I’ve spent this week gutting and reorganising the kitchen. We purchased a new oven because replacing the same part for the fourth time in the same oven is just stupid.
How to Tell If Your Cleaner Does a Good Job
So you’ve hired a cleaner, you finally decided that a) you hate housework and b) you don’t have time to do all those jobs. But how do you now if you’ve hired a good one? Cleaning is fairly standard, right? You mop, dust, vacuum scrub and tidy.
And then We made a Brick wall
If you’ve followed here at all then you know, nothing stays the same for very long, we’re always moving furniture, painting walls, changing things around, acquiring pianos… well you get the idea.
The Oven Broke and So there’s Nothing to do but go on Strike, Right?
I broke the oven, well it stopped working, I didn’t physically hurt it in a rage or anything.It won’t heat up. I think the thermostat is dead. We’ve replaced this before.

It’s a Dirty Job But Somebody’s Gotta Do it.
Today was a fix it day. Now that we have a new couch and new rugs, we needed to fix some holes in the walls.

The Big Jobs

I’m compiling a list of projects that I’ve been putting off for a long, long time. Whether it’s because I’ve not had the energy or the emotional strength, that time has passed and I am on a new path of clearing out my life and making way for new things to happen and dwell. So profound I know but I …
Daddys are so Important
With USA Father’s Day this weekend it reminds me how important Dad’s are in their kids lives. A Dad is more than just the other half of the conception. Father’s teach their children many things about life. Everything we do as parents affects our kids. Some fathers spend lots of time teaching their children skills, playing with them and just …
Weekend Away
I had the opportunity this weekend to go to my friends home in the country for a girls weekend. We’ve been trying to plan it since last October, it was supposed to be my birthday treat.
