4p is what I got from my son!

3 December 2013 by Eileen

This afternoon, my son came home and ran upstairs. So I went up too. Seeing him empty his money box, I thought to myself what is he up too? Is he saving up to buy toys or maybe Skylanders? About 5 minutes later, he shoved it up to my face with a tiny written note and 4 p:

4p money note

dir mon from kxxxx

I no you hav onee alit ul bit of mune

So it is translate:

Dear Mom,

I know you have only a little bit of money

From Kxxxx.

Behind the note – he written P4. I think he meant 4p! It is very sweet and thoughtful of him. But surely I’m worth more than 4 p as he has two £1 coins in his money box! Well, I suppose it is better than nothing!

Hello!

Welcome to ET Speaks From Home!

Hi, I’m Eileen — a mum of two teenagers, aged 18 and 16, and a passionate lifestyle blogger sharing snippets of family life, creativity, and culture since May 2012. My daughter lives with visual impairment, and our journey together has shaped much of the heart behind this blog.

What started as a small space to document family memories has grown into a vibrant corner of the internet where I share my love for cooking, crafting, DIY projects, Chinese culture, parenting, and honest product and YouTube reviews. Whether I’m creating festive crafts, exploring Chinese traditions, or trying out new recipes, I hope to inspire others through everyday moments from home.

Over the years, ET Speaks From Home has been recognised by several parenting and blogging communities, including:

* Top 20 UK Parent Blogs (2020)
* Tots100 Top 20 Blog on Twitter (2014)
* Tots100 Top Mummy Vloggers (2015)
* Tots100 Top 20 Vloggers (2016)
* Shortlisted for the BritMums Brilliance in Blogging Awards (BiBs), Video Category (2014)
