hahaha..what a surprise to see I have become the “Martha Stewart” of busy moms! Loved the article Nan. Little people do love to be involved. Paint with Ryan on my lap all the time – we have to make it work somehow…a positive attitude and huge sense of humour goes a long way!

Trini, who knows? I suppose being carried around is more educational and better exercise than just lying there Sam used to do little jumps of joy when I moved from one side to the other of my work table, getting his feet into the waistband of my trousers and pushing off! I find it interesting that he finds drawing and painting so enjoyable now.

Great article Nan! I was trying to imagine the viewpoint of a little one watching curiously as you paint tiles. Also very interesting that babies who are held more frequently end up having better motor skills. Is it because they are going through the motion of the days with mom and feeling the flow?

Comment on Organizing Your Way to Spontaneity by vicki

Ooooo yes!
The studio at which I work very kindly upgraded my computer to a new swanky one.
I turned it on with glee.
I went to the Internet. Where were all my bookmarks?
I went to Microsoft Outlook. Where were all my addresses?
Oh *?!!!•••!
Luckily my old computer was still in the office and merely being moved to a new department. I was able to get everything back but oh what a lesson.
It is easy to take little conveniences for granted.

I absolutely agree – excercise is a great mood enhancer. My Friday night treat is a Body Combat class – all that punching and kicking gets rid of the week’s stress and sets me up for the weekend.

HA! I dunno. I have boys. I just scrubbed the toilet and then wrote “PEE IN THERE!!” in indelible pen, with arrows pointing to the water. My entire experience of parenting teen boys, summed up in one sad moment.

Comment on How can you increase productivity when you work from home? by Simon

Reading this distracted me from other work I won’t be using a kitchen timer but I’ve googled and found “virtual” versions for Windows 7 and Apple Mac OS X. Hope that’s not totally against the ethos!

Comment on 10 keys to happier living …. GREAT DREAM by Mary

Gosh! Aren’t they such a worry! I was quite shocked that she’d managed to fracture it in two places, as she didn’t seem to fall badly – she even giggled at the time!

And yes, DO change that Blackberry password.. the little tinkers are cleverer than we think. “Coffee”, “Holiday”, or sibling names a DEAD giveaway..
