Okay, so it's been a little over two weeks now that I've been following the Weight Watchers 360° program, and I'm sure all you want to know is, how much weight have I lost so far? Well, I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm going to put you off a little. It's for a really good reason, though! You see, … [Read more...]
Tickle my Facebook Fancy
I was chatting with a colleague the other afternoon about how our use of Facebook has changed over the years. What with ads and recommended pages and the degradation of even the suggestion of privacy, we just don't share the same kinds of things we felt comfortable sharing on Facebook just a few … [Read more...]
Not-so-secret Secrets of a Not-so-perfect Mother
I remember having a t-shirt as a kid that said, "Pobody's Nerfect", and these days I find I'm repeating that mantra to myself a lot. Here's the thing: as parents we all have a heck of a lot going on in our lives and there are bound to be times when we just have to take a step back, throw our hands … [Read more...]
One Down…
Um, wow. It pretty much never happens but you guys have rendered me nearly speechless with your outpouring of support and encouragement on my last post. It's always kind of nerve-racking when you sit down at the computer and prepare to open up about what is pretty much your most shameful "secret" … [Read more...]
A Before and After Story
Do you know why my blog is called Losing It? It's not only because this life is such a wild and crazy busy ride that I often feel like I'm losing my marbles, although that's a convenient coincidence as it turns out. Many of you likely don't remember, but way back in May 2006 when I started this … [Read more...]
The Sweet Silence of Down Time

And although I would prefer I had written more faithfully on my blog, I can honestly say I've enjoyed these last few quiet weeks. I've been rather silent on social media, and days have gone by where I … [Read more...]
Kitchen Rescues Courtesy Kraft
You know those nights, right? It's late, everyone's hungry, you just got back from work and there's hardly any food in the pantry. What to do for dinner? Well, there's always the take-out option, but before I run for my wallet and the drive-thru, I always check the Kraft Canada website and their … [Read more...]
My Top Ten Holiday Songs to Listen to and Sing
One of my most favourite things about this most wonderful time of year is the music. Whether singing in the church choir as a child (where I acquired the very valuable life skill of properly pronouncing hosannah in excelsis), or big carol-sings in the school gym, with the lyrics displayed on … [Read more...]
What’s Your Advantage?
As a teacher, I often get asked by parents, "what can I do to help support my child's learning at home?" It's a really important question, because a really great education depends on a strong partnership between the two most important influences in a child's life: her home and her school. I love … [Read more...]
Our New Holiday Tradition
This year marks the second Christmas for my girls since their Dad and I separated. It's also going to be the first Christmas since the separation that we spend alone, at home, just the three of us (last year we flew from Calgary back 'home' to Toronto to be with my extended family). I spent a … [Read more...]
