This past Sunday, Sean and I were discussing the week ahead. Cam would be gone from Monday to Wednesday on a school trip. Eva had a Sick Kids appointment on Tuesday and we were sorting out the day when Sean suggested we just ditch everything. Take Cuy out of school, take the GoTrain downtown and … [Read more...]
Dance Mom
This past week we started back into our fall routines; school, hockey (Cam), gymnastics (Cuyler) and dance (Eva). Our load is a bit heavier this year with Eva's dance. Last year she took jazz and acro and she absolutely loved it. She cried herself to sleep the night of her recital, when … [Read more...]
Lessons From the Pitch
Last Saturday I spent the morning sitting in the pouring rain, covered by the worlds worst umbrella. My jeans were saturated (is there anything worse?) and I wouldn't have been anywhere else. It was closing day for the kids' soccer. Cuyler had the first game of the day at 9:30am. They played … [Read more...]
Caught in the Act
Around this time last year, everyone on our street found a beautiful pot of flowers on their front porch. Every single house. The random act of kindness was delivered by one of our neighbours. His generosity filled the street again today. This time I caught him in the act. How … [Read more...]
The Space Between
Tuesday morning the kids were all up extra early. Showered. Fed a hearty bacon and egg breakfast. Dressed in the outfits that they had taken great care to choose for the very exciting first day of school. Cam bounded out the door at 7:45am to catch his bus. Sean and I took Cuyler and Eva to … [Read more...]
That’s a wrap.
I folded and took the boys for their back to school hair cuts today. For me, this signifies the end of summer. The end of stinky, sweaty hair that's greasy from sunscreen and messy from hats. The end of being in a friend's pool all day as an excuse to not shower. The end of being outside with … [Read more...]
No. Not Ready.
Walking through the mall yesterday, I bumped into a friend that I hadn't seen in awhile. She asked if I was ready for school to start. I replied "Y'know I could really do with another week or two at home with them." "Did you just say that?" she asked with wide eyes. "I did..." I meant it, … [Read more...]
Best Foot Forward
This past Saturday I spent the majority of the day in the boys' room purging. Closets. Dressers. Under the beds (gross). I wanted a clear idea of what, if anything, they needed for back to school clothes. I was able to clear out 3 garbage bags of throw out or donation items. I was relieved … [Read more...]
The Hate Letter / The Thank You Letter
Unless you live under a rock, you've no doubt by now heard about the hate filled, horrific letter that was sent to the family of a boy with autism in the Oshawa area. I haven't commented on any of the links that I have seen posted throughout my newsfeed. I just can't even imagine that someone … [Read more...]
It Gets Better
We're in a very good space with Cuyler right now. Which is kind of remarkable considering we are in week 7 of summer break with 2 more to go. I usually get through these last two weeks of summer break by the skin of my teeth. Counting down the days. Not knowing how I made it through each day … [Read more...]
