About Me
- About Me: Hello there. I’m not truly “mad” per se... I am simply the mommy to a 10-year old and an 8-year old. Here you’ll find my daily, semi-daily or whenever postings about the fun we have 24/7. I love to write... some days I may not write a word, most days I will write, write, write. Watch out! Oh yes, I suppose I ought to explain the odd word, Zvanoizu. Technically it is Zvan-oizu and it isn’t really a word... a friend of mine created his own language for a fairly extensive fantasy world he has created. Zvan-oizu means “mad mommy” in that language. Nifty.
