iLove

It has been 3 years since I discovered the world of Apple; a good mate bought me an iPod Touch. This was my introduction to Apple and the technology astounded me. I did begin to tiptoe around the edge of MacLove.

The transition was interrupted as I embarked on a brief flirtation with an Android phone until sanity prevailed and a year ago I upgraded to an iPhone.

We now are Apple Lovers. Our technology 'sings' in unity in our home. I use the term 'we' lightly as Russell is a Mac-Hater. It certainly is testament to his infinite love for me that he has dipped into our resources to satisfy my technology desires. :-)

I have been patiently waiting for the stars to align to acquire the Big Daddy of all, ....and it arrived on Saturday afternoon. My 40th birthday present, slightly delayed, much anticipated and GREATLY appreciated!

Have never worked on an Apple device before and never owned one as well. But one day :)
Love your new toy and love that you are loving it. Enjoy
And by the way, I love this regular blogging thing you have going presently.

I have not yet been swayed(totally), but Mr OL is right there with you. He has an iPad and iPhone and wants to add to his Mac family.

I have been known to use the iPad a "little" bit more often than he does though.... That is when I can wrestle it away from the 3 year old.

I like your "sings in unity" thing - our mantra is (and the hubby firmly on board too) - "it just works!" all the pieces, ipad, ipod, iphone, apple tv, iMac (oh I've just realised how bad our addiction is) - all talk to each other without ANY problems, EVER. Even with additional technology (our TV as wifi connectivity, and we have a wifi booster, as well as a cell phone signal booster in the house) and zero problems. All unity and harmony. All Hail Steve Jobs! (lol)

You'll never go back! I am awaiting the arrival of my new MacAir, on its way from the States in a couple of weeks. Two birds with one stone: Maclove and 'compact and bijou' :-)

Oh I am LOVING my Mac. You'll get the hang of it soon. It is so much simpler in the long run.

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...
