I watch Gladiators and I’m proud of it!

Yes it’s true, I’m standing tall and ready to shout it to all the world “I watch Gladiators.” I remember watching it with my family as a kid so naturally I would watch it now as an adult. My children love it and even my husband (who initially said no way Jose) is [...]

Family games

Natalie(5 years old) has just learned how to play UNO, it’s a great family game. We were all sitting at the table playing when Natalie put down her second last card. Wanting to help her I said “what do you say?”, she looked at her last card then yelled out “BINGO”. It [...]

Is your life worth $12?

Is your life worth $12?  My husbands apparently isn’t.  You see I went grocery shopping the other day and came back with a 1kg kitchen fire extinguisher.  Well the neighbours must have thought world war three had stated because my husband was not happy.  I know money is tight (it has been for the last [...]

Boys acting like men - men acting like boys

Hasn’t the world changed in such a short period of time?  To think that in the 1940’s boys as young as fourteen were lying about their age to sign up to fight in the war.  They had to act like men even though they were really just boys.  They faced horrors we can’t even imagine! [...]

Dr. Phil & Dr. Daddy

Claire is home sick today so over lunch she got to watch Dr. Phil with me. My nephew (aged 3) wasn’t too keen on shutting his trap while we tried to watch and I could see Claire was getting quite annoyed. I’m used to watching TV and playing with him at the same [...]

I’m no killer!

I couldn’t do it… I just couldn’t sentence the mice in my house to death. When the pest controller rang I told him it was O.K I had the situation under control, I then rang the real estate to notify them that we won’t be needing the pest control after all. [...]

I went to Jupiter

No I’m not an astral traveler and no I wasn’t abducted by aliens and given the full body prob treatment on Jupiter… my children dropped me off on their way to Pluto.  It’s quite simple really, they turned our coffee table upside down added a few boxes with seat belts and before [...]

Why I am always right!

My husband suggested this title as my next blog post (a little in jest I feel) and I will indulge him.  Yes I feel I am always right but the simple truth is this: I’m a woman - of course I’m always right! Those men out there who want a long happy [...]

Muslims Vs Christians

I am sick and tired of reading article after article about Muslims killing Christians. I get the Barnabus Fund newsletters and e-mails and I have read such horrific accounts of violence it ruins your day. Toddlers kidnapped then returned to their parents roasted and served on a plater of rice, [...]

My little femo

My girls were talking last night about careers and life as adults when Claire (age 7) said to Natalie (age 5) “if you want to be a teacher you should get married first then be a teacher.”  Natalie asked why to which Claire explained that once you get married your last name [...]
