      I took a class once that talked about this very thing, how front lawns are becoming a thing of the past and the impact it’s having on neighbourhoods, community, childhood. I took some odd courses. 🙂

      It was interesting though, and so true. We always sit out on our front lawn in the summer although we seem to be the only ones in the neighbourhood who do. People probably think we’re a little bit nuts, but oh well!

      It just isn’t done here. My ILs would look at you strangely and say, “But that’s what the backyard is for…”

I've been trying to clean up my inbox because I ha I've been trying to clean up my inbox because I have thousands of emails that I don't need to keep anymore. I came across emails from me to me. I read them expecting them to be to do lists. Instead they were scenes from a story I must have been working on at some point but I only had a vague recollection of the plot.  Does this happen to you? #wherewasi #whatwasiwriting #incompletestories #ihavenomemoryofthisplace

My eldest struggled with reading. He loved books a My eldest struggled with reading. He loved books and avidly went to the library to borrow books he didn’t own.  He loved being read to all the time but he just wouldn’t pick up a book to read it himself. He particularly loved Captain Underpants books at that time so I just didn’t get why he wouldn’t just read it himself. Until I gave him a Minecraft. I had combined his love of books with his love of Minecraft and, in just a couple of weeks, the reluctant reader became a non-stop reader of all books from fiction to non-fiction. Now half of his Christmas wish list is full of books he wants to read. #reluctantreaders #booksaremagic #booksopenuptheworld #givethembooks
