The tans are starting to fade and the memories of swim up bars and mimosas for breakfast are fading into swim classes and work schedules. We're leaving Jamaica behind us but taking the learnings from it. The big learning for me? I'm a bit lonely. More than a bit. And not just for a steady … [Read more...]
Jamaican Me Crazy!
Ya mon. We're midway through our Jamaican vacation! It's like a great novel! There are ups, downs, twists and turns! There are foreign languages! Nudity! High drama! Okay, this maybe slightly overstated but I have learned a few things! (The deep learnings will come later, and there have been … [Read more...]
Aging Gracefully?
This month I turn 45 years old. It's an interesting number for me. I feel, given the longevity of most women in my family (besides my mom), like it's the half way mark. It also came to me this weekend that in my 45th year, I will have had my step-mother in my life for half the time that I had my … [Read more...]
Maybe There Are Angels?
Will and I are heading on vacation in ten days. We're off to Jamaica (more on that later!) and both of us are bursting with anticipation. He's looking forward to the swim up bar, the mini golf and the Raggs Pirate Show. I'm looking forward to the swim up bar, the kids club and to hear the … [Read more...]
GPS Tracking For Kids???
Did you see this video that went viral yesterday? The one questioning how in hell we survived as children in the 60s, 70s and 80s? I loved it. [youtube id="GWRdHXbTmrs"] Honestly. We used to leave the house in the morning and not come back until the street lights went on. I remember not … [Read more...]
Size Doesn’t Matter…Or Guilt Either
I had Will in July of 2008. He spent a week in the NICU because he was just a little 5 pounder, or as my sister fittingly announced, 20 quarter-pounders. Three weeks earlier, one of my closest friends had a little boy. He also spent a week in the NICU. Both of them needed their blood sugar levelled … [Read more...]
WTF Is That?!
I've been at this blogging thing for awhile now. I'm guessing it's been around 10 years. Some of you may have read my original stuff, the WTF Blog. It was about things that would make you say exactly that, WTF. It was full of stories about my crazy pre-child life; dating stories; and Seinfeld type … [Read more...]
Death Becomes Me
A few weeks ago I was telling some new friends about my obsession with reading obituaries. This isn't a depressing habit. I'm not dressed in black, listening to the Cure on loop and dreaming of my demise. On the contrary! I probably spend half an hour every weekend pouring over the obits. Weeks … [Read more...]
RIP Scooby
For a first love, you were amazing. Loyal. So many laughs you had together. The adventures you went on. The meals you shared. Years from now, he'll look back and remember you with such an intense feeling. You will always have a piece of his heart. And for all of this I owe you so much. And I … [Read more...]
Happy FAMILY Day!
It's 2pm in the afternoon on Family Day. I'm in my pajamas. Sort of jones'ing for my kid who is spending Family Day with....family. A few weeks ago, we went up to an Olympic party in Barrie. Will asked where the party was and I said, 'at my friends Ryan and Jodi's'. He yelled 'NO'! I spun around … [Read more...]
