When He Thanks Me at the Oscars
When you live in a house full of creatives, and you’re one yourself, then you get to do different stuff. It’s just like that.. Grand Master D has an unscheduled day off school, no he’s not sick, it’s not a half day… there’s no hurricane or snow day, his 7th grade class has a field trip today. He didn’t want …

The Elf on the Shelf, we’ve all heard of it, and if you haven’t then which rock have you been living under? Anyway for those of you with moss on your shoes, The Elf on the Shelf is just that, a little elf on a shelf, he’s Santa’s spy, sent to sit around your house and keep those little people …
The Spirit of Giving
For a very long time I have wanted to have enough money to help a random stranger in the supermarket line who is unable to pay for their groceries.

Fern Knows the Way….
Recently some strangers moved into our building and they were very weird. The dog didn’t know what to do, the kids didn’t know what to do, there were strange goings on in the night. The residents lived in fear.
A Santa Fest…
Because I LOVE Christmas, over the years, I have tried hard to start our own family traditions and get Santa pics for the kids. I didn’t manage it every year but it’s nice to see how they’ve grown with each photo and it’s fun to look back and enjoy the memories. Here’s some Santa pics — just for fun today. …
Is This Santa’s Last Year?
Christmas is a magical time, it’s a time for friends and family. It brings back childhood memories of the super excitement, the build up waiting for Santa to come. In our house as kids, Santa prefered a bottle of beer to be left for him. We didn’t know any better and being Aussie we just accepted this as fact. I …
