My journey into the darkside ...

Posted 8 months ago

The broken champagne glasses and plastic party plates were still in the minivan this morning, when disheveled and bleary eyed I managed to take my teens to school.

This year I have decided to replace our traditional Christmas tree with a more contemporary item – the Christmas Ladder !
