Things I learnt in September

September was a time to reflect:

1- I need to slow down when I feeling sick( Duhh). I am not the first mom and won't be the last to overstretch herself. However, I am now making a conscientious choice to slow down and be present in the moment.

2- Read, read and write.... Yes, I need something else than just Homeschooling and the family will be better for it:)

3-Pray and exercises are precious moment not to be ignore. Busy schedule, school to teach, kid activities can take over . I noticed a difference when I take the time to pray and walk, my children might even join me.

4- Finally, it is not easy to reach out to people but like the old song says" It is a beautiful world "

Smile!

A bientot !

refurnish your sink

When we moved into our new house, I loved our custom sink . What I didn't love was that it was 20 years old , all scracht up and almost impossible to replace. The easiest solution was to have it refurbished. This has to be done by professional. A porceleine sink will first be sanded , then painted, holes,scratches will be putted.

It is well worth it.
