So, a family walks into a park with a chicken and two ducks, and a platter of cheese and crackers. . . kind of sounds like the start of a bad joke, doesn’t it? In fact, it was our saturday […]
We are slowly adapting to rural living. Kind of. Well, maybe not. We love the chickens, and the eggs, but still have a lot to learn. Especially the 7yr old. She is an amazing nurturer, and loves those chickens and […]
From dawns cracking until he closes his eyes at night, our little boy fills every single moment, nay second, of the day, with words. It’s great? At 3 and a little bit his vocabulary is extensive, he has descriptive words, […]
We really love our chickens, but sometimes feel the need to mock the cockerel. I mean, come on . . . how can you NOT? He’s just so serious!
I oozed happiness last night. Just oozed. Chatting with hubby I said how great the day was. I mentioned that in all my time with him, what we did today was always there on the “family bucket list” And bucket […]
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 […]
It has been 6 (maybe more) months since I have run. It has been 6 (maybe more) months since I have done any real exercise really. I mean, we moved – that’s exercise! All that lifting and packing! And we […]

We don’t have cable here, which is awesome! I never liked wasting time with all the commercials, and being sucked into one show after another, after another, after another. But we do have netflix. First I found “Being Erica” It […]
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 […]
You know those moments, in the midst of chaos, where you have a little love affair with your family? I am in one of those moments now. The girls are building Lego, the dude is giggling and dancing in the […]
We dropped the kiddies off at school this morning, and Si to daycare. Hubby and I, together, finally. We have been on this island 10 weeks, and today is the first real day, wide open ahead of us, that we […]
I have always had mixed feelings about going on holiday. Don’t get me wrong, I love to travel, and I want to do more of it. I love taking my kids to new places and having them experience in the […]
