If we were having coffee, you couldn’t help but notice that we’ve blown all the fuses. Isla is running around going, ‘My house is dark. It ran out of batteries!’ Five minutes ago, we were watching Alice in Wonderland. Now, Isla’s face is lit by my phone screen. No, I can’t buy you that Lego set. And please don’t post that egg video on Facebook. In other news, what music do you listen to while taking down the Christmas tree?…
I think I’ve rambled about Litsy once or twice. Some groovy people over there are doing the #LitsyAtoZ challenge. The last time I tried something like this, I got stuck on E.

Part of the re-vamp of this blog will be me participating more regularly in memes, blog-hops and other social blogging projects that I like/make sense to me/want to share with others. One of those such things is Top Ten Tuesday from The Broke and The Bookish. Today’s list is Resolutions for 2016. I prefer the term goals. Let’s call them goals. See, they’re trees, um, goals.
