Life can get busy. And sometimes you kinda get lost in the shuffle. Dance lessons to reconnect And lose sight of your husband. Which is why my hubby and I decided to take up ballroom dancing. Ever Sunday evening, for the last year and a half we go dancing. We hold each other as we...
I like to think of our family as a little ship! Everyone has their own place on the ship, and together we sail through life. But then Summer Vacation comes along, shaking things up. The kids have to adjust to the endless free time, and I have to adjust to having absolutely no peace! I...
Lately when my husband comes home from work, there's this spring in his step. And as soon as he enters the house, he runs right past me, into the garden looking for his new love: Walnuts. Big nuts, small nuts and medium sized nuts. He loves them all. What if... The nuts are a gift...

During breakfast hubby told me in an indignant tone of voice, he'd dreamt he wanted to divorce me. Apparently, in his dream, I had abused his absence to decorate our house, with wall to wall Laura Ashley wallpaper. A grain of truth As with most dreams, there may have been a small grain of truth...
