Adam was most aggrieved the other day when he read my post about Cheerios and Froot Loops. “They do not taste the same, and I’m going to go buy a box of both to prove it!” So yesterday I was subjected to a blind taste-test, where which I learned that, indeed, they do not taste…
There’s less than an hour until Harry Potter #7 is released. I’m reporting to you live from the place I’m to pick it up from. I’m sipping an extra large coffee and feeling slightly giddy because I am here sans husband and children. They opted out at the last minute; begging off due to the…
Karen: Do you want to get dressed up when we pick up the new Harry Potter book on Saturday morning? Would you like to be a wizard? Keira (wrinkling her nose): I don’t like wizards. I want to be a fairy. Karen (secretly dismayed, but putting on a brave face): How about you dress up…
Riley didn’t have a breastfeed tonight. I think the time has come to let nursing go. He is almost 16 months now. He did well; coped okay: until I’ve just put him down for bed and he’s realised I’m not joking. The chest patting and the groping weren’t a good enough hint. Sorry buddy, I’m…

This past weekend we put our electric blanket on our bed. I should state for the record that, honestly, we really don’t need it. We don’t. We’ve done quite well these past few years without it. This year is different. We have decided we MUST have total comfort 100% of the time we are in…
Wild weather in Victoria, eh? We’re not flooding* but the rain has been wonderful. What I liked especially was this low pressure system came in from the east. The east! Unheard of! I keep looking up in the sky, waiting for Mary Poppins. The kids, bugger it, are sick. How can I tell apart from…
Yesterday, we were at the shops and having our customary muffin and coffee stop-off. Riley proceeded to take a gigantic bite out of a plastic spoon and half of it snapped off in his mouth.
