Hope Takes Flight

December 12, 2013 by Kath 2 Comments

It was the summer of 2009, and I was at one of my lowest points. My mother was dying, and my sisters and I, along with our dad and my brothers in law, stood vigil by my mother's bed in the palliative care unit at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (Canada’s leading cancer research centre and one of the … [Read more...]

Top Five Toys for Your Holiday Shopping List

December 5, 2013 by Kath 1 Comment

Christmas is fast approaching and while some domestic divas have already completed all their holiday shopping, I know I'm not alone in admitting that I have yet to get up the nerve to brave the mall parking lots and (even worse) cash register lineups! Now, I'm not exactly the type to avoid a mall … [Read more...]

In All Fairness…

November 14, 2013 by Kath 2 Comments

One of the first things you realize when you have your second child is that now the game is all about fairness. Or if not fairness then at least equity. This hit me like a ton of bricks when I was nursing my minutes-old second daughter and addressed her big sister by her then-nickname. I think I … [Read more...]

Beaming

November 7, 2013 by Kath 5 Comments

It's funny, you know, with adolescents. There's that constant push and pull in the parent-child dynamic, and just when you think you've got it all figured out, your teenager reminds you that, in fact, you don't know ANYTHING. And sometimes, that's a good thing. After all: as we get older and more … [Read more...]

Five Freezer-to-Crockpot Recipes for Busy Cooks

October 31, 2013 by Kath 36 Comments

As a busy working mom, I often find that the dinnertime crunch is, shall we say, overwhelming. And that's grossly understating it. Friends: when even your kids complain about the regularity with which you serve chicken fingers & oven fries, KD or (my personal favourite) cereal for dinner, then … [Read more...]

Women Can…

October 24, 2013 by Kath 2 Comments

I love the internet, and of all the wonderful things on the internet, I love Google best. Google and I, we get each other. Sometimes we'll stay up all night, and we've gotten to know each other so well that Google has started to finish my sentences. Well, not really. Although it might seem like … [Read more...]

What’s in a Name? A Beef, as it Happens…

October 17, 2013 by Kath 5 Comments

Earlier today I was reading Katya's post about the - ahem - interesting posters for the new movie, Nymphomaniac, starring (among other A-listers) Shia LaBeouf. Go check out the post (and in particular the gallery) - it looks like a very interesting film and no joke: the cast is incroyable. But as … [Read more...]

Best Hair Hacks That Actually Work

October 10, 2013 by Kath 1 Comment

Not that long ago I opened up and admitted that I regularly sport a look called "second-day hair", which essentially means that I only lather up and shampoo on alternate days. The days I don't wash it, I rock an assortment of different updos. But since I've only been sporting the long locks recently … [Read more...]

Politics: Why You Should Care

October 3, 2013 by Kath Leave a Comment

It's municipal election time here in Alberta, which means all kinds of fun and games in the race for mayor, city council and school board trustee. And before you ask, yes: there are people running against our immensely popular mayor, Naheed Nenshi. To be specific, there are eight people seemingly … [Read more...]

Pretty

September 26, 2013 by Kath 15 Comments

“Mom…why are you trying to look so pretty?” This from my ten year-old daughter today. There was nothing in particular going on this morning, other than my second-day hair. I did my hair up, as I usually do every second day. I call these updos (from sock buns to French braids to chignons) … [Read more...]
