I miss the big comfy chair where I used to fall asleep meditating every night.
Morning Tea Routine - A Little Taste of Home
Joel and I are not coffee drinkers usually. We do have a morning cup of tea - every morning. It's our daily morning routine.

It's a big step for me to let my children grow up and move out! Though I think I've been handling it well and am very proud of them, it's very emotional also. … Continue reading
