Sleepovers are life! The day of reckoning might come soon, when I’m left all alone with 4 children, but this week I’m having cocktails and dinner alone with my husband. And with this very unusual school year drawing to an end, a gigantic red juicy summer fun is just about to begin.
A tradition in the making
It’s a wee obsession of mine, finding traditions to sprinkle onto our lives. One of the more established ones is a special T-shirt for my child’s birthday.
