We are 6 months into our new life now. Happy anniversary to us! 6 months ago we drove away from our life, no jobs, and no idea of what would be ahead of us other than good feelings that it […]
You probably know by now my fascination and dedication to our little fowl friends. Yes, they are a bit stinky, but they have personalities you could never have imagined and the egg bounty is mind blowing. So, today’s reality cheque […]
I was thinking back to our “before days” today. The days when we were on the cusp of making this change, where there seemed so much that could go wrong, and the unknown was terrifying. I was thinking of the […]
Oh thank god. School started again today. I hate to complain, I really do. I understand how fortunate I am to have these lovely children, I do, but after 2 and a half weeks . . . they didn’t seem […]
A new year and we are all snuggle in at home dreaming of sunny beaches and warm sand. Now, just imagine if you were ON the beach, feet IN the sand. There is a reduced listing for a quick sale […]
I am one of those “dorks” who thrive on the Christmas holidays. We have the music a-playing and the cookies a-baking and our home is filled with jolly spirits and good cheer! Now, in a new town and a new […]
We don’t have tv where we are. I mean, we have A tv – it just doesn’t get anything other than netflix. Nor do we get a newspaper, or have a radio playing news. We get media updates from the […]

We are back home now, after our amazing St. Lucia holiday. It was wonderful to get away, be warm and relax, but it has also been just as wonderful to get home again. Just about 6 months ago we started […]
To pay me back for guest posting on her site, the amazing Kyla of Mommy’s weird sent me this . . . as she said to me when thinking up a post that writing here might be a nice change […]
Airplane travel with kids isn’t supposed to be fun . . . just like long car journeys, hair brushing and visits to the dentist; it is one of those necessary evils in life. I mean, even a single person, off on an […]
Okay, okay. . . I know Fifty Shades of Grey: Book One of the Fifty Shades Trilogy wasn’t literary genius . . but it was a pretty hawt read for us busy, exhausted moms who just want to imagine a simpler time […]
I am sitting here, by the fire, as the three kids play upstairs, and I am lost in thought. Hubby has been away working for two weeks and is back tonight. Thank god. He is back tonight. It was a […]
Oh my. Already 50 posts in our new life. Plus the 40 something from our old life . . . Time for some reflection, I think, especially since I am currently away & lounging in the sunshine! 1. I look […]
