  1. From being stuck in a rural to house-sitting in style, I'm in awe of how our lives unfold. What a mighty God we serve!
  2. So happy to be home. (Home is where my heart is... with my family!)
  3. There's no way to listen to this song and stay still: ow.ly/1MD2hK I love African music! Don't you feel like dancing?
  4. Just saw a child on a leash. In the library. Why do you need a toddler on a leash in a library?
  5. @InheritanceCP When in Aust, I'd love to interview you re. h/schooling & success for sparklingadventures.com. Please say yes.
  6. "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be." - Douglas Adams. (Yay for hitchhiking!)
  7. ICA reunion tonight when I see Hannah Bebarfeld for the first time in sixteen years. (Boarding school friendships last forever... <3)
  8. I met a woman just yesterday and today she gave me the key to her house (and let me stay)! City folk are so friendly. #iloveauckland
  9. On the road sans enfants (sauf le bébé). Getting dready help in Auckland. This is my sanity break. Or is it the start of my breakdown?
  10. In local news, residents are scouring the ground looking for a lost poo. 2yo Dell has reportedly dropped one between the truck & the shed.
  11. What we are teaching to our children? #Unschooling sense in this article by Barb Lundgren. "Rethinking... history" ow.ly/1LTCIy
  12. Could you send your 6yo to boarding school? And if so, what sort of reasons would you give for doing so?
  13. Completely unsolicited, a man says to me: There are no bad children, just bad parents. How does that make you feel?
  14. Oh, Lordy, give me strength!
  15. I need a nit comb to get nits out of the lice comb.
  16. Someone needs to rethink digital calendars. The screen should always show three weeks in advance, regardless of what month the days fall.
  17. Our girls have devoured Magic School Bus episodes. What can I show them next?
  18. I want spats. (Red, of course.)
  19. You don't dance with stuff. You dance with space. So I replace my stuff with space and make room for dancing.
  20. Don't worry for me. Don't create a negative imaginary future for me. Know that I am gratefully here, and life is good in the moment.
