I read a post inspiring post the other day on charspillane.com ………. I laughed out loud at the bit about people jumping in leaves and not knowing what’s lurking underneath😁 So true and can totally related.

Everything that could go wrong with this make went wrong. Its not my best and I know why ; I really believed I could make it in an hour and rushed to hit the deadline because…well….I had only an hour before kids got back from school and little ones woke up from their nap.
