did each day - they draw a picture per page to respresent their day. Let them take photos of their favourite things, get them singing  as often as possible, teach them too play Eye  spy.

 Walks on the prom where they are not allowed to stand on the lines/ edges. must hop for 20 yards, skip for 20 yards, run for 20 yards, walk for 20 yards - could be great fun.

Best of luck - you can do this and they will have lovely memories of that holiday with dad.  Make it as simple as possible  and keep them simply organised and occupied  - its' about manaing them and please dont think you need to spend lots of money for then to have a good time - you don't.

Best of luck - keep us updated if you can.

The treasure game was a great hit. Today there was some rain so we also made scrap books with all the things the girls collected during these days.

I do find evenings the hardest once they are in bed. I cannot go out and yet i don't really have much to do. I really do not enjoy television apart from sport. I keep imagining her with him now and I really do not want those imagse in my head.
