It’s been a while since we last caught up on how much progress we’re making on heading out on our adventure in a couple months.  I wish I could reveal…

Every single time that I look at the Calendar I get a fright.  How is it possible that we are already more than half way through March?  We are seriously…

Is that not the most angelic little face you’ve ever seen?  I just can’t. This picture was taken when he was sick a couple weeks ago.  I’d taken the day…

What a flipping crazy month this August has been.  It honestly feels like I’ve tried to cram 3 months of work into one and all while trying to juggle the…

We are deep in the throes of birthday month which is historically a bit of an emotional time for me.  I mean dealing with two out of three babies growing…

It feels so weird to be sitting back behind my computer screen again, catching up on work, drowning in emails, fielding school requests and rolling my eyes at social media.…

Jeepers people. Are you feeling like I’m feeling?  I don’t even know if I can express this in words without letting my ignorance hang out, so I won’t even try.…

Well Hello Friday! This morning I finally woke up to my third alarm (yes, I have to have three because I love sleep and I don’t like getting up, so…

Just had such a surreal moment. We’d just come back from The Playshed and were sitting watching Matilda when I started trying to work.  This isn’t usually a problem, but…

We are one-fifth of the way in to what could easily be the busiest week ever. In this week alone we are squishing in 3 concerts, a graduation, a karate…

Yoh. Slap me sideways and call me Sally.  We had such a crazy busy week last week that if you had in fact called me Sally, I would have answered…

  There are many things that I feel that I’ve managed to perfect in this life – a good cup of coffee (the milk and coffee go in before the…

I may have just ploughed my way through 4 cups of coffee since waking up this morning, so forgive me if I spew words out that seem a little like…

What a draining week it’s been. Why?  Well, I’m not sure exactly.  The kids are all fine, Seth is recovering from his cold and by all other means that one…

Hello?!  Is there anyone out there? I’ve kinda lost track of what day or time or year it is, the holidays are flipping great, but it’s really messing with my…

Having one of those days where I feel like I could just write endless streams on consciousness but the words would be confusing and weird for anyone else trying to make…

Oh hello there! I’ve missed you like a squirrel misses his nuts.  Or more relate-ably, I’ve missed you like a mother misses her sleep!  So I thought I’d start off…

I have so much I want to get out of me and into words on this space, but they just don’t want to flow.  And when they do, I don’t…

This week started out with so much promise. And then it slowly started going downhill from there.  No real reason why, except that maybe I’m just a little bit hormotional…

Oh hey Monday.  How did you get here so quickly. No wait, that looks too excited.

What a crazy week! This week has been filled with remarkably high highs and incredibly low lows.  But isn’t that how life goes?  It’s always a little bit bittersweet. We’ve…

My current state: Dreaming about warm socks, warming my hands by the fire, squeezy hugs, cuddling under blankets, a hot bowl of soup with a lekker slice of bread with…

Flip, I’m struggling with this week. The last two mornings have been rough.  Yesterday Riya had a 10 minute tantrum in front of all the parents at the school –…
