For this Aussie gal it is Summer, the end of the calendar year and the school year. Which also means my children are home for 7 weeks, yes you got it 7 weeks for my little ones. The last several years we have been ridiculously blessed with an invitation to fly away somewhere during these […]
The day I became a tradition rebel and how I found my way back.
I love my traditions, they ground me, comfort me and increase my sense of celebration. Building upon family history as we repeat interesting little rituals and adhere to quirky little rules.
