This morning the world is white and grey, snow falling and the colour of the sky perfectly matching that of the ground. Jake has the sniffles, my husband had a cortisone shot in his shoulder on Friday and hence has been rendered the one-armed man (wasn’t there a show about that?), I am running the book […]
Give your mother a kiss or I’ll kick your teeth in.

Happy Robbie Burns Day! I was telling the boys about Robbie Burns Day today, explaining the celebratory nature – in a modified way – and about their Scottish ancestry. Jake was getting more and more agitated and more and more defiant about it, when he burst out “We are not in Scotland, Mom! We are […]
Post-Christmas Cleaning Binge
December 26, 2011 by
Did you have a good Christmas? I’m relieved to tell you that Mark recovered enough to enjoy Christmas Eve and Christmas morning, although he was somewhat exhausted by yesterday evening – but then, shouldn’t we all be exhausted by then?

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 […]

It snowed today! The little dusting is, I believe, positively correlated with the comment I made yesterday regarding the unbelievable fact that we had made it through September AND October with no snow.
