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!
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
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
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...]

Everyone carries with them a
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
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…
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.
