Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Well, a lazy afternoon for me anyway. This little energizer bunny was busy, industrious and non-stop all day. If I had her energy I’d make an awesome mother to someone.

Money and Other Indignities

We are on a strict budget at the moment. Really strict. We want to be debt free (other than our mortgage) by July or August. Money annoys me. Or the lack of money annoys me. After we got married we had close to $40,000 in debt between personal loans and credit cards. Nightmare. So to [...]

Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks

Giving her grandad a few pointers on surfing. I’m told he’s working on making her a Riley-sized surfboard for when she’s old enough to learn.

Duck is Tasty

Duck is tasty. Or so Mr Goog tells me. I wouldn’t know, I’m a vegetarian, and always have been. Riley’s not a vegetarian, and she was never going to be. I’m a happy vegetarian (I don’t know any better). But I’m not vegetarian for moral reasons. If I was, I’d be a major league hypocrite, [...]
