Today I had my hair coloured and cut for the second time by a very talented hairdresser who I’ll call B.

She and I chat about my daughter and about … More Ex husbands and hair dos

It’s another night at our dinner table. Three kids under the age of ten and two adults. I’d like to say there is lots of laughing and communicating at our table but for the most part, us adults are just trying to get the kids to eat what’s on their plate and the stories can … More If you’re gonna act like an animal…
