I am surrounded by waist-high piles of fruit in my kitchen: apricots, cherries, blueberries, you name it. Steve keeps brining home vats of the Okanagan goodness and while I am pleased, I am also tired out from processing all of it! I am not even going so far as to can things, but the washing, … [Read more...]
Almost August
I can't believe July is already behind us. This summer has been packed full thus far, but there are still four weeks to savour and enjoy and that is exactly what I plan to do! Howdy, August. May you trickle by us like molasses: slow, warm and thick. (OK, bad analogy; that sounds really … [Read more...]
Third World
My two older girls are off on an adventure with my husband's mom, so for the past few days we have been hurled back in time, to a day when we just had one kid. How did I ever think this was HARD? We have been playing at the beach, getting stuff done around the house, and it's … [Read more...]
Spread Thin
My life is a piece of toast, and I am a little square pat of butter, perched in the middle. The flat end of the butter knife comes to gently press me down, and my edges spread. Kids, husband, career, home. I am nowhere near reaching the edge of the toast, so the pressure intensifies and I get pushed … [Read more...]
Summer Birthdays
All of my kids were born in the summer: July, August, September. I got to waddle through the hottest part of the year in a muumuu, swollen with the sweaty weight of Life strapped to my gut, with a 4-litre frappuccino in hand and NO ONE could judge me. It was awesome. The thing with summer … [Read more...]
Blue Mountain Resort: Bring the Family!
I don't know about you, but I find family holiday planning a tad overwhelming. There is so much gear to pack, so many stops to map out, and it all kind of makes my head spin. But what if you could just load up your car once? Go for a short drive from the city and find a one-stop resort where … [Read more...]
There’s No Place Like Home
On Sunday morning, just as dawn was breaking, I snuck out of my house, dragging a suitcase behind me and blazed a trail to the Kelowna airport where I hopped on a Toronto-bound plane for a retreat at Blue Mountain resort with the lovely UrbanMoms bloggers. It was my first solo vacation (no husband, … [Read more...]
BAM!
I have been busier with work in the past two weeks than I have ever been in my life. It's been wild, and hard, but good and I was coping alright until I found a lump on my middle daughter's neck the size of a half-golfball. That will make the world stand still for you. I've taken her in to … [Read more...]
Twinsies!
"It was a Granny-Panty not-so-teeny navy polka dot bikini That she wore for the first time this year." Summer is here and the beach don't mind your cellulite! Get in the water and make the most of it! … [Read more...]
Swiftly Go
This weekend my husband and I are taking a whirlwind road trip to Vancouver to see Taylor Swift perform in concert. It will only be 24 hours away, but a welcome break in the midst of one wild week! We'll go for dinner, have a kid-free night of loud music, then sleep in the next day before loading … [Read more...]
