Sunny Side Up Sunday

Hello Dear Reader,

Today I am grateful for the upbringing our Mum and Dad gave us. Mum always involved us in the housework and cooking. Even as a very young child I can remember helping Mum make her double bed and cream the butter and sugar for cakes using the rotary beater. As teenagers we vacuumed and mopped the house on weekends and were expected to wash and wipe up after dinner. We helped with the grocery shop every week too. It didn't hurt us one little bit, in fact it gave us important life tools to cope with real life.

Mum made my first Ballroom Dancing dress and did my hair

Mum was quite "old fashioned" something I really didn't enjoy at the time, petticoats, singlets, famine home made clothes and foam rollers for curled hair were a big part of our lives. But looking back we were always beautifully dressed and cared for. Mum often dressed us as twins, sewing the clothes herself, what a woman.

Mum also made our school uniforms while we lived in Gympie

What are you grateful for today?

Have a lovely day,
💗Fi
