Lets get this outta the way first. Dawn asked me to come and blog sit, despite the fact that I am a foul mouthed shoe whoring AUSTRALIAN. Yeah, you don’t get much more out there than that. So given the opportunity to flagellate someone else’s blog is well, freaking sweet baby. Will try to keep […]

I can only imagine …

what it will be like …

Minding our own bidness, because that is how to best get along at a […]

Pssst. Is she gone yet? Is the coast clear?
Whooohoooo. Party at Dawn’s place, hosted by yours truly, Janet!
Usually, I hang out in my own universe … on the Planet of Janet, with the Wonderhubby and my daughter, the Roo-girl (13), and my stepdaughter, J-bear (17). I have three older sons as well, but they don’t […]

Tell your Birth Story

Lotus is asking for birth stories, and as that woman loves my BEWBS, I have to give her what she’s asked for.
I wrote the longest birth story in the history of birth stories, for you, for today, I’m reposting the last part, or the “good part” if you will. If you want the whole thing, […]
