I'm a wee bit narcissistic. I like to look good although you couldn't tell that from my perpetual "in sweatpants and loose tshirts" style but I do like to dress up. Even more so, I like to have a clear complexion and a healthy glow that isn't brought on by a cornucopia of make-up. Sadly,... Continue Reading →
The Portal of Peace
There's a portal that exists within our homes. It hides in plain sight but you pass it by without seeing its charms or the wonders it holds. Even if you open it and enter, the true purpose of it is hidden till you become a parent. Because it is only then that the enchantment is... Continue Reading →
Cabin Fever Blog…
Another post that was left midway, most likely due to household chores and my personal Disruptor! Lockdown mornings are wonderful (read between the lines)! Instead of dragging TO out of bed, I now kind of nudge him till he rolls out and then get him to clean out his eye gunk before he gets online... Continue Reading →
The Non-Social Distancing Playlist
I play music when I head for my bath. And it's usually a shuffled playlist so things stay interesting. In any case, the playlist chose Springsteen's Human Touch and while I love that song, I laughed to myself thinking that it was so, so not right during the time of social distancing and shelter in...

And before all the faces get pinched about taking germs lightly, I'd like to point out that these are all known germs and we've been germing it up long enough so that the... Continue Reading →

You see animal figurines appearing in laundry baskets, inners, the fridge and also the vegetable baskets. The little hooman hides the remote in his school backpack as payback for switching the telly off. There's... Continue Reading →
When I Turned Into A Princess…
And by that I don't mean the Snow Whitey kinds with bluebirds chirping all around me. I mean the Princess Vespa-kinds from Spaceballs. Take a look- So these are the times when I caught myself thinking of certain things and then doing a mental doubletake. While washing the dishes in the utility area today the... Continue Reading →
Talks With My Nutty One
TO often asks me trivia questions especially about animals. Today's query was about a bird whose name starts with P and ends with an N and it lives on an island. I initially said penguin and got an eyeroll for my troubles. Actually I led with pigeon because where don't those little poop machines live?... Continue Reading →
Never A Dull Moment
TO is the gift that keeps giving. Sadly, I don't know how to switch it off! I was helping him out with some comprehension sentences when the name Elizabeth came up. He knows Elizabeth mainly in conjunction with the Queen and Buckingham palace and automatically tacked on "The Queen" in front of the name leading... Continue Reading →
