Day 321 – Tweener stores stateside, part 1
Thursday 17th November 2011. Reflecting back on our shopaholic tendencies in the States, we cannot forget (and should seriously think about) what motivated the kids and what left them cold. As shopaholic parents (in remission!), watching them grow towards teenagers, it’s interesting to occasionally step back and watch what makes them tick, and what turns … Continue reading
Day 320 – The start of the swim season
Wednesday 16th November 2011. Otherwise known in our household as ‘Do we really have to get up now?’ It’s hard on the kids, and dare I say it, even harder on the parents.

Day 316 – sort-a-day
Saturday 12th November 2011. The cold continues with a hacking cough, blocked and stuffed up nose, and a general feeling of tiredness (or is the jet lag?).

Wednesday 9th November 2011. Last night an old friend passed by, and stayed the night.

I cooked a great Jamie Oliver dish, shoved it all … Continue reading
