Cooking with Mumzy!

Hello friends and readers of the paper. I hope this week finds everyone in happiness and good health. As always life is busy and sometimes, I find myself going at a faster pace than I would like but as I tell my children this is what it is when you enter adult world. I remember about 15 years ago I went to my mom’s house and said, “I am tired of being an adult, wife, parent, I want to come back home, I just need a break”. My mom’s response was, “sweetheart you can’t just come back home you have a home of your own, with your family and sometimes you just have to take a day of and have some me time. It will all be better when you clear your head and get refreshed”. Well, it was good advice, and I took it and went back home and continued as I had for 14 years. What I would give to have one more good conversation with her, I still find myself needing her advice. As always Remember the Little Things, they are precious in our lives.
