I always knew I'd love her from the start, but it was her leopard print shoes that clinched it. I managed to steal away from home for an extra day, before heading off to Blue Mountain with the other Urban Moms for a learning retreat with some fun times thrown in for good measure, and as happy as … [Read more...]
Cuddles
Cuddle - v. to hold close in one's arms as a way of showing love or affection, n. a prolonged, affectionate hug Well, we all know what a cuddle is, but in Ava Scarlett-speak, when she asks, Can we have a cuddle? what she actually means is she wants to go sit someplace of her choosing with you, so … [Read more...]
A Conversation About California
Ever since I read about California winning the right for gays to marry, I've been dancing around in my kitchen to this excellent song by the irrepressible Miss Diana Ross. [youtube id="F-mjl63e0ms"] I mean, how can you NOT dance to that?! (PS - closets are for clothes.) Oliver, who is home … [Read more...]
Having Needs Met Unexpectedly
Before Christmas, I wrote about being the unicorn - about being a bit of luck for someone else, and how these kinds of kindnesses can keep circling on the breeze... if you keep your eyes open, you never know what might fall on you. I have no doubt this is a true phenom because it happens to me all … [Read more...]

In The Pink
The end of the school year is here, and though we don't tend to reward our kids with gifts for the occasion, we have at times brought home something a child has been hankering for in particular, only because we don't often spoil them with things. Case in point: a skateboard for Oliver. He … [Read more...]

Only, here in Quebec, there's been an issue regarding the allowance of players to wear turbans during the games, … [Read more...]
Summer Cuts
Every other week, often on a Saturday (and often just after he's finished washing up the brunch dishes) Martin will turn to me and ask me if I'm ready for him. *smirks* I respond with a mais oui, and clear some room in the middle of the floor while he retrieves the black case from the … [Read more...]
Don’t Be Daft – Be Daft Punk.
You know how a new Daft Punk album just dropped the other day, right? And you're heard lots of ear candy already, riiiight? No?! Oh. Issokay. Allow me to school you... I like this track - it features Pharrell Williams, who I kind of adore (still awesome, though different from this track I … [Read more...]
