Fat Millionaire

November 25, 2007 by Jen

So last night I'm at a hen party, right, and we play this game kinda like truth or dare. The question for me is: "Would you rather have a million dollars or be at your goal weight for life?" What do you think I answered? What would you answer? ...tell the truth! … [Read more...]

The Weather Outside is Frightful!

November 22, 2007 by Jen

So, when I finally woke up this morning at EIGHT A.M. this is what I woke up to: I had exactly 20 minutes to get my kids up, dressed, and fed, have a shower and get out the door. I needed to take my son to a doctor's appointment about 10 minutes away. Needless to say we were late. What put us … [Read more...]

Help Us Make urbanmoms.ca Better

November 20, 2007 by Jen

The past week or so has been overwhelming for me to say the least. We have been so amazingly busy here at urbanmoms.ca. I am very thankful for that but also aware of the time away from home and my slightly wonky list of priorities. In addition to all of that the holidays are fast approaching and I … [Read more...]

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

November 20, 2007 by Jen

I have learned a lot about myself in the last few months.  Some of it good.  Some of it not so good.  Some of it downright ugly.  I have been a single mom for about 5 months now.  Just to let you know, I survived Thanksgiving intact.  And I survived my son’s 8th … [Read more...]

Curdled Custard Ice Cream, Anyone?

November 20, 2007 by Jen

Last year I spent a lot of time baking goodies to give away as Christmas gifts, and I plan to do the same again this season. I love doing it for a number of reasons: ONE: It satisfies my baking-ache, without having dozens and dozens of goodies sitting around our house, tempting us to eat them all. … [Read more...]

Disney: How to get started

November 20, 2007 by Jen

All the guide books and web sites have mountains of information. It can become your full time job for weeks if you let it. Before you jump right in, I found half of my work was done my simply identifying the following: 1. The age of your kids? Many of the signature rides require that children be a … [Read more...]

Everyone carries with them a

November 19, 2007 by Jen

Everyone carries with them a list of things that they would like to have, I think, this secret list of wistful belongings. At the very top of mine - not surprisingly, I suspect - was a stand mixer, which I have wanted for YEARS. Stand mixers say Serious Baker, I think, and how I WANTED one. Every … [Read more...]

My favourite books

November 18, 2007 by Jen

The book I'm currently reading, Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert is proving to be very disappointing.  It's well-written for the most part but it's also self-indulgent and whiny. To put it bluntly - sometimes I want to slap the author out of her self-obsessed whining, and yell "Snap … [Read more...]

Cheese…Chee-eese…

November 17, 2007 by Jen

It calls my name, cheese does. I love it. I have a hard time resisting it's smooth, creamy, nippy, melty goodness. In fact, I can't think of a single food that is not improved by the addition of cheese. And, you know, it's that time of year again, when my Hubster leaves his family so he can go and … [Read more...]
