No, I can’t quite believe it either.
I pinch myself most days in disbelief that we can be quite so lucky. At the moment, the peninsula is covered in Spring Break tourists, college students determined to enjoy their holidays. In a couple of weeks time, [...]

1. With four games and two practices a week between two boys, you say goodbye to any possible social life.
2. You purchase stain remover in bulk. Grass and mud stains on white trousers from six events per week, you never leave the washing machine.
3. Your bottom is so sore from sitting for five hours straight [...]

BMX and Bougainvillea.
I took this photo on Sunday morning at my son’s BMX lesson. As soon as I took it, I knew I would be using the photograph as part of Tara’s Gallery.

I’ve used Twitter for awhile now, loved it at some points, grown rather bored now and then, wasted far too much time or ignored it altogether. At the SXSW Festival last weekend, I wanted to attend the Ev Williams Keynote so that I could learn more about the service and where it was headed. I [...]

I’m here in Austin, hanging out at South By – that’s what all the cool kids call it. I, rather embarrassingly, was referring to the conference by its’ full name, South By South West. As a SXSW virgin, I didn’t know any better.

I’m taking part in the Gallery again over at Sticky Fingers. I have found a few new blogs to read from the list and it’s great to see everyone’s photos. This week’s theme is ‘Numbers.’
I took this photo on Christmas Eve around 4pm last year. Yes, it was the most beautiful day. The boys were [...]

I’m Texas bound at the end of this week for SXSW. It’s the first time I’ve attended the conference and I’m really excited about it. Plus, we will be child free for a few days, which makes it even more of a treat. I’m also looking forward to exploring Austin, a city I think I’m [...]

The boys came home with a list of items needed for a school earthquake kit yesterday. It’s all the normal things you would expect, non perishable food items, a juice box, things to keep them going for a few days, in case they can’t be rescued immediately. That slightly worried me.
