The harsh alarm sound that I’d almost forgotten the sound of echoes around the darkened room. My summer acclimatised eyelids and relaxed body attempts to awaken in the rush of the day, a steep change from the ‘jump into bed with me and lets have a cuddle and read a book’ mornings of the last 6 weeks.
When it comes to holidays I have to admit, I’m a hotel person. Or an apartment, a house, or maybe a villa! Basically I usually like four walls and a little bit of luxury thrown in which is something that hasn’t changed since having children. Don’t get me wrong
Oh August how I have loved you! Having a school age child of course means more family time in this month and I guess this will always be the case but we have definitely made the most of it. Although it seems to have gone so fast in a way, a bit of a whirlwind, when I look back at everything we have done I realise that we did fit a lot in.
