Immortal Spring Onions and MacGyver boards.
Here is my theory on Pinterest. It’s basically MacGyver for women. It’s all like, “Here is how you can make awesome decoration for your house using just a balloon, string and some paint” and “Get fit...

Addicted.

Over-reacting.
B-bird and I have been rewatching the Supernatural episodes before we go to catch up on the two seasons we are behind. The first episodes are terrifying. I don’t know why but for some reason the end...

Butter – Recipe thing.
Several weeks ago I made butter. I have to say, I was pretty impressed with myself. I actually don’t (didn’t) really like butter. I just didn’t enjoy the taste. I knew margarine was full of nasty...

R-bird’s Enemy.
So R-bird has an arch-nemesis. It’s kind of weird when you look at him because without sounding biased he is completely adorable. He has this short spikey strawberry blonde hair and these giant hazel...

Twigs are cool too.
When I was a teenager I was – like most teens back then – pretty skinny. I had a baby and I was still pretty skinny. I had a second baby and got really skinny and people told me I looked sick. When I...

Socially Awkward.
Picking up children from school is a very awkward time for me. What I would love to do is sit in the car and read a book or do some knitting until the kids walk out. But you can’t do that in Prep,...
