It’s finally Wednesday! Many Ghanaians will be heading to the polls; your Woman Crush Wednesday has reneged on doing argon oil review she’s been promising to do; you still haven’t lost any of the weight from stuffing your face during Thanksgiving and now your ONE good pair of holiday trousers is hugging your testicles like […]
My son’s class conducted a life skills practical in their fourth term. Each student was given a bean, a shallow metal dish and some moist cotton in which to plant the seed. The goal was to connect the bean’s growth to the story of Jan en die boontjierank (Jack and the Beanstalk). Stone is a […]
It’s been difficult to feign enthusiasm for the 2016 edition of Ghana’s election process, and with an incumbent government performing so poorly, that should serve as a red alert that something is fundamentally wrong.

I need to conserve my daily word allotment to reach that 50K word goal by the end of November, and I’m already 6 days behind. 🙁 Curious about #NaNoWriMo? Read about it here! I’ll still be on Twirra and Face-Waste Your Time-Book if you want to hook up. Looking forward to reading all of your […]
