Riding In The Car With A Boy

I don't have to drive my kid around much since he started going to grade school 2 years ago. By the time he gets home it's usually late afternoon and then he snacks, plays, does his homework or has play dates in the community we live in so we seldom step out during weekdays. On...

After A Hiatus…

It has been 22 days since I last blogged or even created a draft. I wish there was a reason for this kind of a gap but there isn't anything except for me being unable to gather my thoughts. And now that the thoughts are gathering, it's akin to a storm brewing. So I had... Continue Reading →

Retroblog

7 years ago I published this bit of rant (scroll down) on Facebook notes. I was more than halfway into my first year as a mother and the mini muffin was an adorable individual who was just getting into his groove as a tiny human hurricane.

How else can one explain the most prim and proper of "aunties" who is carrying enough weight... Continue Reading →

All My Pretty Possessions

I love my stuff. I love getting new things. I like discovering how they work, am ecstatic when they work the way they're supposed to and most of all I love how it makes me feel when I use them. My all time favorites have been books and cameras...of course I keep buying knickknacks that... Continue Reading →

The Malady of Summer Holidays

I've noticed that there's a strange and inexplicable condition that happens to kids, especially mine over the summer holidays. They become deaf, louder, motor movements mimic being like marionettes with their strings cut or like mini Boomerang videos. Polar opposites but somehow they seem to be able to switch between them effortlessly enough. The specific... Continue Reading →
