We have seen a recent trend in Families and Nannies texting each other. There is no doubt texting has become a popular way of communicating.

That said there is a time and place for texting.

First you make and freeze coloured ice cubes in a tray. Red is nice but a combo of blue/yellow/green looks fab!
