Too Scared for School

September 19, 2013 by Kath 2 Comments

“Mommy, I’m scared. Please don’t make me go!” All over the world, moms, dads, nannies and other caregivers hear the same refrain, morning after morning. Kids who don't want to go to school. Kids who are afraid to go to school. My Facebook feed has been peppered these past few weeks with the … [Read more...]

An Infiniti of Summer Days

September 12, 2013 by Kath 9 Comments

I'm missing summer. Hard. What with the back-to-school and the back-to-work and omigod the tired - I'm looking back on the lazy, hazy days with some serious summer-envy. It seemed to me then like an infinity of days filled with nothing more (or less) than … [Read more...]

Summer Wonder

September 5, 2013 by Kath 2 Comments

Every year when I go back to school in September and welcome a fresh new group of students, I ask them to tell me about their summer holidays: maybe they'll write me a letter, maybe they'll draw a picture. This year I asked them to sum it all up in two short words. If I had given myself the same … [Read more...]

Destination: Kelowna

August 29, 2013 by Kath 2 Comments

When I was in my twenties, my mom inexplicably developed a desire to change careers: "I think I could've been a truck driver," she'd say, happily ensconced behind the wheel, chauffering the family on a long drive to wherever. I never understood her strange love of the long-haul, always preferring … [Read more...]

The Fine Line: Raising Teenage Girls

August 21, 2013 by Kath 9 Comments

“I hate these blurred lines/I know you want it…” There has been a lot of media attention directed at Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines lately, much of it critical. Thicke’s catchy tune has been called everything from misogynist to “rapey”, but are these criticisms fair? Well, I suppose that all … [Read more...]

Thrifty Threads

August 15, 2013 by Kath 10 Comments

Last week I posted about my favourite thrift shop find: my kitchen dining set. Well, this week I found myself at our local thrift shop again, this time bringing in eight full garbage bags of clothes and toys for donation. And once there, what the heck, might as well go in, right? Right. So, in … [Read more...]

About Hometowns

August 15, 2013 by Kath 2 Comments

A little while ago, a Facebook friend posed this question: "How long do you have to live somewhere before you call it home?" The comments were varied and interesting: there were military brats who said they just picked their favourite city to call home, because they never lived anywhere longer than … [Read more...]

Thrift

August 8, 2013 by Kath 5 Comments

Thrift (noun) The quality of using money and other resources carefully and not wastefully. It's something we could all likely do with a little bit more of, isn't it? With the ratio of household debt to disposable income approaching 150% in Canada, most of us have clearly lost sight of what our … [Read more...]

The Mother I Want to Be

August 1, 2013 by Kath 5 Comments

My mother was an angel. No lie. The woman had a near-endless supply of patience and I swear she almost never raised her voice at my sisters and me. She was just the kind of mother I would like to be, but struggle to become. It's not like my sisters and I never misbehaved or that she was never … [Read more...]
