Mother's Day: was mine perfect? No way. There were still bums to wipe, lunches to pack for the next day, temper tantrums to endure and sibling fights to break up. But there was also Eggs Benedict on a sunny patio. And homemade gifts. And a nap. And the three beautiful girls who have made me … [Read more...]

Things that motherhood is.
I just pulled a piece of linty grilled cheese out from under the sofa. There is banana stuck to everything. At least Spouse found the queen and Raided those ants dead. We didn't used to live like this. Motherhood has been, for me, an exercise in waiving expectations, of shrugging off the … [Read more...]
FotoFriday – SandHands
I spend my days with toddlers. My days are often messy and loud and sometimes a little stinky and exhausting. And I like it. I found this on my lap the other day at work and it made me miss the tiny hand prints that used to smudge my windows and furniture. I still have hand and fingerprints … [Read more...]

Flashbacks From High School
This Saturday is my 25th High School reunion. Nothing formal. Bar night. Excuse to drink too much and share memories from a quarter century ago.

Return of the Jedi
One of the best things about being a parent is passing stuff on to your children like lessons, advice, knowledge, life skills and most importantly your old toys. On Saturday I had the pleasure of handing over one of my most prized possessions to my 2 young boys - my old Star Wars figurines. … [Read more...]
No comparison
Tasman scored his first soccer goal last night. It was purposeful gain of the ball, cutting to the centre of the field in front of the goal and blasting a left footer in the top corner. The keeper never had a chance. He bounded toward me like he just scored the game winner in the World Cup Final. … [Read more...]
