The book fair is finished now, much to my relief. By the end of it I pretty much hated children, a sentiment not unlike the one I used to get when I waitressed in university and would, after working a certain number of shifts in a row, hate the entire human race. By the end […]

November 14, 2011 by
I have a little something something up at the Yummy Mummy Club – and I would be so happy if you popped over there to read it. If you were so inclined to leave a comment, I would be VERY happy. xo I wrote all about living in the moment and enjoying the present, which […]
Red Poppies
November 11, 2011 by
Every November, I wear a red poppy. I believe in peace, I believe in diplomacy, but I also believe that the world and its problems are coloured in shades of grey, and so I do not wear a white poppy. I am a peaceful person. I believe that I promote peace, understanding, and compassion in […]

This is my 400th post! Four hundred posts! I certainly have had a LOT to say. Maybe I should start writing something meaningful, like those people who spout nothing but inspirational sayings. After all, the other day I was having a cup of Yogi brand tea, and on the teabag it said “The only tool […]
