Every now and then I get a little bit lonely*…… Riley is sick this week and we’ve been sequestered in the house, venturing out only to the chemist or the mail box. Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears…Well, his tears, as he’s crying…
It’s a Sunday afternoon. Both the kids are in bed, asleep at the same time, meaning mum and dad have a few hours of blessed peace. So what do mum and dad do? Head for bed themselves….for a nap. It’s a blessed luxury, when you can get it. Except when we’re hopping into bed, Adam…
I am very excited to present the next mother blogger interview. I stumbled across Wendy and her inspirational blog pretty much the same week I first began mine, and have since taken pleasure in the motivation she inspires and her support for all others.

I see flashes of swirly skirts and tiaras everywhere: whether it be on bed linen, clocks, books, clothes, or backpacks. I am beginning to believe that lurid…
This week’s interviewee is Kelly over at Thrifty Mommy. This site, like others I subscribe too, help us all with tips and great ideas to cut down the expenses in our lives. Because kids or no kids, life’s not cheap. Kelly and Karen do a great job. Now I’ll hand it over to Kelly! Thank…
