The Home Stretch
byYou might have picked up on this if you’re a long term reader of my blog, but Tracey is much better at this parenting gig than me. We can both look at the same situation and come up with totally different solutions.

The Maldives – not just for honeymooners and people with silver spoons
The best conversation of my famil to Maldives came on the last night on the clean streets of Singapore, and started with the simplest of enquiries.
Being away from the family has not been without its difficulties.
‘We’ have arrived in the most romantic place on Earth.
“I need you to check out a dating website,” is not the sort of thing you expect your wife to be telling you.
Love to hear feedback from anyone who signed up to try #Mathspace like us – well over three hundred people headed over from my post a while back for a look. At the time I said I’d review our kids’ experience with the program and, rather wonderfully, @Westpac contacted me and said they’d sponsor that too! This is what’s known in the blogging industry as ‘winning’.
Maybe I’m doing it wrong.
I was downtown yesterday when I was accosted about my very public stance on same sex marriage. Several times.
Here’s something I probably shouldn’t admit – I’ll accept just about any friend request which comes my way on Facebook.
I lost a fight with my son today, and I’m so damn proud.
“What’s a merkin?” asked Miss13, joining in a conversation I would later claim to have totally had under control.
We fail, again, to make a good first impression…
Now I’m the first to admit I own the ‘have a daddy look’ cliche: I can’t see the butter if it’s hiding at the front of the fridge under the cheese slices.
Home-schooling is going so well some days it feels like we’re starring in our own Idiocracy film.
Thank you to Westpac for supporting our family and sponsoring this post. On that, have you heard about the deal Westpac has brokered where they’re footing the bill for parents ($99) to enrol their kids in the Mathspace Essentials numeracy program? Worth taking a minute to check it out at the bottom of this post after you read about how good a teacher I am not.
