Would you believe that this is a question I ask myself quite often? When I’m about to send a text message, look in my mirror, take a second glance, make a comment, etc., the thought runs right through my mind. And thank God it does. How often have you said something that you immediately wish…Read more Who is your audience?
The art of mothering – Pt. 2
So, welcome to another chronicle in my life and sojourn as a mother. I’ll jump right into it, shall I? On a day when I was feeling great (and I mean, great!) fatigue, with some malaise thrown in there, I was still busy doing life and being a mum. Naturally. When I say “doing life”,…Read more The art of mothering – Pt. 2
Plastic lil’ me.
“I’m a Barbie girl in a Barbie world. Life in plastic is fantastic…” Does the above date me? No matter. 🙂 Those who are able to recall that song originally by Aqua will know what I’m doing here. Sorta. Ok, hang on. Why don’t I just get into what I want to muse about? Yes?…Read more Plastic lil’ me.
Umm, baby yoga?
Sooo the other day, I was on social media when I ran across a video clip that showed these toddlers in a class where they were engaging in yoga. You heard me. Not aerobics. Not athletics. Not ballet….YOGA. Ok, I’m not that out of touch, am I? Sure, I know of prenatal yoga. I’ve heard…Read more Umm, baby yoga?
Grotesquely familiar…
Hmm, shall we continue? Last time, I discussed the prevalence of fear and monstrosity in movies and shows geared towards young minds. When I noticed this, I started to wonder if anyone else thinks a bit more critically on such issues as these. If I were honest, I’d say that as a society, we worship entertainment…Read more Grotesquely familiar…
Increasing familiarity with the grotesque
Guys, I had an awesome childhood. Not perfect, mind you, but full of sheer awesomeness. We played tonnes of games outside and formed many longtime friendships in those early years. I actually don’t recall television being a key part of our lives in those times, since we spent the majority of our time playing games…Read more Increasing familiarity with the grotesque

How to not die at the dentist’s
Ok, pretty dramatic, right guys? Hehe. But yeah, given my dislike for dentist-teeth-like things, I have had to figure out a way to survive dental visits. And since I'm feeling like quite the sage, I'm gonna share it with you. Pass it on, friends. You might save a life. I had a recent visit with,…Read more How to not die at the dentist’s
God is brilliant!
So, before I was ever pregnant, I recall that people who were would complain about wanting the baby out already, being tired of pregnancy, etc. I couldn’t understand. How bad could it be? And indeed, because it was granted to me to have an easy pregnancy, this mentality of mine stayed awhile. I just didn’t…Read more God is brilliant!
Suffering honorably
So, I got to watch a YouTube video by Bob Sorge, entitled: God Could’ve Left Job Alone, and let me tell you, that left a major imprint on me. Let me see if I do justice as to the "why" of it. When I first heard the title, I had an impression of what the…Read more Suffering honorably
