When Life Gives You Lemons: A Story Of Inspiration And Community

April 25, 2014 by Jen 9 Comments

I haven't been writing much since the sale of UrbanMoms but I felt compelled to tell this story. Before I get started I want you to understand that I have total perspective on this. It is not life or death. But for our little family it would change the path we had been happily traveling for the last … [Read more...]

Spring Break Part II (Alternate Title: SO OVER IT)

March 26, 2014 by Amanda 1 Comment

Spring Break is TOO LONG. It came in like a lamb, all soft and warm and fuzzy with good family memories at the ski hill, but this second week is proving to be a ghastly lion as the girls claw each others' eyeballs out and bicker for hours on end. Spring Break is TOO LONG I think we have all just … [Read more...]

It’s Heigh Time

February 12, 2014 by Amanda Leave a Comment

  Last week my far-away friend, Christy, along with her husband and four (!) children, spent seven days at our house. It was wild and wonderful and loud and hilarious. Seeing our kids play and connect after years between our last visit (they used to live in the same town as we do, but moved … [Read more...]

February 5, 2014 by Kath 1 Comment

Have you made your Facebook movie yet? (If you haven't, what rock have you been hiding under?) To help celebrate its tenth birthday, Facebook has given all its users a gift: a neat little movie of your life AF (after Facebook - seriously: did any of us have a life before Facebook?), all wrapped … [Read more...]

Mike From Canmore

January 22, 2014 by Amanda 1 Comment

I just got back from a glorious mini-holiday to the heart of the Rocky Mountains with one of my dearest girl friends of all time. We hiked, we toured Lake Louise and took in the ice carving festival, we sipped hot cocoa, we watched weird independent films and stayed up late eating junk food, … [Read more...]

The Last Party

November 18, 2013 by Christine 3 Comments

Cuyler turned eleven last Wednesday. Yesterday he celebrated his birthday with friends. It took me a while to figure out where to host it; I needed somewhere age appropriate for the friends he was inviting at the same time be able to hold Cuyler's interest. Cuyler's first suggestion was to invite … [Read more...]

Making A Wish

October 28, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

Sometimes making a wish is a very good thing. Sometimes believing  something will help you when you need that help, is worth embracing. Sometimes making a wish and sending it off will bring about the change you await. You start, most importantly, with a group who mean so much to you. And a cocktail … [Read more...]

All The Beauty That Lies Beneath

October 25, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

This is my new favourite thing to do. First you get on a boat in the tropics (lake fish are the ugly sisters to tropical fish; no colour, no jazz, and they all look alike). Go out far into the ocean until you get to a reef. Put on your snorkel, mask and fins.  And courage. And get close to some … [Read more...]

On Divorce-1/11 Ain’t Bad

October 21, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

I have just returned from 6 days in Cayman with 10 fabulous people. I have known all of them for 30 years. I feel really lucky to be in this group. On our last night, we were on a pier at a wonderful restaurant with exquisite food, under a truly magical full moon, laughing, toasting and crying and … [Read more...]
