Last week I posted about my favourite thrift shop find: my kitchen dining set. Well, this week I found myself at our local thrift shop again, this time bringing in eight full garbage bags of clothes and toys for donation. And once there, what the heck, might as well go in, right? Right. So, in … [Read more...]
About Hometowns
A little while ago, a Facebook friend posed this question: "How long do you have to live somewhere before you call it home?" The comments were varied and interesting: there were military brats who said they just picked their favourite city to call home, because they never lived anywhere longer than … [Read more...]
The Night The Lights Went Out in T-Dot!
Where were you when..... John Lennon was murdered? The Space Shuttle crashed? The planes hit the twin towers? Lady Di was killed? Major events that people always remember where they were when they happened. What they were doing. Who they were with. Today, everyone in Toronto was … [Read more...]
So I Took a Seat.
I've been looking for some butt-love for quite a while now... *snort* You might remember this project we worked on two winters ago (and when I say "we" I mean "Martin"). As much as I'd really love to have pockets deep enough to just run out and buy ALL THE THINGS whenever I want them, I had an … [Read more...]
4091 Kilometres later
I tried to update a few more blogs whilst away in Cape Breton but I had terrible internet connection. I guess that’s the whole point of a vacation right? Unfortunately, I'm not wired that way. If you were in Cape Breton last week, I was that guy trying to find a wi-fi connection on a raft in the … [Read more...]

Back From Camp
Three very poignant observations from Sunday's picking up of my eldest son Hudson at Camp Kilcoo after two weeks away. So glad he is back though. It was like I was walking around, missing a limb. He showered once in two weeks and amazingly smelled of pine and Gull Lake. Of course, I was not … [Read more...]
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly of My First Tri!
It's over. Oh yes, it's over. 364 days until next year. Redemption will be mine. ** cue evil laugh **. I completed my first mini-triathalon yesterday. 500 m swim (in Lake Ontario?!); 20 km on the bike and then a 5 km run. So? How did it go? Well. Let's call it - The Good, The Bad and … [Read more...]
Pondering Paleo
There are many things I swore I'd never be: anything but a stay-at-home mom, someone who likes to exercise at the crack of dawn, or a coffee snob. And yet, here I am. The things I used to think people were crazy for doing, I now do them. The final realm of Crazy for me has always been the Paleo … [Read more...]
Unexpected Company and EASY Lemon Squares
We had one of those days when we had just a few hours notice from a few old neighbours who were going to be in the 'hood and wanted to drop in for a visit. I love that! Seriously! To me it means that people feel so at ease with us that they don't hesitate to drop in. I don't consider it an after … [Read more...]
