The Balancing Act

October 17, 2014 by Sara 1 Comment

I've written before about my issues with mornings in our house. Put it this way, if I won a kabillion dollars, the first thing I would buy is a house elf to look after mornings in our house. Just a little help to get Will up, dressed, fed and off to school. Every morning ends in tears at daycare … [Read more...]

Teaching The Basics – 3 R’s and Lock-Down

September 24, 2014 by Sara 1 Comment

I still love picking Will up at the end of the day. When he was a baby, it was his big smile that would greet me as he crawled to the gate. When he started to walk, the waddle over to the door totally rocked. As he got bigger, I still got the run and the giant hug, but I've since learned to bend … [Read more...]

Share Your Shame!

September 15, 2014 by Sara 2 Comments

I was driving to work today and heard this piece on CBC about Dear Diary, essentially the Toronto Mortified Nation. Basically, it's a stage show where everyday people get up on stage and read from their high school diaries. I think I want to do it. In grade thirteen, I religiously wrote in a … [Read more...]

Ready, Aim, Pee?

September 9, 2014 by Sara 1 Comment

As a single mother of a boy, I've mentioned before that I had a few "guy" things that I was worried about when it comes to raising him. #1 on the list: who was going to teach him how to pee standing up? I can't even pee and crouch for godsakes. Yup. That was me on an Outward Bound mountain … [Read more...]

Living Your Dash

September 4, 2014 by Sara 2 Comments

Tonight I googled 'sad for no reason' because I have been just that for a few weeks now. What I found was a website with two people performing a random modern dance in white shirts and their gitch. It made me smile. Smiling is good. I miss it. I know I go through these slumps, as you know I do if … [Read more...]

Confessions of a Co-Sleeper

August 26, 2014 by Sara 2 Comments

When you become a mom, everyone has those statements that they lay on you.  You know the ones that you nod politely at, smile and in your head are calling bullshit. A. It'll go so smoothly after six weeks. B. Soon you won't remember all these sleepless nights. C. To stop them from crying, … [Read more...]

RIP Robin Williams

August 12, 2014 by Sara 3 Comments

I generally write my blog posts in my head, as I'm biking home or stuck in traffic in my car. Tonight, I was writing about Will's new obsession with movies. How much I love it. Like it makes me happy in a way that I find hard to explain. I was planning in my head the movies that I want to rent to … [Read more...]

Adam and Eve OR Lemurs?

August 6, 2014 by Sara 2 Comments

I am not a religious person. I'm famous for saying, 'I don't know — God, Jesus, whoever,' because instead of paying close attention in Sunday School, I was thinking about helping to serve the coffee to the adults after the service. I did love going to church with my family, though. I once placed … [Read more...]

What If?

July 23, 2014 by Sara 1 Comment

I would classify myself as a "What if?" girl. I'm sure a good therapist would have a million reasons on why I constantly ask that question to myself. This isn't a new thing, I've been doing it for years. Now that I recognize I have issues with anxiety, I'm assuming this is the cause. Or is it the … [Read more...]

All Aboard Via Rail’s Ocean Line!

July 17, 2014 by Sara 1 Comment

Last week, Will and I had the amazing opportunity to join Via Rail to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the Ocean. The Ocean is Via's rail line that runs between Montreal and Halifax, up and down the St. Lawrence and through New Brunswick. It's a day long voyage, passing absolutely beautiful … [Read more...]
