Yay…it’s December!!!!! The kids have their Advent calenders out and Christmas carols are playing.  Lights and decorations are going to go up this weekend.  However, our fake tree is going to sit in it’s box unopened thanks to KiKi who insists on “tasting” everything that’s around.  Bit and bobs I’ve fished out of her mouth recently: lego, newspaper, onion peel, a piece of plastic (I shudder to think where the rest of this object is – in her tummy maybe???), yarn, some… Read more »

I knew it would be different this time and would require some serious planning and… Read more »

It seems like I’m in somewhat of a blogging rut. I’ve begun a post several times recently only to read what I’ve written and it all seemed like blah-blah-blah.  Blogging avoidance ensued.  Here I am now hemming and hawing because I still have only blah and more blah, but… Summer fun…in about two weeks we leave for India for some holidaying – weeee!!!  It’s going to be fun to hang out with the fam and not do anything much other than,… Read more »
