My son had his last soccer game of the year last night, which ended in a tie: 1-1. I prefer these tougher games - they're more gripping to watch, and way more fun than when one team completely creams the other, scoring six goals in the first fifteen minutes or something like that.He's had games … [Read more...]
Looking At Your Life
The other night, Ava Scarlett kept coming into the kitchen holding up photos in her hands, asking me who's this? and where was this? and is this Oliver or me? and was I borned yet? She must have come to see me about a dozen times before I finally followed her back to the TV room, whereupon I found … [Read more...]
The Way They Play – Part V
This child loves mud.No. She loooooooves mud, holy balls.We head outside each day, and as soon as I've turned by back for a second, she's walking towards me with a plastic container filled with dirt and water, and she's busily stirring it with a little spoon. Or a stick. Or with her fingers.It is … [Read more...]
Sprucing.
Sometimes a person can fall into a bit of a funk, and not even notice one's there until one starts to climb out of the hole.I'm not depressed, but lately I've been feeling the need to infuse a bit of change into the atmosphere. It's a natural by-product that comes from visiting other people's pretty … [Read more...]
His Crowning Glory Is My Hell
I'm talking about my son's hair here.(Okay, perhaps hell is too strong a word... but what a pain in the ass it is to manage.)During the winter months I can get away with washing it only once a week, but now that this kid is running every place, kicking soccer balls, playing tag, and basically … [Read more...]
Tell Me, What’s YOUR Favourite Colour?
Yesterday I sat on the couch with Ava Scarlett flipping through picture books with her, when Favourite Colour came on. She like this song a lot, the hip little girl does. So does her mum. (There's no real video to watch... just ear candy.)Me: *sidelong glance* What's your favourite colour, miss?She: … [Read more...]
From My Closet – June 1st, 2012
I wore this around town yesterday - the sweater is a really light weight knit in a gold thread, and I love the simple neckline. Good with the simple gold flip-flop and dark jeans. Simple is good. And when later I suddenly looked up and it was nearly 8 PM, and I had a drinks date in fifteen minutes? … [Read more...]
(On The Way Out) From My Closet – May 31st, 2012
Tidying up the closet... it's what I'm all about these days. Here's a sad case: I bought these men's style brogues from that place that rhymes with sinners sometime last year. They're Steve Maddens, and they're kind I usually LOVE: a brogue - trim, tailored pant suits, ties and such, make for great … [Read more...]
From My Closet – May 31st, 2012
I was at the place the rhymes with Sinners the other day, and while perusing the shoe section, I came across this pair of Coach sandals. In silver. And they were a neat size 5 1/2. I slipped them on, and decided they were quite good, but balked at the price: $99.99. Now, they're Coach, so I get it. … [Read more...]
(On The Way Out) From My Closet – May 30th, 2012
I was recently interviewed for this fashion thing by a friend of mine (I promise I'll let you know when it comes out) but ever since doing photos and things last week, and given the change in weather as of late, I'm back into "tidy-up" mode in my closet. There's a finite amount of space in there, … [Read more...]
