This time last year we were sheep shearing. We have decided to do it a little later this year but that day, while I was running around feeding the helpers and annoying Hubster by taking three million photos, I had a funny taste in my mouth. When it was all over, I made some excuse…
In our house, Hubster and I don’t buy each other gifts for Mother’s and Father’s Day. Our children aren’t really old enough to want to buy us things so until they are old enough, we are happy to just get cards. You can’t beat hand made things from children though. Boo made things for Mother’s…
