I'm back! By popular demand... Do you lovely uncles and aunties know I turned the big O one (01!)? Well I did. A week or so ago. Phew, thank God infancy is done and over with. Wasn't as great as you think it might be. I didn't quite like the whole 'being helpless' bit; I... Continue Reading →

The day after Christmas Lil' Z turns ten. Ten months! What? Phew! I just feel like I have run a twenty month long marathon. Like I am participating in a 24 hour, ongoing- never- ending reality show. A show where I am being constantly judged- by family, relatives, strangers, the universe.... Heck, many a time... Continue Reading →
