Hello my dear friends, I'm sorry things have been extremely quiet the past few weeks (almost 4 weeks) I have been under the weather with bronchial pneumonia. After quite a scare at the hospital and the correct medications I can happily say I am well on the road to full heath, even with me being impatient. Thank you for the well wishes, I really appreciate you all. If there's one take away I have from this experience it has to be, do the things you want to do in life even if you feel anxious about taking the leap. So things will start to get back to full swing in the next few weeks and thank you all so much for sticking around.

We have had so much rain today and I'm so grateful because the garden needed a good soak. So I made this printable of butterflies for you to print and use. I like to use mine for my journal that I've not touched in ages,

Happy Friday I hope you have some fun plans for the weekend, We are quietly celebrating the hubby's birthday and the sun is shining. I'm posting a link to something I have been working on its on Substack and its the other side of me. The salty raw side of post menopause and what's next in my life. So If you want to have a read about the ups and downs of a 64 year old woman navigating life this may be the thing for you. Please don't feel you have to go and read as she's a bit of a rebble. https://open.substack.com/pub/ellieserenitycove/p/i-might-not-change-the-world-but?r=39m565&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

To night i started a little slow stitching block that I may frame. Its all about pink. Our next circle is in 2 weeks time your are most welcome to come and craft and share a space of unity. What's your WIP? (Work in progress)

Happy Monday I hope this week brings you some joy. I'm full of gratitude and excitement as I see we have a group of 20 like minded friends here, that makes me so happy. This week I will be pushing past my discomfort as I launch my mini series on how to have a ferrell summer with young children. ( that's my day job working with my little friends in my home daycare) . What is your most vivid happy memory as a child from your summers? let me know below as we would love to read about them. Mine was eating jam sandwiches outside in the garden on a blanket with my mum, sister and brother our lunch time picnics were so much fun.
