It’s now raining. Unexpectedly. Heavily. Torrentially. My cloth bags are all wet again.
It’s probably my fault for being entertained by the irony of climate change and cloth bags. Oops… I must make an effort to not to be cynically amused by the weather anymore. Mother Nature should not be laughed at, you’d think I’d know [...]

Remember Dove’s “ground-breaking” Campaign for Real Beauty nonsense and their “Onslaught” video? And the fact that they are owned by Unilever who also own “Fair & Lovely” skin lightening cream sold in India? Have a look at this old post to see more on Fair & Lovely.

We got a push mower, yay! Our landlord left us a horrible petrol guzzling, noisy monster of a lawnmower in the shed and I’d say we only mowed the lawn twice all last year, it scared poor littlepixie so much, even when she was indoors, and the fumes were rotten.
So we got a push mower! [...]

It’s a beautiful day today, we had fog this morning which cleared to a bitterly cold yet incredibly sunny day. And in our front garden one proud little daisy stands strong in the frosty grass. Spring is on the way!
Littlepixie is still off her solids, she ate 5 peas earlier so we’re getting back on [...]

Have a look at this, it’s so beautiful it would break your heart!
We came home to Ireland to have littlepixie and raise her here and I’m happy we did, Ireland is our home. But when I see that ad on the tv I want to pull on my hiking boots, hop on a plane [...]

Littlepixie is signing “Elephant” now as well as “milkies”. I know it seems random, but there is an elephant mother and baby in “Mama, Mama” and I can’t make a good elephant noise, so I did the sign, I’m sure you can imagine it, you make a trunk with your hand. It’s very funny. She [...]

It’s the Winter Solstice today and it is a beautiful day, chilly and bright with a frosty crunch underfoot and a lingering fog from everyone’s breath. The sun was still well below the tops of the trees at noon and already making its way back to bed.
I found out today that you can watch the [...]
