For anyone that isn’t following me on blog.sandramadeira.com, why not hop over and have a look at a selection of the 366 posts that show my daily decluttering and clearing progress … Continue reading
As this book suggests, it is for readers of all ages. I’m 51 and I thoroughly enjoyed it; however, it could easily be read to children. I’d absolutely be reading this to my girls at bedtime if they weren’t teenagers now. Might even suggest it this week and see if they are up for it … Continue reading

I’m shocked that I’ve not posted on this site for almost eleven months, but I’m now back! My excuse is that I was working on my non-fiction book Juggling Life, Kids & You which I am pleased to say is with the copy-editor and due back any day now.
