I was chastised by the Lord today. And I share this with the intention of cautioning you not to fall into the same trap that I did. I chastised by the Lord for being too quick to judge an acquaintenance. Based on what I had heard (never a good thing!) I made my judgement call and […] Read more…

What’s in your bag?
Now that we are back to just one child in diapers, the bag I lug around has shrunk tremendously. In fact, everytime we get down to just one child in diapers, I celebrate by buying a normal bag 🙂 And no, it sure isn’t an IT bag! 😛 Just before I had #7, I bought […] Read more…
It’s Pure Hard Work
Pure hard work. Words no one wants to hear. Instead, we just want to know the magic spell to chant to get us from here to there in the fastest possible way and with the least exertion possible. But more often than not, life doesn’t work that way. You just need to put in the hours and the effort. But the rewards will be great. Read more…
Old Habits Die Hard!
Since the beginning of the year, I have been trying to get the family on a eat-more-vegetables-and-fruit mission. But I must say it has been awfully hard! And each time I try and fail I realise to my dismay that it is a matter of old habits refusing to die! 🙁 Those of you who […] Read more…

Or inserting the IUD for that matter. Actually anything that alters the way our bodies are designed to work by God is a bad, bad idea. […] Read more…

It is said that thrush is often the result of taking antibiotics since antibiotics will kill off the good as well as the bad bacteria. But I have not taken antibiotics for years. And neither has the baby. So in my humble opinion, overdosing on sugary stuff can also cause an imbalance in the system and allow the bad bacteria to flourish with a vengeance. Read more…
A Different Mom
This should be entitled Part 2 of What I Have Learnt in the Past 12 Years. 🙂 Today, after lunch, as I rushed about cleaning up the kitchen after frying up a kilogramme of pork chops for dinner, the almost 3 year old, Deborah, asked to take her nap. Yes, this is the only child ever […] Read more…
What Have I Learnt in the Past 12 Years?
I meant to publish this last month! But one thing led to another and then I got caught up decluttering the house so this has been waay delayed! Our oldest child turned 12 last month. Yes, we have a child on the brink of manhood here 🙂 As I look at him and remember his early […] Read more…
