I am now a blogger for Literary Illusions, a new blog dealing with news, celebrity gossip and opinions. As you all know, I am not really up on the celebrity gossip part - my music collection froze in the nineties - but I am really great at opinions. Just ask me! So I am the parenting opinions blogger there. I'd be thrilled if you all went over and had a look.

The newest member of our family is Bella. She's an adoptee from the RSPCA, and a sure sign of how much my husband loves me. Bella has enchanted us all, and squeezed her tiny self straight into our hearts, and computer games.

for multiple teachers.

Christmas at the Gold Coast was unseasonably cold.

Fine Print: Due to stupid photo upload limit, the remainder will be posted above. There isn't that much more, though.
