i love rainy days

Welcome to my little corner of the internet where I have been blogging since 2007. This site has had different names, depending on the focus at the time but its essence has always been the same. I love to share my experiences, good and bad, in different aspects of my life. Whether it has been sharing the joys of motherhood, the review of a disappointing book, the frustrations of day-to-day life, or the simple happiness found in a good cup of tea, you’ll find all of that here. Pour yourself a cup of your favorite beverage and stay a while!
