This was a really thought provoking read – lots to ponder!

I downloaded a couple of Beyonce songs this week. Um. Best thing I never had and irreplaceable. They’ve been lovely additions to my play lists but haven’t yet bought an album of hers.

I appreciate that you’re talking about your experience. I still feel in a general sense however that being without makeup isn’t necessarily about making a statement. The choice doesn’t have to be conscious to the […]

This kind of weirdly made me smile. April is a tough month here too. I keep thinking about your #4 choice. I came across that song via the Johnny Cash version; I have both a fondness for it and a desire not to […]

I was surprised at how shocked I was about about the Peaches Geldof news, but then, she was another young mum and an attachment parenting advocate, too. I just kept coming back to thinking about two boys being […]

This was a beautiful read. Thank you for sharing.

Aw, this was a lovely read. I was a stable girl through my tween and teen years, and yeah, it wasn’t a rich-person activity in my case. I absolutely knew of the girly stereotype but found it an incredibly […]

I scored 11. Um, yeah. I’ll be in the corner reading board books thankyouverymuch.

Though we’re a feline family, we still have veterinary costs and I’m very pro-insurance. We’ve already had to use it and I’m grateful we have it, even though Juniper Puss isn’t covered for all his medical issues […]

This was an interesting read but I found myself tripping up on this: “ultimately this is a political choice”. I don’t think it (makeup, shaving, bras) are inherently political. Certainly this was my feeling about […]

Thank goodness! I may or may not be willing to admit that she deserved to win. We’ll see how things go.

Next year: Team Katniss!

I have muffins, chocolate eggs and copious amounts of tea. Come soothe your nerves before having to find out the results. There’s enough for everyone, I’m sure!

I didn’t move my allegiances to Lyra just to have them stomped all over!

(But if Lyra does win … who will PoM be championing next year? This, this I want to know.)

There’s part of me that would like to hire a cleaner (this is assuming we’d have the money, ha), but I know I would clean the house before the cleaner came because deargoodness I couldn’t let someone come in and […]

Toy colours have been frustrating again here. We’ve tried as much as we can to get bright neutral colours, but so often it’s either “girl colours” of muddy “boy colours”. I think we have a good mix, but still, MORE COLOURS!

That Harvard book news was just, um, I rather do wish I hadn’t clicked the link.

Oh wow! This is epic Freckle! Squee!

Aw! This was lovely on lots of levels!! Squee! Definitely time to start reading. Though I will share what Juniper Junior said to me earlier today: “You can’t choose Harry Potter every time!”
