The kitchen backsplash was turning out to be the toughest decision yet. I have come to realize that the kitchen is the most complex and time consuming room in the house to redesign. There are so many details and decisions to make it is mind boggling. And one of those decisions has had me virtually … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – August 26th, 2013
She: Ooooo... can I PLEASE have these? *eyebrows high and hopeful* Me: *exhales slowly* Sneaker. Black with some sparkles (but NOT with lights) and black satin ribbon laces. (And embroidering on the heels in an excellent shade of hot pink for this plum of a child. They go with her … [Read more...]
Love, Sweet Love.
This weekend we celebrated with family as my husband's brother tied the knot with the love of his life. The setting was exquisite: a secret forest, tucked away in a valley, with goats and miniature horses running amok, a sparkling pond, a cozy barn, and too many details to list. Basically, … [Read more...]
The End of Servitude, Dudes.
"Can we have French toast with bacon for brunch, please?" Oliver's eyes always gleam when he asks me for foods like this, and I'm obliging him, as a Last Request. He knows what kind of yummy it's going to be. And he knew after that special stop at the one grocery store that carries the gorgeous … [Read more...]
Faux Pho
It's Sunday evening at approximately 6pm. My legs are still sore from running the Toronto Women's 10k yesterday. My eyes feel puffy from too much chlorine and not enough sleep.

Getting Laid.
Sexy, huh? We found out last Sunday that this massive re-bricking project of the front (and next, the back) of our house could get underway this week. Tuesday, to be exact. And now the front of the house will look a bit like this for the next four weeks or so. Mind you, the dumpster should be … [Read more...]
Hanging out in Chef Michael Smith’s Kitchen!
We arrived at Chef Michael Smith's house in PEI. It's a very tall property as you would expect. There are old and colourful buoys strung from the well-constructed tree fort just to the side of the driveway. A quick glance around and you can tell that this is a home and not just a house. At the end … [Read more...]
Together, Much?
School starts in six days. SIX. (Did I say six? It's six days.) My kids have spent about 90% of their time together over these past several weeks... and I mean, TOGETHER. Much of the time, they've played quite well together, and have been glad to have one another for company. They're next … [Read more...]
