Last week the moon rose… … and the sun set… … on a day that found me walking, pondering how life may travel these next six months – what might happen, determining the ways our routines and patterns might need reshuffling. This week I got my answer: our life will march on much the same…
The boy appeared at my side. “Can you help me?” he asked shyly. I stood up and adjusted the pile of books I carried in my arms. Looking over, I could see the teacher was busy taking aside students one-by-one for some sort of assessment task or private interview and was not to be disturbed….
I recently read this HuffPo article which talks about a Yoplait yoghurt ad that had been pulled in the United States in response to complaints and concerns about its content, specifically for those who are suffering from eating disorders.

Keira has a lockable diary of a certain commercial doll brand that begins with ‘B’ – please don’t make me say it – which, until this week, she had forgotten she owned. It is full of those polling, personality profile quizzes that I’m sure we’ve all enjoyed doing at some point in our lives –…

Having very little knowledge about the developmental stages of cats, I’m just going to put this out there in the hopes that someone might be able to explain what’s happening: Whiskers is being, in polite language, difficult lately. She’s two and a half now; still young, but not a youngster either. She will snuggle next…
Three years ago today (goodness – time, flying, etc.) I did a post on the below mosaic maker meme. I have changed question one so as to only use creative commons licensed photos. This will reduce the number of returns, but I’m much more comfortable to go this way. To widen the field I either…
