Word of the Week 20/06/14 – Laundry

20/06/201431/05/2018
Laundry - this week's word of the week

Being back from holiday means facing an inevitable mountain of laundry.     Thank goodness for washing machines and good weather.

Baby Sophie sitting in her Bumbo with Jessica giving her a kiss

I'm Louise, mummy of three - Jessica, forever six, who was born with half a heart and lives on in mine; and heart-healthy Sophie (born 2013) and Thomas (born 2018). I blog about living with grief after child loss, crafts, days out and the little moments of family life.
