It's over. Oh yes, it's over. 364 days until next year. Redemption will be mine. ** cue evil laugh **. I completed my first mini-triathalon yesterday. 500 m swim (in Lake Ontario?!); 20 km on the bike and then a 5 km run. So? How did it go? Well. Let's call it - The Good, The Bad and … [Read more...]
Hurting for Lisa Gibson…Surviving PPD
Last week it happened again. A mother, suffering from postpartum depression (in this case, likely psychosis), saw no way out but to take her own life and the life of her children. And like these cases always do, it divides people into two camps. Those who are left in tears, nodding their heads … [Read more...]
Fictional Characters I Wish Were Real
I went to see The Way, Way Back last night. Have you heard of it? It was AMAZING. Watch the trailer here. I laughed, I cried, I fell in love. With Sam Rockwell's character Owen. In love, as in when it was over, I was pissed that he wasn't a real person that I could stalk find and woo into … [Read more...]
Thinking About The White Masai
When I was away on vacation, one of the decadent aspects was reading three books in five days. I used to read all the time but now I find it easier to numb my brain with bad TV for an hour or two after Will crashes instead of picking up a book. Very bad habit. I enjoyed the books far more than I … [Read more...]
Dear Will’s 15 Year-Old Self
My baby is turning five on Monday. FIVE FREAKING YEARS OLD. Stop the damn clocks already. I need to apologize to every person whose eyes I wanted to tear from their sockets when they said that the time will fly. Okay. You were right. I'm finding it sort of unreal that the 5 pound, hairy lump … [Read more...]
Come On Feel The Noise!
And with that....our vacation is over. And I think something else is over as well. My history of solo vacations. Yes. I said it. To me, it's like a Dr. Phil moment. I'm waiting for him to come over and start yelling at me, 'But what doooo you mean, Sara.' I am someone that cherishes … [Read more...]
And We’re Off!
It's officially our summer vacation. Bags are packed (in my head). Sunscreen is ready (at the drugstore). Blankies are washed (tonight). Will and I are again busting out of dodge - it seems we've been on the road a ton lately. Tomorrow we head to the Nation's Capital. We're staying with my … [Read more...]
Great Family Getaway at The Viamede!
Pool, boats, decks, patio pub, hiking, beach, playground, farm. Do I have your attention yet? Will and I had an amazing opportunity to spend a weekend at the Viamede Resort on Stoney Lake. Stoney Lake is in the Kawartha Lakes Region of Ontario, a couple hours drive from Toronto. Or in Will … [Read more...]
Stop The Judging!
Monday afternoon, along with 8 million other people, we were driving back from Northern Ontario. But what the other 8 million people didn't have was a special blankie or three stuck in the Thule bag on the roof rack. Did you know that you can't really pull over and get a special blankie when … [Read more...]
And I’m Officially Old!
Back in high school, I had EPIC parties. My parents traveled a ton and my house would become the gathering spot. There was a bouncer who wouldn't let me back in my house but let random people leave wearing my sister's clothes! There was a missing wooden pigs tail found in a golf bag months later. … [Read more...]
