Today has been a miserable old wet day. One of those dreary days were you're pleased to stay inside and potter around, achieving little. After breakfast and swimming lessons, we came home so Miss A could have a nap. Leaving Miss B to play, I thought I'd use up some of the very ripe bananas …

Ok Ryan, if you insist…
I've seen it many many times and yet here I am, curled up on the couch. Happy Friday peeps! Have you seen The Notebook? Are there just some movies that you will watch over and over and over again?
My new addiction
Sorry, can't talk, Season Three of the Bachelor is showing. I was a big fan of Season One and still have some stalkery tendencies towards the love couple of the universe, Tim and Anna. If I was the type to covet another's life, theirs would be it. But I love my life so I'll have …
Pick me up Thursday
It's been a flat kind of day today. Time has been and continues to pass by very slowly this week and to build upon the road-themed metaphors of late, we seem to have a traffic jam at the crossroads. As much as I'm trying to not let it impact my everyday life, it's hard not to …

TGIT!!!
TGIT! Yes, Thursday! Not quite the same ring as TGIF but for me, it's same same but different! I work my full time hours over a four day week so as far as I'm concerned it's the weekend! And it can't come around quick enough. The house is now quiet but for the hum of …
