The 11 year-old’s surfboard channeled too much wind and snapped before we’d even hit the main highway. There were tears at the devastation: his father had given it to him for Christmas and he’d yet to use it. It didn’t help that after moving the surfboards inside the […]

I get teased a lot about my Facebook use. But not by people who get it. Five years ago, I was in a miserable marriage and experiencing phenomenally low energy levels. I wonder now if I was bordering on depression. I had a nine year-old, a six year-old and a two […]

In fairness, most of the adults my boys get to interact with are fine people, who behave with maturity, have decent principles and who take responsibility for their actions. And I’m not […]

I’ve changed in many ways thanks to the boys pushing emotional buttons and exhausting me to the point of  raw survival. I’ve faced many a demon I didn’t know was lurking in my psyche. Those I expected, although the extent […]

This year I had to say goodbye to my children at 10.30am on the 25th and I won’t be seeing them again until early January. They are home for a few days and then they leave for another 10 days or so. I’ve always loved Christmas time. […]
