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 […]

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 […]

Last Thursday I found myself at the hair therapist’s without a book, and so I picked up People magazine to learn all about Bachelor Brad’s breakup with Emily.
