I have not scrapbooked in so so long. Right now my stuff is all over the house and really I have no time for this but I also know that if I make no time I’m never gonna get to it. Thing 2 is 9 months old and I haven’t done a *single* page about [...]
January has passed by in a blur of illness from practically all parties – only Toby has survived unscathed so far – some work and not a lot else.
One thing I have done though is take a picture on my iphone of something each day and I’ll be putting them up here tomorrow.
Mary Jean Iron: Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One [...]
And so the end of Christmas, officially. Even the church has to stop eeking it out now. Mother nature threw us another reminder that it is nature and not the human calender in charge of the seasons, with another heavy dump of snow.
Toby has been out on my sledge with Daddy. I am working, albeit [...]

So, learning kanji and learning a decent amount of vocabulary are my aims for this year. I [...]
Every year I knew Christmas was over on the 5th January. I know 12th night is the 6th – a big thing in France I think – but you see, we would almost always be back at school by now (as the kids are this year, snow aside) but also the 5th is my mum’s [...]
Mostly freezing and quietly industrious, for a Monday. My cleaner was in today after the holidays and helped me drag my house back into some semblance of normal. Decorations are down, laundry is turning and hangin and waiting for attention. Children were back at nursery (but currently downstairs and making a racket!) and husband back [...]
Last year I decided to read 52 novels, and I think I did just about do that (even if some of them were in my beloved audiobook form). This year my goal is to read some simple manga in Japanese, and work through a couple of Japanese videogames.
Right now this involves 2 dictionaries, a syllabary [...]

“Toby, what was your favourite bit of Christmas?”
“When Santa and Rudolph ate their snack!”
So, as I get older the wonder of Christmas (wonderful though it still is) is replaced with an excitement at the New Year. I posted about it a day or so ago, of sorts, but I still don’t understand why NYE gets the fuss. I’d much rather celebrate January 1st. The New Year is a [...]
