Being born blind isn't as bad as some people think because when you are born blind, you don't know any different, it's just part of me.

As a mum, along with the million other hats I wear, I rarely get time to just chill and do nothing. In Summer, we’re fortunate enough to live quite near the beach so I will drive down there and recharge my batteries when the kids are at school but during...
