While I glanced at my sons’ artwork hanging at our art display area, inspired by Pinterest posts and brought to life by my husband and his magical tool called “the drill”, I noticed that their art did not appear to be in line with what is considered normal. For instance, Mr. O’s guitar looks nothing like a conventional guitar except for its unique pear shape … Continue reading When We Create Like Kids (#0008)
Before I had kids I didn’t really know what I disliked, okay maybe I knew. But I’m telling you, right now there are 2 things I wish I hadn’t had in my life: constant mess and constant loud talking. Is it a normal part of life to have these 2 things? It doesn’t feel normal to me. It feels like torture. There’s nothing I … Continue reading When Life Gives You Sh*t (#0007)

But we really do feel that … Continue reading The Bias Of The Internet #0004
Mr. E had been telling me yesterday that his teacher would like to take a group photo of the class with their parents/caretakers. The session was meant to take a snapshot of the lanterns that the kids worked on with their parents as a homework project. I was determined to make it for that photo. But when I went to pick up my sons … Continue reading When Our Choices Hurt #0003
What’s your favourite day of the week? Mine is Friday. You read that right. It’s not Saturday and it’s definitely not Sunday. What I’ve learnt from listening to my own feeling is that we are happiest when we anticipate something positive happening. It doesn’t need to happen yet, but we just need to know for sure that it’s going to happen. When I wake up … Continue reading Friyay! #0002
