Last year, we had a nameless recipient for EGP Award #28. I had set the task for you, my magnificient minions, to find this kid and announce to the world how awesome his parents are. And you found them. In the comments, we have heard from Audrey, Oliver’s mother and […]

Only the brave sleep in our Evil Lair. And with YOUNG spawnlings, we don’t usually sleep well. Although… APPARENTLY – I fell asleep on the couch this afternoon. Whilst breastfeeding Zaltu. I say apparently, because I was only made aware of it when the spawnlings woke me. So, apparently, I […]

Sinister is back at school on Wednesday. Nefarious starts next Monday. And I’ll be left alone with Zaltu. The Goddess of Strife herself. All 5 months of her. So of course, I started looking at Mummy-and-Me classes. Let’s see what’s available in our area: 101 Baby Electronics? Nope Baby Bounce-off-the-Walls? Not […]

Apparently, we’re running out of space in our Lair. I say “apparently” because we’ve just moved Zaltu into her own room and EG Dad is unsure how long she can share with the crapload of EG toys in there. We already have Sinister and Nefarious sharing a room, and who […]

We already know how evil grandma can be. This is just the beginning. EG Inc has travelled 2500km into the pits of Hades (read: Nth Qld in Summer) to visit family/demons. It’s bad enough that the heat is more repressive than a cooked laboratory, but now EG Grandma is taking […]

It’s the gift that keeps on giving. It is the present only another EG parent could truly appreciate. It is the thoughtful gesture that needs no reward greater than a simple nod of thanks, and yet deserves so much more. At least an EG Parenting award. And I want more. […]

EG Dad is the brains of the outfit. He has escaped. And left me with the minions at EG Grandma’s place. That’s right – we made it all the way to Grandma’s house, without tossing our cookies, only to discover the wolf disguised in a 4yo kid costume with a […]

She’s 6wks old and has already thrown down her gauntlet. Zaltu is definitely living up to her name and causing mischief. EG Dad has only ever once come home from work and asked what I did during the day. He lived to tell the tale, and warn others against such […]

My sanity does not come cheap. These school holidays, it worked out to be about $48. Each school holidays the spawnlings are allowed one movie day. Their choice of movie; their choice of junk food; their choice of who is dragged along with them. This time the choice was Disney’s […]
