A kid gets a cold and a mother's world spins out of whack!
Ode To A Hot Cuppa Tea
Coffee rejuvenates. It brings us back from the dead but there's a (uplifting) magic in a hot cup of tea as well. Picture this- a clear tawny liquid that you can see straight through. Add a healthy squeeze of lemon and some slivers of ginger into the mix and you have a hot, tangy sip... Continue Reading →
Will You Be My Whale?
Outside of the ocean and the ocean parks, Vegas and the other Meccas of gambling probably love the word whales as much as little kids do. Of course the meaning differs but the word whale brings a lot of different things to mind depending upon who is saying it and why. Associate a woman with... Continue Reading →

It's been a while since we introduced anything new in the eating line-up and frankly I was a little antsy about doing more stuff at home.

Movie Review: Inside Out
All that glitters is not gold and every animated flick isn't just a kiddy movie.

That it's animated is just the icing on the... Continue Reading →

Been visiting my folks back in my hometown. It's kind of become an annual trip during the brat's summer holidays. It's part torture and part relaxation but the fun comes and goes. I say that because the concept of fun not only changes from person to person but sometimes even from day-to-day. One day locking yourself... Continue Reading →
There’s A Dinosaur In My Bra!
No. I'm not high. Yes, I wish I was. And yes, I have a child. Ergo the weird things ending up where they ideally ought not to. Sitting down and finding a clothes pin jammed up in your butt crack is passe. Stepping on Batman and theoretically emasculating him when you get up to pee... Continue Reading →
