So my husband and I have decided that our eldest will be repeating Grade 7 next year. Why? Because he’s not ready for high school after the shit show that was quarantine home school. It’s not fair to push him to high school when he didn’t get a proper chance at anything this yr.

My boys always tell me their friends say I make the best lunches. I pack them stuff they’re going to eat and enjoy, to make the school day a little more bearable. I know it looks like a lot of food, but they told me a lot of their friends don’t get lunch, so I pack for sharing.

What happens when you’re change-resistant but also completely impulsive? You land up at a barber at 9am on a Thursday morning, because a meeting was cancelled, asking to cut off 20cm+ of your long hair that you’ve worn that way for more than 10 years.
