I have been consumed by the story and find myself wondering about Elsbeth at odd moments during the day and craving the cold silence of night time so I can read, read, read. It’s lovely to have found that interest again, but the 3am bedtimes are causing havoc. Are you a reader? What are you […]
Burning Question – What do wish you could do more of with your kids?
As we fill these holiday days with anything and everything to get us out of the renovation chaos I find myself amazed at how much the kids can pack into a day. Me? Well I don’t seem to have as much stamina as I once did. After a solid five hours at the zoo yesterday […]
What Kind of Undies do you Wear?
Knickers? Drawers? Undies? Panties? Jocks? Bloomers? G-strings? Bog Catchers? What do you call them and what kind do you wear? I’ve had a long standing lover affair with a particular brand of undies, but lately they just haven’t been cutting the mustard. I am not sure if they have changed the cut slightly, or if […]

Burning Question – Do You Pay Your Child for Chores?
Our girls are seven and a half and they LOVE money. They are so incredibly motivated by the idea of getting money and spending money. They spend hours pouring over junk mail, discussing what they would spend their money on. They spend hours counting their cash and dreaming up ways to earn more. They argue […]
Burning Question – What would you buy?
I have a little bit of birthday money to spend on myself. Not a lot, not enough for a lap top or a new car, but a little bit, to spend on me, just me. But the burning question is – what do I spend it on?? Something I need? Something I’d get lots of […]
