Oliver is home for a PED day today. (Again.) As he's bigger than the Small One, we've been just sharing the house space all morning, doing things separately, until he needs food.

Wipe(s) Out
My youngest stopped using diapers over two years ago (which I'm still rather joyous about) and though we managed to use up the last of the diapers, we still had two large bag of wet-wipes left over.

Right Now
I came back from a baby shower this afternoon, which is always a lovely affair, and becoming more rare an occurrence these days, given the general age of my friends and I.

Thousands of Words
A friend of mine rolled through town the other day... he was only going to be in Montreal for 36 hours before heading to New York (next stops Stockholm and Paris) and asked if I had time to do a little photo shoot with my family, since one of the things he does is take pictures.

Seriously?
Two days ago, I came home to a Yellow Pages directory on my front doorstep.A Yellow Pages.A big, fat, four-hundred pound Yellow Pages book. Yes, really.I can't remember the last time I even cracked one of those things open. Has it been ten years yet? I'll bet it's been longer than that. I don't even … [Read more...]
Eco-Chic-ness
Madame starts at a new preschool this week. It's actually at the same place she's gone to camp for the past two summers, so it's not exactly new to her. But schools are different, and have different protocols at various points during the day - the dealings of the lunch and snacks are no exception - … [Read more...]
Lice, Laundry, and Weekends Guests
Last Thursday I spent the day getting the house ready to receive some friends for the weekend - fortunately they were due to arrive past midnight, which though quite late, gave me the extra hours I needed I get organised.
