Rockstar Goes Artjamming, Learns Something Else

Posted on April 1, 2012 by admin

Pre-Rockstar I used to love Artjamming, and used to paint (not particularly well) while I was pregnant with him as well… But I hadn’t realized it was kid-friendly and so held off coming back… To my surprise when I check … Continue reading →

Wow, They’re Growing Up Fast

Posted on February 24, 2012 by admin

“He’s my friend. He kisses me every morning. <rolls eyes> I don’t like it.” She tells me they playdate often, and on previous occasions I’ve often noticed them together. The boy with her is handsome. Some kids are cute, cheeky, one … Continue reading →

Posted on December 1, 2011 by admin

A lesson from the bad boys

Posted on November 11, 2011 by admin

MJ is a guy I used to know from Way Back When… Class clown, full of energy, gumption and chutzpah, he used to drive our teachers nuts. I remember my mum remarking he was such a tall good-looking little boy … Continue reading →

Posted on September 27, 2011 by admin

With sand and (clean!) sea to keep Rockstar occupied recently in Bintan, I got to read Peter Buffet’s Life Is What You Make It, and it occurred to me….. It doesn’t feel like we generally live an affluent life here, because … Continue reading →

Disposable T-Shirts at Stanley Market

Posted on May 12, 2011 by admin

Stanley Market I love cheap, “disposable” clothes as much as the Jacadi stuff. Each serve very different purposes. The Vilebrequin and Jacadi make me feel like Uber Put-together Mum (my child looks just like in the glossy catalogues!) even if … Continue reading →

Posted on May 11, 2011 by admin
