We will be completing a year in the new place or in the "new house" as MLM still calls it. He's very clear it isn't 'home' but the new house but I know it's become home for us all. I took the longest to settle in of the three of us. Red and the brat... Continue Reading →
Partial Year-End Review
2014 has been an interesting year by all accounts. We settled into a new place. I screamed at people who didn't deliver on the specified timelines. A LOT. We've seen the brat learn more and shock/surprise/amuse (take your pick) us to no end! We've caught up with family on important occasions after a long while.... Continue Reading →
It’s A Wormy Friday Morning
This morning MLM and his father saved a wiggly worm. It was in a pool of water and unmoving and to me it seemed like a piece of bark but my kid knew different. He wanted to see it move and have it taken out of a potentially watery grave and Red obliged. This is... Continue Reading →
The Perils of Callow Youth
I don't know what has changed me more: growing up didn't do much but becoming a parent sure did. And hearing about what goes on in the world around us on a daily basis is one shocker after another. This post may make me sound over the hill and preachy but it still stands because... Continue Reading →
My Son: The Superhero Decapitator
I'd caught up with a friend for a belated celebration of her birthday at a kiddy place house-cum cafe. She's specifically kept it in a child-friendly place so the moms would be able to take their eyes off their offspring and just kick back and relax. Erm...yeah. Sure. Why not? It wasn't a complete disaster... Continue Reading →
Kids: The Beauty Of The Little People
Witnessed two separate instances of candid and unadulterated (excuse the pun) kiddy behavior yesterday. Enjoy reading about them. I enjoyed experiencing them: Scenario 1: Last evening at the play area MLM and another little friend of his got into a tiff which seemed to be escalating to epic proportions. Well epic differs from people to... Continue Reading →
Confessions of a SAHM
Gather around...this will not be repeated for the fear of an epidemic of husbands dumping more work on frazzled wives and especially the SAHMs. I'm going to share the secrets of the sisterhood with you but hush now and come closer and read quickly because this post will self-destruct in 1 minute! We like doing... Continue Reading →
Parenting Diaries: Lying…When To Be Concerned
MLM by and large is a fairly manageable child. He's NOT docile neither does he stop and listen every single time but he's not been sneaky or sly very often. He celebrated his 5th birthday over the weekend and I found some of the toys brought out during the party had suspicious chunks taken out... Continue Reading →
Shutter Happy#7
Once upon a time. A slightly borderline woman bought a nice camera. And promptly crossed the border.Here are things her eyes viewed.
The Perils of Healthy Living
The biggest irk about "healthy living" is when it's forced down your throat by someone who thinks they (meaning the rest of the family) ought to change their eating habits. Recently Red went on a road trip with a childhood friend who has embraced healthier options in his life vis-a-vis his eating habits. This individual... Continue Reading →
