February 4, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 3 Comments

So Facebook is ten and everyone has the opportunity to make a video of their time on the social media site. I admit it. I cried. I joined in 2007 and so many things have happened since then. I’d just met my (now) husband. There’s been highs and lows. I must admit I’m not one … [Read more…]

January 30, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 9 Comments
