I don’t think its possible to put into words one of the best summers of my life, even now, after 2 months. So, here’s a little montage to remind us all how AMAZING the Olympics in London really were. (I had a lump in my throat watching!) (sorry guys, you need to watch it on … Continue reading
Does anyone remember life before Facebook and Twitter? When I was in college, back in the day, many moons ago, we had social networking, we didn’t have great internet but we still managed to communicate with each other online. I had Myspace (does anyone still use it anymore? Ever?) and Blackplanet. (oh god, I thought … Continue reading
My daughter is crazy. I’m gonna assume all kids are a little weird? She says the most random, most wonderful, most ridiculous things – below is an example of some of the things she has said in the last 24 hours. “I’m not getting a tattoo now” (random comment in the morning before breakfast.) “I’m … Continue reading
Today we went into town for the first time. (Well, we went the other day too but only to a shopping mall for an hour to get my phone sorted.) Anyway, I love Lyon already, we had such an amazing day walking around taking in the sights, it didn’t even bother me that the shops … Continue reading

So, this is me, no frills – I feel naked without makeup, I wear it every day, I’m at a stage in my life that I don’t think its possible for me to leave the house without my “face” on. I hate that I use that phrase as it sounds pathetic, and I never thought … Continue reading
Everyone asks me “Hows married life treating you?” Well, my husband left me (to play in a wee volleyball tournament) a few days after we got married, SO married life is the exact same as life before marriage. Mark will be tired of me going on about this but I am so ready to get to … Continue reading
A while back I wrote the article “Baby Led Weaning” explaining how we chose to feed Little Miss. I included a video that I put on youtube when she was about 6 1/2 months. Over the past few weeks I’ve had quite a few comments on the video, most are quite positive, (it’s on there … Continue reading
