Will and I are busting out of dodge today!  His daycare closes for two weeks every year and these are them.  I was going to try and find childcare for him and then I thought - screw it!  I want two weeks off with my boy.  So we're loading up the car and heading off. We are … [Read more...]

My mother was deathly afraid of snakes.  I'm talking - pee your pants, squeal like a baby, rip your head off if you joked about them - fear of snakes.  She passed this fear on to me - along with wide hips, a fierce need to control my environment and her death look.  When I had Will I … [Read more...]

So far my summer has been road trip central and strangely, three of the past four weekends I've spent up at or near Blue Mountain.  Before this I'd maybe been up there for an odd weekend here or there - and a wedding when Will was 2 weeks old!

A few weeks ago, I was listening to the Derringer in the Morning show on Q107 in Toronto and heard my friend Ryan Parker talking about his uncomfortable playground situation.  Like most things that Ryan talks about I was dying laughing and thought hmmmm....we need to do a little 'he said - she … [Read more...]

I've written before on how blessed I am to have many solid female friendships.  One of these groups are the wives and/or friends of all the guys I hung out with in high school.  Essentially, I've dumped the dudes and kept all the women that they overachieved with by landing. This weekend - … [Read more...]
