The Bear is unwell again. Nothing major, just a cough, but enough to have us hunkering down for the day. A movie marathon, some craft, a few books. Cuddles, songs and trains. A spot of fresh air once the crispness of a spring morning has given way to the dry heat of an early summer day. Chilling out and spending […]
Hello Wednesday! After a long absence, that wonderful sound is back. I can’t think of a sound (outside of my children’s voices) that I love more than that of rain hitting the roof. And it’s not just any rain, but beautiful, constant, soaking, make-the-grass-green-again rain. It’s been raing for four days now, and the river hasn’t even got a […]
Morning, Monday (and no, it’s not good. My day started when the time had a 5 in front of it. Not. Happy. Jan.) Ugh, what a weekend. Sick boys and rain. Not a good combination.

Now […]

I love these bikkies, they are made from my great-grandmother’s recipe, and remind me of a time when I wasn’t so grown-up, […]
