Amber's Rant:

This is #7 of 52 episodes for 2022! I can't wait for the summer to come along and warm up the lakes so that I can kick my kids out to go swimming – I mean, encourage my lovely children to head outside and get some fresh air!

As much as we love our family, I think right about now is when everyone starts to get a little cranky with one another due to having been stuck inside for most of the winter to avoid the cold, so I would say that it is a good time to remember to do things for yourself. Things like taking a ‘time out' where there are no demands put upon you – or any sort of media or anything so that you have some real quiet, or allowing yourself to enjoy some sort of treat like hot chocolate or ice cream or some good rum! Or even both together!

Also remember to breathe – summer is coming, and we will be able to enjoy the sun that has stayed hidden for so long now very soon!

Rinse and repeat as often as needed.
