It gives me the warm fuzzies.  With so many things on my shoulders last year, I couldn't cope. This year I have allowed myself to only deal with the things I need.  I have invested so much more energy into my surrounding community, made Mummy friends (an amazing network for me and Darcy to enjoy the company of, turn to in times of need and explore new child-friendly places with), I am much happier with the videos I'm putting up on my main channel (I still want to ...
