An unexpected twist in the fairytale
All this last week as I drove the scalawags to school we have been listening to circus music.

I do believe that there wereContinue reading “An unexpected twist in the fairytale”
Week 2: Connecting and Becoming Royalty
As I have been saying all week, my resolutions this year are myriad. Well, twenty-two to be exact.

Progress Point: #1 Connect better with the scalawagsContinue reading “Week 2: Connecting and Becoming Royalty”
22 in 22: The Abyss, Unplug and Nonsense.
Wow. Twenty-two goals is a lot of goals. Who knew it would take me the better part of the week to think through…well…not yet even all of them! Today should go pretty quickly: there is nothing terribly earth-shattering here! #11 Protect Logins & Passwords from The Abyss Ah yes, The Abyss.

22 in 22: Dopamine, Flow and Becoming Royalty
After a slow start outta the gates yesterday, we did finally get off to the races once we started talking about how I plan to “get my geeky on” and “get my grit on” with my creative projects as part of my 22 goals in 2022.

22 in 22: Artefacts, Geekery and Flawed Humanity
Here I go!

Gretchen Rubin, the author who got me thinking that there might beContinue reading “22 in 22: Artefacts, Geekery and Flawed Humanity”
Week 1: Meet the 22 for 22
One of the very most beneficial things I did for my Buy-No-Clothes-in-2021 Challenge was to do a weekly check-in. Each Saturday, I sat down with the list of rules and goals I had set for myself, and I considered how I may or may not have made progress towards them. Naturally, knowing me, I can’tContinue reading “Week 1: Meet the 22 for 22”

The Ideal Life Round-Up: Parenting
Here we were, 5:00 on Christmas morning, and I was almost 100% sure I knew how this was going to go down. I knew for a fact that my boys would see all the bounty under the tree, and that even before they would start opening their presents, that my eldest would cry about somethingContinue reading “The Ideal Life Round-Up: Parenting”
