I know I take it for granted how lucky we are. How blessed we are to have two healthy boys murkily wading about our lives. I barely even think about their health to be perfectly honest. I mean that it in the high level sense, as I am still very much concerned about their level of activity and what … [Read more...]
Welcome weekend
Sometimes it just happens. For whatever reason, whatever last minute detail falls through, whatever window of opportunity suddenly opens, finding yourself on Monday after a spectacular weekend is a great feeling. Now the adjective spectacular to describe a weekend is obviously relative. For some … [Read more...]
Embrace the blah
Beyond the obvious time to grasp on to all things right and healthy to start anew, January also means the real commencement of winter. Not the airy fairy cocktails and wrapping paper, sleigh bells ring are you listening happy cloud that is December, but the real bear down with your cold hands … [Read more...]
Oh Holy Night?
So we had a great holiday this year and I will not write about all the Christmas minutiae, but there were two things that stood out this year more than anything. The first being our first ever excursion to church on Christmas Eve. We are not a religious family as my wife or me were not raised in … [Read more...]
Oh Christmas Tree!
Been focused on the season lately and all that entails from a family and social responsibility point of view, add some additional work fluctuation and writing here became less of a priority. I refuse to touch on the horror of last Friday only because the noise is quite loud and I would rather not … [Read more...]
Lockout over!
Sure the headline is hyperbole, but not in the Graham/White household. Let me start by saying that I may have been the world's worst hockey player when I was growing up. I was the kid that clung to the boards as my teammates and opponents raced by me, spraying snow into my crying face. I was huge … [Read more...]

I worry a lot about how I am raising my kids, which is ok, because it is pretty much the most important thing I got going on in my life. Besides corn nuts and Diet Coke naturally. Anyway, here are 20 unique and not so unique little and big things that I adore about my two boys: Hudson and … [Read more...]
Beautiful reminder
It is easy to let things slip away. Being a parent, being an employee, being a friend all demand chunks of time, energy and attention and being a partner sometimes gets shoved to the back of the bus. Then, for whatever reason, the connection seems distant, flickering instead of roaring and one … [Read more...]
Confidence man
Steph and I use, without ever really discussing it, a value-based parenting strategy. We try to teach our two apple-faced boys core values like honesty, integrity, fairness, empathy, among others in hopes these lessons become sticky, and, when it comes time to make a decision, whether small or big, … [Read more...]
Boxed in
I would like to dedicate this post to Brent. I do not know Brent, but he works in the same building as I do in downtown Toronto. He has worked downtown for about three years, previously working closer to Newmarket, a comparably easier commute to his suburban home. Brent has short hair, two kids, … [Read more...]
