My husband and I have 6 children but our youngest has now gone off to university so home is pretty quiet these days. I’ve taken a break from regular employment and spend time with my hubby, kids when they visit, and doing things at home. I also take care of my elderly father who lives 1500 miles away.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
