Is it cool to be emo?
2008-02-08 10:34:00 It concerns me, as a parent, that it has become quite acceptable to be ‘emo’. I asked my son what makes someone ‘emo’ and his reply was ’someone who wears dark clothes, usually long sleeves to cover any scars in result of cutting themselves, and mopes around looking depressed’. I was disturbed by a comment made by ... More About: Cool
Deceptively Delicious
2008-02-08 10:28:00 A friend and I ordered a copy each of Jessica Seinfeld’s ‘Deceptively delicious’ book so we can sneakily add vegetables to our childrens’ diets. My DD7 hates vegetables but loves cakes and muffins so if I can make muffins with pureed broccoli or carrot in them, then I’ll be happy that she’s getting some vegies, and ... More About: Delicious

I?m scared of Flylady!
2008-02-07 00:09:00 A few years ago, I came across Flylady. I thought she was the best thing since sliced bread! I immediately became a ‘Flybaby’, signed up for email reminders, printed out all the info about creating a control journal, controlling my zones and shining my sink. I shined my sink - once! I was so proud of ... More About: Scared
Home owners? concern
2008-02-06 01:27:00 With interest rates rising a number of times in the one year, it is a major concern to home-owners in regards to how they are going to continue to afford their mortgages.

Am I shrinking?!
2008-02-06 01:18:00 I drove the three older babes to school this morning because I had to hand in some paperwork at the school office. While I was standing in the foyer, I don’t think there was one student that was shorter than me! I’m about 5′4 so I’m not THAT short but almost every kid that walked by ...

What the?
2008-02-02 03:00:00 So, having a car spoiler is not so unusual but we just saw the biggest of all car spoilers ever! I just wish I had the camera on me. The car was a little Mazda and the spoiler was so huge, it looked like it belonged on an aircraft! Why would one want a monstrosity ...
Incompetant employees
2008-02-02 02:53:00 I am so annoyed with the insurance company that is dealing with DH’s compensation case. When it first started, 6 years ago!, they were sending us form after form, paperwork after paperwork to fill out, sheets about medicare part d and doctor’s reports and the list goes on! And now they turn around and say ... More About: Employees
Personality clashes
2008-02-02 01:33:00 DD14 and I have had some screaming matches over the years. We seem to both be very hot-headed and determined not to back down in our opinions whether it be about boys, make-up, curfews or the length of her skirts! When I was a teenager and I’d argue with my dad, he’d always end the argument ... More About: Personality

Smart boy
2008-01-31 23:16:00 When I was in Year 10 at high school, I decided half way through the year that I was going to leave school after I had completed my school certificate and get a job.

Protect your home
2008-01-30 21:16:00 I didn’t realise that just because you buy a house or property, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is yours. Problems can arise from past ownership and the previous owner, the owner’s family or heirs of the previous owner could have rights or claims in the property you are buying. Ensuring that you are getting a ... More About: Home

Gotta love the grandparents!
2008-01-28 09:05:00 I mentioned the other day that I wanted to get a swing set for our backyard.

No room for a coffee machine
More articles from this author:2008-01-24 22:58:00 I was asked if I wanted an espresso coffee maker, similar to a Jura capresso machine but as much as I would have loved to say yes and smeel the aroma of fresh coffee brewing each morning, I had to decline because I just don’t have the bench space in my kitchen for it.
