September is here. The new school year is beginning and we, mums, are already thinking of juggling after-school schedules, our family meals and our careers.
I love the whole Back to School atmosphere. It reminds me of the smell of freshly printed notebook and new books. I still feel emotional about it as I have great memories of going shopping for these items for a new school year with my…
My 7 year old son loves making bread. He loves eating it. We all love eating bread in any shape or form or type of flour. We love experimenting with the ingredients too.
