Samoans. We’re everywhere.
The world can be a very small place when you're Samoan. The extended family is key in our culture. So no matter where you go, you can be sure that you will stumble across someone who you're vaguely related to. Who knows your parents. Your aunty. Who went to school with your cousins. Who comes… Continue reading Samoans. We’re everywhere.
Adoption. ‘Can we give him back, please?’
The one thing me and Angelina have in common.Some people think adoption is 'the easy way to be a parent'. They scoff at actors like Brangelina and their rainbow brood. And talk like war-veterans when they encounter an adoptive mother and her child, "Oh you dont really know what its like to be a parent...not… Continue reading Adoption. ‘Can we give him back, please?’
Where mothers fear to tread.
"And this too shall pass away...even Bieber-fever..."My daughter just turned 13. Which means she’s one step further into that zone where mothers shall fear to tread.

I hate going for a ride as a family because the car is a Santa Fe and there's seven of us and… Continue reading Big Kiss Noises for Motherhood.

The Fury of a Demented Domestic Goddess
Everybody's got a little bit of psycho in them...I am so sick and tired of people thinking I do nothing. That because I don’t go to an office or a factory and clock in for a 9 to 5 job – that therefore I have oodles of time on my hands and I’m oh-so-lucky-to-be-idle-me. Indeed,… Continue reading The Fury of a Demented Domestic Goddess
American Idol – Is it safe?
I am an avid follower of American Idol. The bestest part about it would have to be the insults. The crushing put-downs. The devastating critiques. And then we sit here and ask the TV - WHY? You fool! Why did you try out when you cant sing for @#$*&?! Yes, watching American Idol is great… Continue reading American Idol – Is it safe?
