This was the other thing we picked up on our recent jaunt to Toys R Us. Only, it's not for the children. This one is for me. You might know I've been riding Oliver's scooter in the house (and around town) for the past couple of years, and though many of the neighbourhood children own one just … [Read more...]
From My Closet – June 19th, 2013
So this is gardening. I say this with a snort *snorts* because our "garden" is about the size of a postage stamp, and we're not wicked green-thumbers around these parts. A few years back, we planted some cedars and lots of boxwood in the hopes of being able to maintain a reasonable looking … [Read more...]
Never Drinking Again!
Getting up every day at 3:21am (precise eh?) is fine, but when Saturday rolls around, I’d like to stretch that out ‘til about 6 or 7. My kids on the other hand, have different plans. Toddlers are similar to retirees; to them a Saturday may as well be a Tuesday, and February might as well be June, … [Read more...]
My Dream Kitchen: The Whirlpool White Ice Collection
How would you introduce colour and texture to a sleek white kitchen? I am not really a kitchen kind of person. I don't love to cook (although eating is extremely pleasurable) and baking is not in my repertoire. Plus, for the last 12 years+ our kitchen has been my least favourite room in our house; … [Read more...]
The Kid Won’t Eat.
When I was pregnant, I remember reading with smug satisfaction on Pregnant Chicken the lists of things mothers swore they'd "never do" once they had kids. I knew kids were unpredictable - I was going to make no such assumptions about my future parenting. I had some general ideas, like how I would … [Read more...]
A Good One
These girls got it good. Their Daddy works his tail off for his family, takes the time to play with them and teach them about life, brushes their grimy teeth every night, tells them he loves them every day, and lets them know they're his priority by the way he lives his life. Happy Father's … [Read more...]
Local or Fair Trade?
Buying local and fair trade, both are buzzy catch-phrases in the quest for eco-friendly products. But what do they mean, exactly, and which one should you choose? This infographic will give you something to think about, so you can make an informed decision next time you have to make that … [Read more...]
Guilt-Free All Purpose Cleaner
Over the years, I've amassed an arsenal of cleaning products, both of the green and not-so-green varieties. The only thing I hate more than cleaning is the plethora of artificial scents and harsh chemicals that come in typical cleaning products. So-called 'green' products are slightly better, but … [Read more...]
Happy Father’s Day
The other day, someone at work asked me, “What’s it like to be a father?” and that got me thinking. He's about 6 months away from joining the club so I think he was looking for a little sage-like advice. To be honest, I think he was happy to find out I lost my hair many years before having kids. We … [Read more...]
oh sweet productivity
These last few weeks have been extremely productive and for that I am always thankful and truly thrilled. 250 self portraits, 7 art events, 8 OFPs, 50 spring projects, one legacy project, 150 father's day gifts and more. I love to have a few things drying at home to remind me of this … [Read more...]
