It has been some time, but this morning I have relaxed with an old friend - "Sweet Candy Forest..." Before Steem, there have been a number of, I wouldn't call them addictions, but would call

After dropping the Little Man off to his Grandparents for the morning, the Other Half and I went to a café for breakfast. Sunday mornings are designed for decadence - burgers that we want and lovely drinks

We had a visit from the Little Man's Grandmother today and decided to take her out for lunch. Melbourne is a very cosmopolitan city, where the choices for restaurants are diverse and all lovely; but when

While the Little Man was in ABA (therapy) today, I caught up with a friend of mine for brunch... She has been having an issue consuming her for some time now. There is never any space in her house - with

Today I finally had a quiet day at home to get things done! Even more so, it was a chance to have a good think and just take it easy. There is one time when the thoughts and issues of the day can be clarified

On a lighter note from last night's blog... I had to take my little man in for his 4 year old vaccinations yesterday after he finished kindergarten. Ahhh - I admit it!! I am not an antivaccination addict

There is a thought that has been playing in my mind a lot lately... When the husband and I were driving along the freeway a couple of days ago - he asked me then what this thought was and I attempted to

Photo shot of the day is Connor the cat having a play ambush from the other side of the fence... It's a lovely cool morning as the sun is out - a good time to get outside. There's just a few manual jobs

The weather is again creeping up to over 40 degrees (over 104 F)... We are hiding inside while the little man is away doing this mornings' therapy. I am officially refusing to do housework, run around
