I Don’t Like the Wind
“I don’t like the wind,” he said. But how then, would the sail boats sail? And how would the windmill turn? And what about the bird, that hovers magically still in the air, against a steady current? That must be fun. Imagine if we condemned the clouds, to be only still? Never to move, or [...]

You know those moments that seem to freeze in time somehow?
He rang while I was at the park. At the time, I was wondering if one of the kids would break an arm on the spinning thing they were on. As soon as I heard his voice, I started to cry. I’m not usually a crier, but when he said, “It’s so good to hear [...]

Bright and Happy
My son turned 5 recently, and my husband made this lovely train cake for him. I thought it would be fun to use the food colouring in glass tumblers and buy simple white flowers to go in them. I guess this can double as a bit of a science experiment too, if you have flowers [...]
