I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden Mount Pleasant is getting microbreweries and they're allowed to act like bars and life just improved considerably. British Columbia, with its draconian liquor laws and high taxes, has traditionally been a bit of a buzz kill for those of us who just … [Read more...]
Summer Loving: The Recap
Well it had to end sometime. I know, I know, September can be one of the most beautiful months of the year, with warm days and sleep easy nights, but for all intents and purposes, for our family, the race to the cottage every weekend ends as school begins. They're on a boat! Looking back … [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...]
Backpack…Backpack!
T minus a few days until the kids head back to school. We've picked up new pencils and lunchboxes, but we've left the big shop until next week. I tell my kids that I want to give them a chance to take a look get settled and figure out what they need, but really I just can't handle the stores right … [Read more...]
The Perfect Lunch
It's not everyday that you get invited for "The Perfect Lunch." And with that comes high expectations. I was at the art gallery the other day with my 13 year old son, it's something we really enjoy doing together. We had also received an invite to P.F. Chang's China Bistro on the same day. WHAT? … [Read more...]
Getting ready for TIFF
The countdown has officially started (last week). Katya and I have been in touch with our contacts for the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and mapping out our schedules to get to as many TIFF related coverage as humanly possible. We've even ask Jen (aka JenTrend) to help out. Yes, it's … [Read more...]
Asunder.
You know, when you have a renovation on your horizon, no matter how massive you anticipate the project to be, somehow it's still just bigger than you'd imagined. *quietly sips wine* Don't bother looking at your watch - it's wine o'clock all the time right now. (And don't look at me like … [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...]
‘Labour Day’ is the new ‘New Years Day’
I know that everyone has New Year resolutions but that is so yesterday, or should I say… so 9 months ago. I can’t tell you how many times I‘ve said, “This is my year; this is the year I eat better, drink less and exercise.” Inevitably by January 6th I’m back to my old ways and knee deep in powdered … [Read more...]
Marriage is Hard
Love is the easy part. Love you don't need a reminder about when sitting across a dinner party table and one stolen, silent glance could fill the room with words. Or when your hands find each other in the middle of the night and stay there until both fall back asleep. Dealing with the meal time … [Read more...]
