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 [...]
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, this year, I’ve decided that I shall really work at learning Japanese. I know it’s the trendy language to learn and that I’m just jumping on the big ol’ bandwagon, but hey, it’s mine and I’ll ride it.
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.

“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 [...]
This house is something of a mess today. So my first resolution is to tidy up. But then it always is. That’s the thing about housework, it doesn’t seem to stop. Still, the time for the decorations to come down is nigh. I’m going to sort out the cupboards for housing my scrapbooking supplies and [...]
My one little word for this year is Make. I will go into details in another post but I hope to embrace the phrase ‘Get excited and make things!’ this coming year, including writing things (for work and pleasure).
I was also pointed by Ali to 6changes, a simple concept for introducing new habits in baby [...]
New year’s eve. Not my favourite night of the year:
It pretty much marks the end of the holidays (although this year the weekend has the good grace to extend it by three days)
Everything is expensive, taxis are impossible, and there is a pressure to be out, you get in late and the kids still get [...]
