Description

I have been blogging for 8 months and have just turned 43. I am a SAHM to four young children. I blog about the highs and lows of a busy household, trying to organise my time, my finances and about depression, which I have battled for 20 years. But mainly about the joy and wonderful experiences that my children give me every day. With boys who are 2 and 4 and girls who are 7 and 9 things are never dull.
