Actually...I made a conscious decision to buy them lol I haven't made my own lemonade for years, since the kids were little. I know its really a summer thing, but yesterday I needed to be reminded that summer will come, and the yellow of the lemons cheered me up a little bit. I followed a… Continue reading When Life Gives You Lemons…

My Bucket List

What Children Teach Us
Really hectic day today...a new carpet being fitted in my bedroom meant that the whole room needed to be cleared by lunchtime...then throw a 2.5 year old into the mix (our grandson) and you have a recipe for disaster...or so I thought. But...he thoroughly enjoyed helping Grand-Dad dismantle the bed, had no problem being shut… Continue reading What Children Teach Us
