Bittersweet Endings & New Beginnings
From this in 2000... This time of year is always a great time to reflect on endings and beginnings...I love that pause between the 2 years.....hopefully with a holiday, so there is time for rest, recharging, recovering, reflection & fingers crossed, relaxation, before a New Year fully begins!

The reality of school mornings (sigh!) and the need to breathe…
I'm wondering what mornings are like at your house? Yesterday was an absolute classic - with my twins (and me!) getting used to a new bus routine and earlier start time...for high-school.
