I'm sure being up there was breathtaking...........however, I was not up there. Why? T2 decided to fall asleep on our ascent so guess who had to accompany her in our luxury van whilst she snoozed away in the Bbrrrrrr......frigging cold ChiangMai mountain air???.......click to learn what next.

The fresh air of ChiangMai…….

We have practically every single Eric Carle book except this one - Papa, please get the Moon for me. Firstly, ever since T2 came into being, I'd hardly spent any time with her reading because I was so busy juggling 2 kids without.......click to learn what next.

Making Kids Work

I was brought up with maids and hardly lifted a finger to do any work. OK, make that no work at all. This has caused me to be extremely LAZY. However, my in-laws are extremely HARD-WORKING people and tend to their huge garden every.......click to learn what next.

Posted on January 29, 2012October 8, 2013 by Mamapumpkin

The problem I have with silver is that it tarnishes and unless it is mixed or coated with other metals, it will tarnish. The hassle to have to keep polishing it is well, a hassle. Thus, I hardly have any silver jewellery. I'd.......click to learn what next.
