What Made Me Happy This Month | October
It seemed like October came and went in the blink of an eye. I was lucky enough to get to visit New Zealand. A country I had never been to before but had always wanted to visit. It was a girl’s road trip without kids! The break was fun and we all enjoyed catching up with other […]
What Made Me Happy This Month | September
School holidays were on this September. The slower pace in the mornings made me happy. There wasn’t that mad rush to get out the door. I would make the kids French toast for breakfast and we would sit down together at the table – normally its quick, here’s some toast for you as they are walking […]
