One-on-One for a Change
My Baby was born into chaos. As a third child, from Day One, her "mom" experience has been that of a crazy, screaming, overstretched lunatic. I'm almost always yelling. Almost always rushing. And almost always cramming her into her car seat to be dragged to hockey/soccer/dance/drama/piano … [Read more...]
Review: Lady Gaga Performs in Toronto
Last night my husband was taking clients to Lady Gaga and I got to tag along. I like her music and I find her persona intriguing, so I was keen to check her out and see what all the hype is about.

Never Say Never: A Mom’s Review
After a four-day weekend last week, I was at my wit's end as to what to do with the kids. The dark comfort of the movies called out to me and we settled upon Never Say Never as our choice.

The cosmetics section at Shoppers, Holt Renfrew, Murale: … [Read more...]

Coping with the January Blahs
I've been suffering from a major case of the January doldrums. It's cold, mornings are dark, and I've been finding it hard to motivate myself for even the most menial of tasks. But, in the past few days, I've perked up and found ways to cope on these dullest of winter days. Firstly, … [Read more...]
Random stuff
1. I finally got my hands on Season 1 of Modern Family. I am so excited. 2. In a salon waiting room, I came across the most divine spread of Jon Hamm in W magazine (with Rebecca Hall). I had to rip out the pics and sneak them home in my purse. The elderly woman sitting across … [Read more...]
