Already Missing Her

I’ve been telling you about Kylie for the past few weeks but what about my darling young man Shane? He did amazing in his exams and as a result got into the school of his choice. He is happy with his results, but I don’t see any eagerness in him to start at this new...

First Date

  The young man standing in the door was a handsome boy and when he saw my daughter walking towards him he broke out into a huge smile. From behind him, he pulled out a bunch of flowers.   "These are for you," he said handing my daughter a bouquet that consisted of a combination...

Movies that Matter – Hidden Figures

The power of this movie is like the title says, hidden. The children had seen the trailer and they come to us determined to see this movie and discover more about this once little-known story. When we sat down in the cinema we were all eager to discover the story. https://youtu.be/RK8xHq6dfAo Watching the struggles these...

She Is Growing Up

After the kids went to bed Mr. Divine and I had a long talk about Kylie's request to go on a date. She was getting to that age and we needed to allow her to start to understand boys and the way they behaved. “I want to hide her forever,” whispered Mr. Divine as we...

Young Men

Deep breath people, but my young lady has a young man who is interested in her and she seems to like him as well. She came to Mr. Divine and I full of jitters wanting to find out if she could to a movie then for ice-cream with him. I looked at her almost biting...

Movies that Matter – 10, 000 B.C.

Every now and then an epic is released and we are given the chance to look at a created world that is based on a loose concept of our past reality. Many people will, did and do pick at the errors that they see on screen, but I look to look for more than accuracy when...

Movies that Matter – The 13th Warrior

This is a movie I like to watch but so far I have not subjected my children to it. My main reason for holding off showing it to them is the huge amount of very realistic blood and gore portrayed. Despite that, I like the movie. This 1999 film stars Antonio Banderas, Vladimir Kulich and...

Movies that Matter – Sahara

I love Clive Cussler books, and I really mean love. To me, his books are like a history lesson and a full-blown action/adventure movie all rolled into one. So when I saw that his book ‘Sahara’ was being made into a movie I was beyond excited. The movie didn’t disappoint then and it still doesn't...

Socializing

In the past, I never went anywhere, but with my husband leaving me and coming to the realization that I was almost a recluse I started to take steps to change that. Things had changed a  lot in the past few years and I must admit by the time my divorce was final I had...
