Some … Continue reading The Difference Between Americans and Australians
Let's make no mistake, running the country would be no small feat. To even have the audacity to write a fictional series about how I'd run the country given the chance is a little obnoxious, but I figured, heck, why not, let's entertain the idea. The background story As voting citizens in a democratic society … Continue reading Running for Prime Minister 20YY – Vol.1
The very title of this post in itself is the giveaway to the whole premise of this piece I'm about to pen for you now. What do I want my kids to be? It's totally the wrong question to ask.

The theme of this piece is targeted towards those, who, like me, have a plate so full it's overflowing at the edges. You feel creative on the inside, yearning to write or create, but at the end of the day you're just so exhausted, even your dreams can't compel you to pen words on paper. … Continue reading Are you so overwhelmed you can’t get to life stuff in general?
I meme, we all love a good meme, right? Her crying woke me this morning, a little later than usual, but none-the-less, still before sunrise. As I lay propped up in bed, the open window giving permission to the cool morning breeze to sneak its way into our room, I sat there with a baby … Continue reading A compilation of the internet’s best memes on #NationalGrammerDay
