What made you happy today?

Seeing the tin lids thrive the past couple of weeks during school holidays. We had some luck with the weather and the snakes are not such a threat here this time of year, so they spent the majority of their holidays playing, creating, imagining and getting muddy… those things kids used to do so well which have been replaced with bloomin’ screens! We have rules on limited screen time during the school term but the iPad was hidden over the holidays and it was the best thing we could have done.

I just love kids being kids and Gracie and Joseph are such a joy to be around. It’s a testament to you and Paul’s good parenting. There’s nothing more fun than getting muddy and being allowed to.

I’m a very happy Grandmother now that Lani and Alex are once again country kids. Collecting eggs has replaced collecting toys, the nearest Maccas is hours away so it’s home grown veggies. Their Stepmum, who they now live with is an Ecologist and Conservation Biologist and her love of nature is having a marvellous effect on them.
