We're back from visitng family up north, and settling back in. Bit of a shock to be faced with running a household again, as well as just being a mother to the kids. I like the single focus (on the kids, say), and having to multi-task has made me a bit grumpy. Hmmm... The big suitcase remains unpacked, but I managed to clean the bathroom sink yesterday - SO overdue! What made me feel really satisfied was that all I used was water, vinegar and a few drops of lavendar oil, purely for the smell, and it came up SO clean - go the natural products! (I must have been really satisfied to be writing about it here!)
It was a great space with my grandparents. My grandmother just got better and better while I was there, although they've now decided to move into a nursing home ASAP. Big transition but having a leg amputated is a big transition too! Puts other transitions in perspective.
Took heaps of photos, and will put some links to albums up soon, but here's a few for now...
