I am his favourite

Spread Thin

July 25, 2013 by Amanda 1 Comment

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...]

On Girlfriends and Conversations.

July 22, 2013 by Tracey 3 Comments

Those who know me well know I probably prize excellent and weighty conversations above just above everything else. And at this stage of life with young kids in it, when they require so much of your attention, and your energy, it is especially sweet when one can kick back and chat, uninterrupted, … [Read more...]

25,000 adult mornings

July 17, 2013 by Nancy Leave a Comment

Apparently if we are lucky we have 25,000 adult mornings. (When I read "adult" I think naughty and nice but I don't think that is what they are talking about) How we start them affects how we live each day. How we live each day affects our lives Apparently most of us start each day the exact … [Read more...]

That Time I Met Alice…

July 14, 2013 by Tracey 5 Comments

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...]

words for wednesday-paddle your own canoe

July 9, 2013 by Nancy Leave a Comment

I have long loved this phrase. It means what you know it does- be strong, be independent, follow your own path, be yourself. We started art camp with the question "what is your most cherished trait?" Mine is two because choosing is  hard  and, well, it's my game, so I make the rules- my … [Read more...]

[youtube id="BOksW_NabEk"]I am a visual learner so this kind of thing really speaks to me. I feel very lucky when he says "laughing, swimming and doing art" because I will be doing all of those things today. What will you do today that makes you feel alive ? … [Read more...]

Stop The Judging!

July 4, 2013 by Sara 5 Comments

Monday afternoon, along with 8 million other people, we were driving back from Northern Ontario.  But what the other 8 million people didn't have was a special blankie or three stuck in the Thule bag on the roof rack.  Did you know that you can't really pull over and get a special blankie when … [Read more...]
