I’ve always wanted lots of kids, but my age and our small house, and limited income made me question that dream. Working, homeschooling and juggling two active kids, … Continue reading The waiting days…

Mermaids and worm farms
Two seemingly unrelated topics which merged today. Before my husband left for work, my toddler gave us each a maraca. We had an impromptu crazy dance and shake session.

True Love
Love and self-denial for the object loved go hand-in-hand.

You May have heard of the Carrot Detective…
He get's to root of every case. Okay so I'm terrible at 'Dad jokes'. But I loved harvesting our little crop of carrots and a few new potatoes that randomly popped up. We have worked hard at some of our raised beds and these guys loved our old sandpit shells that we turned into raised … Continue reading You May have heard of the Carrot Detective…
