first swim of summer

June 30, 2013 by Nancy Leave a Comment

  If your summers have followed a familiar pattern, first swim,  in the lake you have known forever, will wash over you with all the memories of all the summers you can remember. You are the little girl who swam endlessly until skin shrivelled, the pregnant woman cooling off feeling at … [Read more...]

And I’m Officially Old!

June 27, 2013 by Sara 9 Comments

Back in high school, I had EPIC parties.  My parents traveled a ton and my house would become the gathering spot.  There was a bouncer who wouldn't let me back in my house but let random people leave wearing my sister's clothes! There was a missing wooden pigs tail found in a golf bag months later. … [Read more...]

piss me off- Good morning Nancy, here is your net worth

June 25, 2013 by Nancy 2 Comments

5 years ago,  after having waded through the murky waters of separation, with all the feelings, difficulties and excruciatingly time consuming paperwork  and legal stuff, and  alongside heartfelt rear view mirror analysis, I met with my bank manager to renegotiate my mortgage. It appeared I might be … [Read more...]

Free Wheelin’

June 19, 2013 by Tracey 4 Comments

This was the other thing we picked up on our recent jaunt to Toys R Us. Only, it's not for the children. This one is for me. You might know I've been riding Oliver's scooter in the house (and around town) for the past couple of years, and though many of the neighbourhood children own one just … [Read more...]

Never Drinking Again!

June 19, 2013 by Ryan 3 Comments

Getting up every day at 3:21am (precise eh?) is fine, but when Saturday rolls around, I’d like to stretch that out ‘til about 6 or 7. My kids on the other hand, have different plans. Toddlers are similar to retirees; to them a Saturday may as well be a Tuesday, and February might as well be June, … [Read more...]

We Are Family

June 6, 2013 by Sara 4 Comments

48 weeks a year.  5 days a week.  8 hours a day. Generally, those are your working hours - give or take the week of days you need to take off for sick kids. 52 weeks a year.  2 full days a week.  Maybe 5 hours a day for the other five. Generally, those are your non-working hours. So. … [Read more...]

Words for Wednesday – not all in one go, dammit

June 5, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

I am not sure if you have noticed but the very best sign to be is AQUARIUS. We are always told we are beautiful, strong, clever and headed in the right direction. We are never in trouble, we are always lovely and good. The future always shines bright for us.  I can spot an Aquarian from 20 paces. … [Read more...]

Growing up.

May 23, 2013 by Sonya Leave a Comment

I'm not sure when it happens. At some point in our lives, we all realize we're adults. (sometimes I think I'm starting to become my mother, but that's another story) Yep. Grown ups. Maybe it's when my teen son gives me a reality check about not cranking Ri-Ri too loud when his friends are around … [Read more...]

AD/HD: It’s Not Just for Kids Anymore

May 9, 2013 by Kath Leave a Comment

Not that long ago, I went to see a psychiatrist for the first time.It's kind of a funny story how I ended up there, but the Cole's Notes version is that my kids drove me crazy. True story.But whatever the cause, there I was sitting in her office and answering all her backgrounder-type questions with … [Read more...]

the unsexy, the unfun, and the uninteresting things I buy for myself

April 21, 2013 by Nancy 10 Comments

first there was this furnace then there was this A/C unit- now this fabulous and romantic sump pump battery back up followed by the removal and switch over of some remenant knob and tube wiring (wildly jealous?) happy birthday to me I hate being an adult stay … [Read more...]
