Embarrassing Moments
Every now and then I see a meme that reads something about having anxiety over an embarrassing moment from years ago and that you’re an embarrassing human being. *Don’t quote me on that, I will find the original meme because it’s funny* Anyway, I see it every now and then and every time I’m reminded…

British Banter
I think we had a “we’ve arrived” moment yesterday but I messed it all up and I’ll probably think about it for the rest of my days. For the first time in recent memory it wasn’t raining so, we took a chance, and drove up to the east coast so we could visit with a…

Doggy Bag
The youngest and I went for lunch at a local Indian restaurant a while back. Really, we went because Tom Holland and Zendaya had been spotted there earlier that week and we were hoping maybe they would come back for more. They didn’t but, regardless, we still enjoyed our tasty meal. At the end, we…

How to Get a Dog in England
This is less a “How To…” and more a cautionary tale. In November, we were tricked into getting a puppy by the 12-year-old and a very compelling Power Point presentation assuring us she would be the best dog mom on Earth. Obviously, she was lying but, as many schmucks parents have before us, we fell…

What Is It Like Raising Children Overseas?
Exactly what I was hoping would happen is happening. My girls are becoming understanding and empathetic towards others. Yesterday, my youngest told me she would be fasting today. When I asked her why she said it was because her friend had been trying to fast for Ramadan but had broken the fast twice. In other…
