Comfortable Shoes: A Homeschool Day
http://amazingamma.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-homeschool-day.html
View my complete profile. Thursday, January 24, 2013. After our first training session with the swim team yesterday, this is what our Home School day looks like. What a shock to the boys' systems! Little to no activity for over a month, then WHAMMO, straight into training for an upcoming swim meet. They take their swimming very seriously here and the boys swam 4000 yards last night (that's nearly 3.7kms! Not really a surprise that they're both shattered today.

Comfortable Shoes: Weighing In to the Gun Debate
http://amazingamma.blogspot.com/2013/01/weighing-in-to-gun-debate.html
View my complete profile. Thursday, January 17, 2013. Weighing In to the Gun Debate. So let me start with a disclaimer: this is a portion of what I think and feel. It is by no means the entirety of my thoughts nor have I come to any firm conclusions about gun control and my mind remains open to being convinced by sensible, reasonable and reasoned arguments. English: A man holding a blunderbuss. (Photo credit: Wikipedia. Firstly, let me say that I have grown up in Australia. Australia - King George III.

View my complete profile. Tuesday, June 25, 2013. Cooking up a Hot Mess with Paula Deen and Anne Rice. The recent allegations levelled at Paula Deen. Today, while meandering through my Facebook. S Facebook post, posing a question about the social vilification of Paula Deen. Did I ignore the link? Did I allow my fingers to hover momentarily over the link then brush them quickly away to another page? No I clicked the link. I read the initially apparently innocent question. Then I read the many many...It's ...

Comfortable Shoes: July 2013

View my complete profile. Tuesday, July 2, 2013. GoldieBlox Breaks into Toys R Us. This ad popped up on my Facebook. Newsfeed today and it caused quite a diversity of reactions in the comments. There's something about it that makes me uneasy. Take a look…. B2 still builds space ships and forts with the Lego blocks - minus any instructions (actually even if he gets a set with instructions, after he's built it, he takes it apart and builds something out of his imagination). Or the Duchess of York. So c...

Comfortable Shoes: April 2012
http://amazingamma.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Saturday, April 28, 2012. Ok, I was less inspired by today's criterion, but here it is anyway. From a high angle. Note: One should always have one's knife handy when one is on an iPad. Who knows what might leap out of the screen? Friday, April 27, 2012. I've always thought it odd that we have one word that is meant to sum up so many shades; green. It's nonsensical, of course, and also not true. English is replete with words that mean green. I loved this part of the project. ...

Comfortable Shoes: March 2012
http://amazingamma.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Friday, March 30, 2012. The time has come", the Walrus said. My recent trip to India. I don't know. But discomfort certainly. I remember every inch of that garden, of the house, because for me, that was my company. The garden became my magical forest. The place where a thousand adventures befell me. The house was my plaything. Immense and elusive, keeping her secrets well hidden, but tantalising me with the hint of a hidden secret if only I cared to look. Monday, March 26, 2012.
