My home aka the place where t.v remotes go to die. They seem to plummet from a high place with unfailing regularity and sadly there's no safety net in sight...sigh. Is there also a subsription model for buying t.v remotes? I guess am averaging a few one every quarter!
The Dafuq Bloglet
Last night I'd asked TO to do one of his usual chores and he did; while holding firmly onto the tv remote. And I, being a person to *never* let a snarky quip pass me by, told him that once he grew up and if he had kids, would have to eventually put the remote... Continue Reading →
Kids Say#1
I was looking at a picture of a tardigrade because ever since the Octonauts educated TO about them, he returned the favor by educating me and I have never got over how tiny and cute the "water bears" are. TO is still very light on his feet and can creep up almost noiselessly (unless he's... Continue Reading →
Hug It Out
Am not the nicest mother- it has to be said. More like the willling bad-cop who thinks that telling it like it is never hurt anyone.

And while this irritant has raised its annoying head on and off, there are certain days when the peeve gets elevated to a different status: in ALL CAPS, bold, italicised and underlined for good measure!...

In Livin’Color
I first colored my hair while in the fag end of my 30s. It wasn't to cover up the greys (which am convinced are a sum total of the number of years I've been married and how old TO is) but to see if a different color was my thing. It was. And while my... Continue Reading →
It’s Only Words…
Everyone grows up with the lingo of their generation; usually ingrained in their youth. It's a mix of slangs, colloquialism and often, as is typical with kids, some amount of neologisms as well. TO and I have been spending quite a bit of time together in the last two months since his summer break started.... Continue Reading →
