I will be flicking through old photos and I think, “Wow – my son does resemble me a little.” He’s not pure Adam after all.
We held an intimate, but nevertheless fun, Halloween party on Saturday night. Here are some of the photos: Adam drew some scary pictures which we hung on the wall. I made Halloween cupcakes (and by the way, since when did red and yellow make a funny shade of pink? No matter how I tried they…
I have never been sentimental when it comes to cutting my son’s hair. It’s always been a case of buzz cuts all round, please. The shorter the better. In fact, that inserted link points back to the last time Riley had a haircut. I’ve avoided giving him one this year. At first it was because he simply…
I’m keeping the photo-heavy, content-lite direction of the blog this week; not intentionally though, for I have a lot to say, just not enough time to write.

On it there are questions like “What do you want your school to…
Update: Point (1) has been modified slightly. An AusWomBlogCon? (Ideas for a proper name rather than an abbreviation are welcome!) Yes, I’ve talked about this before (in this post – in the comments) but guess what? This time I’m serious. So serious in fact I need to make a decision in the next 36 hours…
I will be embarking next month on my first ever fun run: specifically, the Eltham Fun Run 2009. As I’m not in the shape I once was I thought, oh, I’ll dip my toe in slowly, do the 5km and see how that goes. Then maybe sometime in the future I’d give the 10km a…
