Sleep is for chumps. I’m convinced of this……. it must be true. I know this because I’m the only person in this house not sleeping, so either my family are all lovely, rested chumps or I am 🙁 Maybe no sleep is for chumps……. Why has my ability to sleep left me? I can’t get to sleep at night and …
Sweet Coconut Pancakes
UPDATED… I felt like something sweet for breakfast because a girl can only eat so many eggs and came across this recipe from the civilized caveman. I added a little extra coconut milk to wet the batter a little more. For a sweet pancake type experience you’ll need: 1 cup shredded coconut 2 eggs pinch of cinnamon 1 cup almond flour …
I Kill More Than I Save
UPDATED……..I finally found some Lovey pictures I’m a bad animal rescuer, I admit it, I suck. During the course of my life I’ve rescued lots of wildlife but they all meet their demise in spite of my great effort to save them. As far back as I can remember we’ve rescued animals, kept them and when we were at school …
Week One Down on the No Booze Train
After a week of The King entertaining business guests and travelling to Montclair on the weekend where we usually get ON IT, I’ve done remarkably well not having a drink. I haven’t even missed it really. I certainly have slept better and had no tummy issues. I think The King is trying to make up for my lack of consumption. …

Don’t Argue
I have talked about this before. I’m talking about it again because it’s a pet hate. I am a grown up, you are a child…. I will not argue with you. Period. I have come into contact with several toddlers this week and have come to see that parents are negotiating too much with their children. I am not judging …
You Need a Tray……….
This doesn’t mean anything. I can’t make it relate to anything I want to talk about…. it’s just bloody funny. It’s not even Hump Day 🙂 You’re welcome…..
A Friend in Need
This week I had an interesting thing happen. I txted a friend asking how it was all going with the new baby. He’s 4 weeks today. She went straight into telling me he feeds every hour and the doctor told her that she’d just have to put up with it for the first 2 months. I was furious for her. …
Electronic Free Zone
My kids spent an entire day, until late evening hours, playing outside at a friend’s home. Not once did they want for their iphone or ipod or tv or any type of electronic device until the train ride home. It was wonderful to see, they kicked balls and swam in the cold hottub, ran around with sticks, climbed trees……got really …
