Holiday Hang Ups
Air Rage Part Deux with all of us reprising our roles – the Harassed Mum and Dad and the little Terror. New fear – of flying – and even louder ...
120112 : A Pictorial
A day that began on a low note – unruly hair, a sore throat and failed arterial puncture on the first case – and ended rather decently. I turned 36 ...
A Working Weekend
It’s that time of the year again…rushing to get the abstracts in before the submission deadline. It’s also that time of the year when I freak out a little, with ...
The Year So Far
1st January, 2012 0000hrs : In bed watching fireworks from the bedroom window and RESOLVING not to make any more new year resolutions. My 2011 DID-NOT-DO list consisted of NOT ...
Alive And Kicking
Barely 4 months ago he was bedridden. Poor heart, poor kidneys, poor family support. A single man bidding farewell to the world, his passing but a whisper in the wind. ...
Why One Hairband Is Not Enough aka I Love Being A Girl!
Bad hair days – now afflicting me with an alarming frequency – aren’t entirely banished with these pretty hair ornaments, but at least the pain of looking at a head ...
Craving, Interrupted
I really could do with a Prosperity Meal from McDonalds NOW. Or for that matter, every night for the last 2 nights. But it was either the heavy rain, or ...
Lego At Dawn aka Goodbye Sleep
Like the hazy stupor that very much defined my early days as a newly-minted mother, those morphed sleep-wake moments of washing-feeding-washing-feeding again cycles are merely that : a haze of ...
The Dream House
The Dream House should have – a nice lawn for Muffin (and maybe a lab puppy) to run around in – plenty of natural light filtering through (“home studio” ) ...
Back To Work Blues
Time flies when you are having so much fun. Cliched but true. After being home for several days I was so completely mommified (again) that I celebrated *sarcastic* my return ...
Father And Daughter Day
What a rare occasion. Muffin and her dad were home ALONE yesterday while I was at work. But not before putting her lunch and dinner to cook in the crock ...
You Heard Me
We’ve had our share of sleep problems, but this one really takes the cake. What an epic. Look ma! Bubble dress! Winnie The Pooh pants! Leg warmers! Cupcake shirt! And proceeded ...
Look What AUTO Cooked!
If all else fails there’s AUTOCOOK. Yes, turn your noses up at my wanna-be-ness, but I have a husband to feed and 2 slabs of beef in the fridge. Yes, ...
The One Pot Meal
One pot meals are great for lazy busy mums like me. Granted, I’m not exactly broadening Muffin’s gustatory repertoire but you make the best of what little time you have ...
111111
In the first hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year in the twenty first century… I am pathetically staking out bookdepository.co.uk because they are ...
iDied.iLived.iBacked-up
Some of my girlfriends think I’m a tech geek but I cannot claim to be one because I committed THE cardinal sin of personal computing – I didn’t back up. ...
The Rut
I don’t know if this is another midlife crisis, but I’m in a rut again. Brand loyalty is one thing, but to be using the same skincare range for so ...
Hoarding
I’m not your typical kiasu shopper. I hate crowds. I hate physical contact with strangers. I hate trolley-gridlocks along narrow aisles. I hate having to tell off people for refusing ...
The Bag Post
Again, this is for Edina Monsoon I find nylon bags so versatile during travels. They are lightweight and durable, although stuffing in all your essentials like an iPad, 2 phones, ...
Great Day
Oh what a good Monday it’s turned out to be! Despite being woken up twice in the night by Muffin and then waking up with a neck strain. Neck strain ...
