I'm baaaack. So apparently I took my own advice and just checked out for the whole summer. Moving forward I promise to post more regularly. We have had one of the most insane two months of our lives and that's why I haven't been writing, despite having so much to write about! As you know on … [Read more...]
The 29th Annual Vegetarian Food Festival
Hey Torontonians! Put the steak down and listen up: The 29th annual Vegetarian Food Festival is back in town. No, that is not a typo. It's the 29th year. I know... I'm as shocked as you are. I guess I never took notice of it before because prior to this summer, I was a dedicated … [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...]
From My Closet – September 6th, 2013
Have I ever mentioned that I don't have much hair? Yes, well... hence: ACCESSORIES. They're for accessorizing. Do not underestimate this. It's the fastest (and often lest expensive) way to change up your look, be it with hats, belts, or bling. Or glasses. Like these semi-silly hipster … [Read more...]
CND Vinylux…Short-Term Commitment, Long-Term Glamour
I consider myself a loyal person. I've been with my husband for almost 30 years. I've worked with the same organization for over 20 years. But when it comes to fashion, I allow myself a little trendiness and quick indulgence. I've worn zebra print skirts, day glow shoes and red snakeskin pleather … [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...]
The Same But Different
Back to school is a familiar time with kids 11 and seven and adults 43 and 41. The anxiety has mostly been replaced by excitement and choice of clothing suddenly is important. In the past, a tank top and pajama bottoms would be the fashion non-statement, but now, the shorts must hang just so and the … [Read more...]
APP of the Week: Period Tracker
So, this is life. We're busy women with families, volunteering in the schools, shuffling the kids to lessons and many of us depend on our mobile devices to keep us in touch and on track. If there's one thing I can't live without it would be my mobile device. It does everything these days and it has … [Read more...]
The Grab & Go Dilemma
I was on Facebook the other day and noticed a few status updates from my friends. There were few mentions of only consuming mass quantities of coffee for the day as they had lost track of time or couldn’t be bothered to fix themselves something to eat. We all laugh and give each other virtual high … [Read more...]
Stress-Free School Lunches
It's T-minus 24 hours 'till they go back. Another 10 months of, "there's nothing I like in the fridge" and "Daddy makes better lunches than you" (my personal favorite). I think it's because he pre-plucks the grapes from the stem so that his delicate little princess isn't burdened with a single … [Read more...]
