The better half was away this weekend with the brother-in-law so I decided to have someme-time and do some things I enjoy (i.e. no cooking, no making chappati’s and no housework). So I let the kids stay up, we watched Robin Hood Prince of Theives (the very bad but very enjoyable Kevin Costner version), ate […]

On the advice of a green-fingered friend I thought it was about time to dig up the potatoes I planted early this year. The kids gave me a helping hand (of sorts) and Little Lady insisted on taking a broom to the garden. We managed to bring in quite a few and they are just […]

Bride’s mum has had a tiff with my mum-in-law, mum-in-law refused to go to brides relatives wedding and then decided not to invite them to brother-in-laws wedding. My […]

A child’s education is always on a mother’s mind and it is something that has crossed my mind intermittently since before the birth of my first child. Of course we want the best for them and we are blessed to have so many options available to us. But how do we ensure we are making […]
