Some random things about Moose
“If you need lip balm I always have some in my back pocket, I believe this is the reason my husband married me.
I feel naked if I don’t have a pencil and a sketchbook handy.
We lived in Bangladesh for 2 years where we tasted sugar cane, wore loose light clothing and enjoyed the beauty of big family love !! Now I live by the sea with my American husband and our two daughters. The rest of our family are scattered all over the planet including Pakistan, India and America.
I spend a lot of money on walking boots but hardly anything on face cream – luckily my eldest daughter always has some spare for me to use.
Congratulations !! You are one of the 16% who read to the end of a About page” Moose
