Well, we’re here. And it’s raining. Typical. Actually, it’s been ok. We went down to the beach this morning and already I can pick out the differences between the children when it comes to the beach. At 9 months of age, Keira hated the sea, sand and anything related. Riley, on the other hand, is…
My parents, to their credit, have been lifelong blood givers. It’s been something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time. So when mum got a reminder letter on Friday for some open session times next week, I rang up to volunteer. The lady on the phone was delighted. It was looking promising until…
My mother is a hoarder. Not the obsessive-compulsive kind, where it looks like her house and yard are having a permanent garage sale, but probably somewhere middle on the scale. I, on the other hand, am rather Buddhist-like when it comes to possessions (except books!) Anyway, last night mum and dad went out to tea,…

Riley’s first word today – this afternoon at approximatey 5.45pm, to be specific – was “dad dad dad”. And now he won’t shut up saying it!
Editor: “Karen, can you please email through to me your invoice for your article?” Oh, life is sweet some days.
Firstly, we had Riley’s eight month check in at the local nurse yesterday. This is not news unto itself, really, just an excuse to say in the past four days he’s started to crawl and climb the furniture! What a clever boy! His teeth, though, are causing terrible problems. His eighth one is about to…
