July was a good month for us, mostly! It flew over which is to be expected with Ellie being off college for her summer break, getting ready for 2 birthdays this month and one at the start of September and towards the end of the month job hunting for Stu and Ellie.
I have seen many people on social media list something every day that they are grateful for and thought I would join in. I did this for the whole of the last couple of years and it has really made me realise that even on the bad day's I have something to be grateful for.
