Monday Post in Pictures – Because… MONDAYS are hard

  Today is Monday and being a Monday, it’s hard to get motivated, and that being said I also have a child home sick……. So in the spirit of not letting you down I’m just gonna share some old pictures I found on the weekend, in no particular order but they’re fun.  

Bureaucracy Is Fun

So this one time…. Don’t you love it when stories start like that? Me too. This particular tale is a tale of woe for some newly landed foreigners trying to navigate a system. A system that is fraught with danger…. the getting of a driver’s license. It was early in our US experience. We needed a license to close some …

She’s Got Talent- The Writers Edition

So Miss Gremlin has talent, it seems the writing gene carried through…. The King writes, Grand Master D writes film scripts and you know I wrote cos you’re here reading it… but who knew the little gremlin was a writer too! And it’s impressive, we’re a family of writers. What is the collective noun for that anyway? Sorry… squirrel. So …

Hate Cooking?, Let the Oven Do it.

It’s been a while since I’ve done food on the blog but there’s a few people who have been asking about my paleo journey. Ok I’ve fallen off the wagon a little but Europe… beer and bread people… nuf said? So it’s time to get right back to it. Super easy dinner ideas. I’m all about the lazy cooking. I …

Another Wedding Anniversary-Where did the time go?

On the 9th of October in the Day Time….. 14 years ago we got married. It was a whirlwind thing, he landed a helicopter in the back yard and  proposed on the 25th September and we found ourselves in the flash clothes 2 1/2 weeks later. We pulled off an awesome event. Everyone had the best time. We  kinda enjoyed it …

My Child Didn’t Graduate-Bad Parent Alert

Little Miss Gremlin came home last April with a less than glowing eye report from the school. She had some big long name thing but basically her eyes weren’t tracking together and after 20 seconds her right eye would just check out and this was causing her blurred vision and headaches and loss of stamina for reading. So being a …

I Used My Kids to Steal Stuff

Years ago when I was still pushing kids in strollers, back when pushing kids in strollers happened. Before the attachment ‘carry your kid everywhere until they go to school’ crowd took over. Not judging at all so don’t stop reading and head to the comment page to yell at me just yet. I had huge babies, ok! Huge AND we …

Ooh Look, There’s a Rock…..A Walking Tour in Pictures.

During our trip away in the summer we visited Stonehenge. It’s an amazing place,  as we drove along the road we could see it in the distance. It was eerie. In the middle of nowhere there’s a druid stone thing. Thousands of years old, with no real explanation how it got there or what it’s purpose really was. From the …

Sid The Sitcom Star

So for a week now, since his escape, we’ve fretted and worried our dear Sid Fishious was either dodging planes, in a ditch in Jersey City or at the bottom of the Hudson river. We scanned the skies and ground everywhere we walked and in the vain hope of finding him, we kept a watch, left the door open and …

Absence Makes…..

The King is away, he’s in Spain for business for a week. This means life gets a little easier around here.(ahem) I don’t have to make awesome dinners… the kids are happy with quick easy vegie free fare or even take out! Bonus. I get the remote to myself and can watch all the cop dramas and history channel I …
