Visions...

Sometimes

Out of the blue

Memories

Come rushing back

Catching me off guard

Visions of me

Holding my little girl

And if

I close my eyes

I can almost see her

She's smiling

She's jumping

She's dancing

Hair in pigtails

I can hear her laugh

Blowing me kisses

As she runs ahead

She's beautiful

She's glowing

But

When I reach out

To touch her

I can't...

I held her

Every second

Of her life...

But I can't anymore...



School's Out...

No more waking up early...

No more rushed breakfasts...

No more running for the bus...

No more sitting still all day...

No more sandwiches and juice boxes...

No more homework...

School's out!



Very proud of Olivier and Joshua for working hard all year and finishing with their kindergarten and grade 3 diplomas!

Front Loaders vs Cloth Diapers

I have HE front loaders...And must admit...Was very scared of how I would manage to get my diapers clean.

I heard horror stories of CD's with front loaders everywhere I went.

Was my CD experience destined to be a washing nightmare?

Not at all.

I have come up with a CD washing routine...And I must say...It works great...So...

Cloth diapers...

Front loaders...

A clothesline...

And a day of sunshine...

A perfect combination.
