The title being a tongue twister the girls and i invented the other week, to try and help the younger ones sort out their F and Th sounds. Maddy is trying so hard she calls Fran “Thran” half the time!! Trying to blog every day in whistle stop fashion. So today started with Fran and […]

Got up insanely early and blogged while sort of helping Max get ready for a day that was going to involve packing 400+ orders. Christmas is coming!!!
