These. Pink-orange snakeskin with an iridescent finish, replete with tiny gold zippers up the back. The leather is supple, they are juicy and beautiful, and they go with just about everything. I fell instantly in love, and only hoped she'd love them as much as I do, because though I hate forcing … [Read more...]
App Spotlight: The Scientific 7 Minute Workout.
I am not one for exercising and I freely admit it. I've tried all sorts of things from working out at home with Tai Bo DVDs, joining pilates and yoga classes, personal trainers and going with my hubby to the gym. Other than walking (a lot) nothing inspires me to move ...other than a good sale. … [Read more...]
Nothing “no fun” about KindMob.
Depending who you talk to, Vancouver's got a reputation for having a bit of an attitude problem - a complex, even. We're distracted and unfriendly - cold and cliquish at worst. And even though it's expensive here and it rains all the damn time, according to a 2012 survey from The Vancouver … [Read more...]
We All Scream For Magnum Ice Cream Bars!
Last Friday, I experienced a trinity of joy: it was the first day of summer, my favorite class was presenting their final projects, and the folks at Magnum Ice Cream Bars offered to let me try their new Magnum Gold bars. It doesn't take a teacher like to figure out what to do; I put 1 +1 +1 together … [Read more...]
2013 Alberta Floods
I've been struggling with this post since yesterday morning. I knew I had to say something, but what? What can be said about this truly awful event? I'm sure you've all heard about it, the news has been on this like dirt on my toddler's shirt. There have been tweets and facebook statuses and news … [Read more...]
The Dad-chelor Party
I have been a dad for almost 5 years; 2 little guys named Travis and Rory. I am also at that age where everybody I grew up with has had kids over the last 10 years or so. In that time I have done the baby registry thing, the classes, the ultrasound, the Braxton-Hicks, the birth, the diapers, the … [Read more...]
FotoFriday – Striker
She's averaging a goal a game. Several on breakaways like this one. Not bad for a dancer. … [Read more...]
What Can I Bring?
Summer is the season of impromptu BBQs, picnic potlucks and lazy, hazy bonfires at the beach. Usually, we'll make last-minute plans with some friends and I always ask, "What can I bring?" They usually reply, "Oh, maybe a salad? Or dessert?" YES. Yes, I say, to both. And lo, here is where I … [Read more...]
A Young Woman of Great Promise
Any parent of a daughter (and let's face it: parents of sons, too) should be justifiably frightened by the emerging details of the Rehtaeh Parsons case. Pretty much any of us can imagine it: a fifteen year-old girl goes to a high school party, maybe even her first big party. Some booze is passed … [Read more...]
The Best Six Bucks I Ever Spent… and Pineapple Fried Rice
A few months ago, I went to the Baking and Sweets show and spotted this odd-looking contraption: A pineapple slicer/corer. For six bucks. Would it work? For six bucks, I was willing to give it a try. It worked. Awesomely. Like, life-changely good. No longer would I be subjected to choosing … [Read more...]
