Yesterday, our house awoke to a massive downpour, replete with lightning and thunder and much-too-dark-ness for seven in the morning. I snapped a pic to show our city council woman, who also happens to be a friend who lives at the top of our street:As it is such an old city, Montreal has some sewer … [Read more...]
Dining Al Fresco and Talking
Today she said, "Hey mummy, do you think we can eat on the balcony outside? It's such a beautiful day, you know. Is that unusual?"She drops new words in and out of her sentences these days, not always sure they fit. Me: What do you mean?She: Hmm?Me: What do you mean by, is that unusual. Is what … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – May 28th, 2012
I bought a few items online from Gap and Old Navy several weeks back... it's finally warm enough for Madame to wear the dresses outside, as opposed to slipping one on over her pajamas and begging me to wear them during the chillier 12 degree days of May we'd been experiencing. It's finally balmy all … [Read more...]
The Negotiator.
Oliver is getting wise as to the ways of Wearing Your Parent Down. And holy crap, is he ever getting good at it...He: Can we buy Fruit Loops?Me: No.He: Why not?Me: Because it's an expensive box of food colouring and sugar, and I don't have money for that. Have a cookie instead.He: Well, can we have … [Read more...]
A Tip For The Laundress
As the Laundress of this house, I make it a point to keep all monies I find during the clean-up. I mean, if I have to deal with shredded kleenex swirled around in the wash, or petrified apple cores, I'll consider this lost money as a tip. If you can't remember to empty your pockets, then you deserve … [Read more...]
From My Closet – May 24th, 2012
Nothing says "simple" like jeans and a t-shirt, but we don't have to be all schlumpy about things (if we don't want to) and it's easy to perk things up with a some heels and a bit of bling. I love the cut of this off-white burnout v-neck tee, which has a rounded hemline, and very short sleeves - … [Read more...]
Hey, What’s That Smell?
Now and again, our hall closet seems to experience that not-so-fresh feeling, and I want to run out and by some Massengill. Massengill for Closets, I mean. A douche for your depository, maybe? Go have a walk on the beach and talk about it with your mother. (Hold hands, even.)It's a normal phenomenon … [Read more...]
Getting Nothing Done.
I pretty much took the week off from wife-ing and mothering. I had a social media conference to go to on Tuesday, and between the cocktail party the night before, and the post conference dinner and drinks, and then that magazine launch party I went to last night... well, in a few short days, … [Read more...]
From My Closet – May 17th, 2012
This outfit is actually from last night, but I know you'll forgive the delay. Le sigh. Disco naps are never long enough. (Also, they're pre-makeup... I can't do everything at once, you know.) I went to a jam-packed, tres swishy soiree at Montreal's Bice restaurant for a magazine launch - Diary of a … [Read more...]
From My Closet – May 16th, 2012
It's been a busy week so far, so these oversized sunglasses are completely necessary. When they're THIS big, they can conceal a multitude of sins. I'm exhausted. But? I look fabulous. I am soooooo #winning. And to add to the "cartoonish" nature of this outfit, I picked up this lightweight knit … [Read more...]
