This will be me next year when I will have all 4 big kids at full-time school (I'm not including the baby who is many many years off School yet!). I hope you have really enjoyed your week and given yourself a big pat on the back for all the hard work of getting them to this new stage of their lives.

It kinda feels like I am starting a new journey finding bits of myself again that's so easily lost being mum.
