We've had a couch in our kitchen ever since we renovated ten years ago. The one before the one we have now was a loveseat from Ikea my husband still had from his first apartment, back during his university days - probably already ten years old itself by that time. It had a horribly dated … [Read more...]
The Birthday Linger
Our little Madame turned five about a week ago, and I haven't felt terribly rushed about writing a birthday post about it all, since we're good at s t r e t c h i n g things out. We don't just celebrate the day, but around these parts, we're big on savouring the all the birthday time, slurping it … [Read more...]
Endurance
It's cold as a muther outside. This is no big surprise - it's January, and this is Canada... and yet, I still find it alarmingly cold when the thermometer dips quite this low. And as I've said a million times before, it's all just academic anywhere past -20 degrees Celcius. Beyond that is what's … [Read more...]
Oh, Do You Know The Lumineers?
I caught a performance by The Lumineers on Saturday Night Live this weekend, since I record that show, and I've found myself watching it again and again since then. I'm sure nerves played with their voices a little bit, but they really looked like they were having the time of their lives that night. … [Read more...]
Lettering in Awesome
I love to use letters in home decor. I acquired a large wooden "O" from somewhere along the way when Oliver was born, but after his sister came, and their room became a shared space, I found a smaller one - one in the same size as the two she received as a gift. (Still looking for a use for the … [Read more...]
Colour Me Happy: The Balls
You know how I like to arrange stuff by colour sometimes, right? I do it with my own closets, and when I was in Toronto back in October, I did my sister's closet, too. Since most of my clothes are black, this is fairly easy to accomplish. There's hardly any fun in it at all. *presses back of hand to … [Read more...]
The Tooth Fairy Fail: AKA Confessions
The day after Christmas, while we were at the cottage, Oliver's wiggly tooth fell out while he was brushing his teeth, and I remember being glad it didn't fall into the drain, lost forever. He put it under his pillow straight away, and I know he checked on it a few times that day, just to be sure it … [Read more...]
Nearly Five.
She keeps punctuating many of our conversations with, "I'm going to be five soon, you know..." As if it was a threat. It's been this way for months. And on the days when I'm really taking in our conversations (unlike the one when I'm just smiling and nodding, yes my darling) I notice how much … [Read more...]
Shadiness: The Christmas Babies
Around the holidays when my mother came to visit, we got busy making a little bed for the dolls Ava Scarlett was to receive for Christmas. My mother gave her one doll, and Santa brought her the other. I ordered a bunch of stuff online and had it all shipped directly to the cottage, where we … [Read more...]
New Year, New Pics!
On the first day of the New Year, while my hard-working husband was on the roof shovelling off the 45 centimetres that fell in the days prior, I was inside, still warm in my jammies, and opted instead to take pictures of our kids. (As if helping him was an option. Me? Roof?! SNOW??! … [Read more...]
