Living Each Day of Your Life
“What a wonderful world!”
“Life is for living.”
It’s a great day, a beautiful day;
The kind of day that makes you want to say
“I’m glad that I’m alive”,
I’m happy to be me,
and that’s the way to be … (thanks, Barney).
As much as I liked my children [...]

Our children imitate those they spend time with, are attached to, [...]

Suggestions for new parents
After Baby is Born
1. After 4-6 weeks the answerphone message went: “Thank you for calling Mark and Johanna. We’re probably attending to G… right now. Please ring back in 10 minutes or leave a message after the beep.”
2. Keep all ‘proof of purchase’ barcodes. You never know when a free or cheap ‘something’ might [...]
