Tonight was the first night in the last 16 days of blogging that I’ve thought “ugh” when the reminder popped up to blog tonight. There have been other days that I’ve nearly forgotten (hence the daily reminder) but have been relieved I haven’t missed a day. Today I feel tired and uninspired. So I’m just…
Continue reading →The last two Mother’s Days in particular have been kind of awesome for me. You can read about them here and here. To be honest, I didn’t want to have any expectations leading in to today, as that can often lead to disappointment, so I kept calm and hoped for the best! The morning was…
Continue reading →It’s 8:15pm on a Saturday night. I have a yummy glass of bubbly and a full tummy after homemade pizzas for dinner. I can hear Marty cleaning up in the kitchen and singing along to the music that is playing. It’s currently a Tay-Tay song and hearing him is making me smile. Chance is at…

Continue reading →The award for the best photobomb of all time goes to my sister-in-law aka Aunty Kate. Taken by Frith, circa 2014 at a wedding we attended with 11 week old future Darby in my belly. The timing, the height, the expression, the coincidental outfit coordination. Absolute gold. This is still one of my favourite photos…
Continue reading →On my old blog, I used to do a 10 things on the 10th post each month* for a while there, and I thought I’d resurrect it for my month of blogging. I was going to do a fairly obvious one of “10 things I am currently grateful for” but we all know what those…
Continue reading →I’m sitting on the couch with Marty, after watching a couple of episodes of Brooklyn 99, and it just occurred to me that I haven’t blogged today. It’s been another busy day around here and time just got away from me. I have a couple of half-written posts that aren’t quite ready to publish, and…
Continue reading →This one was a particularly hard project for me. If Gran hadn’t come over, there’s no way it would have gotten done. Even with Gran here, I spent a good half an hour umming and aahing (and sighing) and not wanting to get into it. In the past I have generally just dumped everything onto…
Continue reading →Let me just start by saying how sorry I am. For the past 33 years, since the age of 10, I have looked upon you over and over again in sadness and shame and frustration, seeing all the things you are not, instead of seeing you for all the good things that you are. I…
Continue reading →Ugh. The Lego Room. Yes I’m extremely grateful that we have a dedicated Lego room, but a) it’s not as though Lego is confined only to the Lego room (if only!!) and b) I’ve spent the past four years trying to keep it in some semblence of order. There are many before and after shots…
