A Real Humdinger – A Household Tip
First off, let me just say how much I enjoy the word “humdinger”. It is truly a fantastic, stupendous word. One might even go so far as to say, a real humdinger of a word! Then again, maybe it’s just me. What I don’t fully understand is why it generally has to be preceded by … Read more
Not Really My Thing
Last week, when we went to the beach and I neglected to tote along my bazooka, and I mentioned that we had some awkward encounters. Really? You don’t remember this? Well perhaps you should speak to your doctor about memory-loss. Seriously, it was less than a week ago that I brought this up, and how … Read more
“Hide” and Seek
Yesterday, prior to supper, Mama and the kids were playing “hide” and seek. The reason I put the word “hide” in quotation marks is apparent if you’ve ever played this game with preschoolers. If you haven’t had the pleasure, I shall explain, as best I can, the tactics used by small children: First off, they … Read more
I Thought This was Behind Us
As I recall, about a week and a half ago, I mentioned that it was almost Spring, and if it was still looking like winter the following Friday, I would be registering a formal complaint.

Ministry of Silly Walks or My Daughter, the Jedi
Yesterday was an extraordinarily warm day. While the picture may lead you to believe it was a little chilly outside, what with my children being in bulky sweaters, and all, it was actually 16C. I was down to a t-shirt, and not the slightest bit cold. The kids just refused to take their sweaters off. … Read more
The Princess and Her Throne
Sometimes the kids and I are in separate rooms, doing different things. I know that this may come as a complete shock to some people, wondering how I could possibly trust my children to behave in a separate room. What if they get up to something dangerous? What if they stick things in electrical sockets? … Read more
Warm Enough for Balls
Given that it’s a B-E-A-uitiful day, we all thought that some outdoor play time was in order.
