๐Ÿ’ป Guess whoโ€™s got a ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ? Oh yes, that is me. Over 3 years of hard work has led me to this and I feel so proud of myself.

But my certificate is en routeโ€ฆ the hard work is done. I wouldnโ€™t have been able to do this if it wasnโ€™t for my employer giving me time to study and Hubby for giving me the space to work into the evenings and weekends. Itโ€™s a lot of time. And I will be forever grateful. โฃ โฃ I love learning and itโ€™s something Iโ€™ve always wanted to do, as I left uni at 20 without my ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐˜„ degree.

How romance has changed over the centuries

By Posted on 10 Comments

For the vast majority of people it is probably still true to say that love and marriage go together, though the horse and carriage have mostly disappeared from the equation! But it would be equally true to say that our attitudes towards love, marriage and dating have changed greatly over time. VIEW the POST

Bonjour!

Bonjour!

I'm Sonia, and this is my creative space. I love writing about what we do as a family, what I do as a Mummy & what we are doing to our family home.
