New Years Eve brought around a new tradition. We sat by the fire and scribbled our one hope and wish for the upcoming year. Mine was simple... 'No more hospital trips for my children." Twin girl smiled and stroked my hand reassuring, BB leaned in for a cuddle, Twin boy sat up as if he had been shot. "I don't think so," he spat. "It's my turn for a hospital break." Clearly the … [Read more...]
