The Abrupt Arrival of Winter
At 3am the storm hit - hail and thunder, pounding rain. And with it came the cold. Shortly after, my 4 year old clambered into our bed, feet and hands like ice blocks. Winter had announced its arrival. We knew it was coming of course. But the glorious long summer that we had been enjoying disappeared in… Continue reading The Abrupt Arrival of Winter

I apparently missed the memo reminding me to go to… Continue reading National Haircut Day

Well actually my boys caught me frowning. I was unashamedly impatient. In that moment, a song then came to mind. A song from my childhood,… Continue reading Traffic jams and a lesson in patience

Since I had to come to… Continue reading Invisible
Beautiful Weeds
As we turned into our driveway, it seemed that my son and I noticed the length of the lawn at the same time. We had two very different reactions though. Mine was the obvious one - make mental note to talk to hubby about mowing the lawns! My 6 year old's was to shout gleefully… Continue reading Beautiful Weeds
