The toughest thing I find at times is to explain to MLM what something actually is. Since he lacks the experience and often the vocabulary, it's a bit challenging to think of ways to get him to understand it in a manner that satisfies him or makes sense to him.

We Are Home To Mr.NO & Mr. IT’s MINE!

Those that get swept under the rug or get the short shrift aren't necessarily the ones we may not have... Continue Reading →

You don't know when you'll be sucker punched or melt in a puddle of treacly sweet mushiness; all by the actions of the person you call... The Offspring!

2013 In Retrospect- Part I
December is the default time of the year to retrospect. The regrets start off from the hangover on 1st January itself. But this has been a BIG year for us as a family. A BIG year.
