I just got back from the post office.  I was running to mail some overdue parking bills, Will's registration to soccer (woohoo!!!)  and a card to my friend in the States. To get there, I had to cut through Sears and some other spots in the Eaton Centre.  And of course, as the holiest … [Read more...]

Will and I were sitting on my sister's couch last night watching the trees go bananas outside with an impending, almost summer like, storm.  It made me think back to two years ago at this time when we spent many, MANY sleepness nights together doing the same thing.  Except he was in … [Read more...]

I have a few unhealthy pop culture addictions.  The first and foremost being my ridiculous additiction to reality tv.  It has somewhat subsided, what with having to give up everything other than basic cable...ahhh so long Little People, Big World - how I miss you Say Yes To The … [Read more...]

A bunch of mommy bloggers picked up on a Newsweek piece that ran last week about motherhood.  Specifically, it dealt with the the eight things that the author's kid is torturing her with.  I loved the article and I've been thinking about it ever since.  I love when mom's can … [Read more...]

Nope, this isn't a love letter to Will.  That kid hasn't listened to a thing I've said in three days, except 'do you want something to eat?' which gets a resounding head nod.  Nope, it's a love letter to one of Will's favourite people and to mine - his babysitter, Sarah.  (and no, she … [Read more...]

The TV pickings when I was on maternity leave with Will were awesome.  During the first few weeks of his life, we happily laid in bed watching Michael Phelps in a speedo...I mean winning gold medals.  Through the fall, we got to watch all the U.S. election coverage and watch Obama's … [Read more...]

I am one of four kids.  I'm the youngest of four kids.  Truth be told - I was a bit of an afterthought.  I believe the term was 'the best mistake they ever had.'  And while there are many times where I yell out, 'I wish I was an only child' - I never truly mean it.  I've … [Read more...]

Right after I got pregnant, I went away on a girls weekend with 5 of my friends, 4 of whom had kids.  While I sat soberly at the dinner table, the girls drank bottle after bottle of wine and told me one horror story after another about pregnancy and delivery.  It was ...unnerving at … [Read more...]

Before I went on mat leave, I used to write a blog called WTF.  You may have checked it out on some radio station sites across Canada.  It was a great forum for me to vent about stuff that really, TRULY, pissed me off or caused me to shake my head in disbelief.  (I also added … [Read more...]

This topic maybe a little controversial, but isn't that what we're here for? Some debate? Some controversy?? Driving to work this morning, I heard about Larry King and his wife divorcing - news is out that maybe Larry slept with her sister.  I'm DONE!  It's official - I no longer want to … [Read more...]
