Good morning everyone! I didn't sleep last night thanks to hubby's snoring. His gift to me today will be to call the sleep clinic and make an appointment (yes, 1 snore-free night for me). I got out of bed at 4:30. It was snowing but not windy so I went out for a walk, then shovelled the...

Good morning! I have to admit, I'm enjoying the slower paced mornings! I started my 3 month lay-off yesterday, and although I still have to get up early to get the kids up and going, I get to sleep in an extra 20 minutes. AND? I started a fire in the woodstove already with my extra time...
