Can you even believe it?? This kid! As you can see, he still loves Lego, and is super into F1 racing at the moment, so he was very pleased with his McLaren model to build. We had a lovely little birthday morning for him at home, then off to school and work all six of…

It’s been nearly three months since I last wrote, so there is a LOT to catch up on. Here are the highlights! We celebrated Grumpy’s 74th birthdayNothing fancy,…
Continue reading →So up until last Sunday, I was nailing the whole “blog every day” challenge that I had set myself! Sure, they weren’t all pearlers, but I was getting back into the groove of daily writing and rather enjoying it. But my week was about to go pear-shaped.

I can hear Marty cleaning up in the kitchen and singing along to the music that is playing. It’s currently a Tay-Tay song and hearing him is making me smile. Chance is at…
