No offense to the veggies either.  I had the most disturbing conversation with my friend.  She was telling me that our third friend had just gone back to work after her three months maternity leave ended and was finding work really hard and quite stressful to be back.  Personally I think she’s a hero and [...]

The Uno

November 3rd, 2008 · 2 Comments

The Uno was our first car, I say our because it is too embarassing to say my younger sister’s first car.  When my mother first said she was going to buy us a car we tried to talk her out of it, we didn’t want her to over extend herself financially.  She didn’t listen to [...]

10 reasons why it is better to be a stay at home mom than work

September 17th, 2008 · 12 Comments

I was just thinking that staying at home has lots of its perks so here they are

If I had a million dollars …

Buy a house on the beach, not a summer house, an all year house.  With big balconies and verandas.   With windows that let the sun and summer breeze in.  I’d plant a little garden with tomatoes, apples and oranges.  I’d also want a tree house and a swing.
