It was a super stressful day for my household, for reasons I won’t go into. Things worked out well in the end, thankfully, but it was really hard, with a lot of  anxiety and tears. We celebrated good outcomes with ice cream at our new favourite haunt in town – 48 Flavours, which lives up to its name by being delicious and having 48 options to anguish over choosing. We all got home around 5pm and the lot of us promptly went back to bed for a couple of hours of sleep or rest. 

This evening we are recharging with pasta and hazelnut chocolate and chai lattes in front of a Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows marathon. Baby girl is kicking, the heater is keeping us warm, and the critters are dozing peacefully. Star is sketching, Rose has been cooking and preparing drinks for us, and I’m getting notifications that people are buying my prints through my Etsy shop, which is making me a little teary all over again, although that’s also because Dobby just died. 

It’s very peaceful here. I love my little family. ❤
