Day Two

By -
This will be a photo post - it was the best day we had on the ship and the photos speak for themselves.

Blogger feels the pics look best right justified...so we will leave it at that okay?





hanging at the pool - the water was frrrrreezing as its seawater.
Duh. Only figured that out later. doff chick.













Kids checking themselves out before the Captains dinner.
The man and I - more spruced than usual.

My gorgeous trio.












They found an empty stage and couldnt resist!























Soaking up the sunset.

A day I will not forget! This is the way things would have been all along....if the storm hadnt ruined our fun. Grrrr. :-)

Omicat - I love that the kids are so free in themselves that they can do what we all long to do -
just break out on an empty stage and go nuts.
Congrats on your parenting that has made them this way!

Hah - you've just reminded me of something I'd completely forgotten about. We cruised the aegean sea (around greek islands) when I was 12. I was so excited to swim in one of the two deck pools until I found out that they also only fill them once we were underway. With sea water. Even once my dad had someone explain the filtration process to me - and how it was absolutely impossible for sharks to get in, I remained unconvinced for the entire 7 days on board, and would rarely venture past the shallow end. Hah. Fun times.

Oh-boy...it looks like a holi of note! There is something about the background of endless ocean that makes for the most amazing photos! Great to you you all had such a great time.

Your kids are divine. Love that they are just themselves wherever they are - clearly they do not give 2 hoots what people think - stunning!

The pool photos speak volumes. Sad about the kakky weather - pity we don't have a switch to control that huh?

Hello April 2024

By -
We have settled into our new home.  It has taken many twists and turns along the way. In August 2022, Rach moved out and now she is returning home. Which means I am renovating the tiny house to make space for my firstborn.  I can safely say I am very excited to have everyone under the roof again - I was not ready for my eldest to leave so soon. It was never the plan. Life has a way of offering second chances and restoration in way we never can imagine. Although this comes with its own set of challenges - for her and for me - I see it as an absolute win. It may be a revolving door and various permutations in the years ahead but this is almost certainly the last year all 3 kids will be under my roof. This blog was born in 2007 - when Levi was under a year old. I spent the next 8 years sharing my life and theirs right here.  I have battled to figure out what this blog now needs to be ?  Am I going to continue to write for my kids? I am not even sure they need that anymo...

Silent Tears

As I was rushing around putting kids to bed my tween, Honey, beckoned to me. 'Come here Mom, I need to talk to you.' Something in her tone slowed me down and forced me to take a breath and follow her into her bedroom. As I looked at my beautiful daughter, growing up so fast I heard these words tumble out of her mouth: 'Mom, I hate my face. I am ugly'. I cannot tell you how unprepared I was for this statement. And yet, in an instant, I remembered this time in my life; when I looked in the mirror and didnt like what I saw. I listened quietly as she went through each of her stunning features and told me what she saw. I know there is little I can say with objectivity as her mother. She wont believe me just as I didnt believe my mother. I am happy to say when she woke up this morning she was her usual cheerful self. Full of beans, energy and confidence. Not a glimmer of the sad, insecure little person I saw the previous evening. I will have to start anticipatin...

April lockdown life

The weekend went by in a blur.  A blur of eating, lounging, sleeping, netflixing, occasional exercise and general malaise. I did, finally, get around to setting my kids loose to find their Easter eggs...a week later but no one really knows what day of the week or month it is anyways. There was much hilarity as the boyf took his life in his hands and pushed the girlf into the pool to celebrate Easter victory. Usually this would have him sin-binned for hours but she took it unusually well.... I spent some time online searching for ways to pivot the business I work for...in an attempt to keep my income rolling in. Sadly my rental properties are not ticking over as my tenants cannot pay rent...this will be month 2 of zero rental income for me which is terrifying..but I cannot blame them. We are all suffering at the hands of this ridiculous outbreak and can only hope that some sort of revenue generating income finds its way into our economy soon. I have started watching Outlande...
