If This Barn Could Talk
The smell of faeces, rotting food, and damp hay permeated the air, but Marlie's nose had become immune to the smell, and it no longer caused her to gag. This was the only home she had, and she didn't care if other's might find the smell offensive. Complaining would only fall on deaf ears.

How Many Flavours?
My taste buds pity those who have led a sheltered culinary life. Can you imagine being raised on a diet of hotdogs, meat pies, cheap pasta, and pizzas? Maybe throw in some McDonalds and KFC? On a busy night, it might be packet made macaroni and cheese, or two-minute noodles? I cringe just considering such a dull palate of food, and all the opportunities missed. How can parents do this to their children when the world of food has so much to offer? So many amazing flavours and textures, tastes and experiences, if only they would open their mouths and be a little brave. To be fair, if you do not have brave parents who are open to new culinary experiences, then chances are, the children will follow in their footsteps.

Hidden Under A White Sheep
"You're not a normal mother!". I cannot tell you how many times I have heard my daughter's say this to me. Sometimes, it is said with gratitude and awe, other times with disappointment and disdain. What I can tell you, is I am not going to change anytime soon.

Confessions Of A Scrap Addict...
DAY ONE: Dear Diary, The damage has been done and there is no going back. I took that fatal first step of attending a scrapbooking lesson today. Everything I thought I knew about creating and happiness, has been thrown out the window. I am now a junkie who will need her daily fix of scrapping. Please send help! But I honestly fear I cannot be saved.
