I am not sure if you have noticed but the very best sign to be is AQUARIUS. We are always told we are beautiful, strong, clever and headed in the right direction. We are never in trouble, we are always lovely and good. The future always shines bright for us. I can spot an Aquarian from 20 paces. … [Read more...]
Top 10 Tips for Making a Temporary Space Your Own
During our renovation project we are lucky to have a designer helping us and even more fortunate that she will be contributing regular posts to UrbanMoms. We asked Silvia how to make our temporary space in my sister's basement more our own for the months we will be living here. She gave us some … [Read more...]
my garden, without trying
I am so amazed when something for which I have done nothing and I do mean nothing, gives me this much back. I love this ( I apologize for using it before on my other blog but it really speaks to how I feel when the earth remembers to do what I forgot it did so beautifully last … [Read more...]
Humidity and keeping the shine away. Ugh.
I truly understand when people talk about dry heat versus what we get here in Toronto. We've just had our first heat advisory of the year (yeah, finally). Remember? We go from cold to hot in a nano second. A couple weeks ago I was in Palm Springs, California. It was hot... like 100 degrees hot. But … [Read more...]
The Finishers
This weekend our two older girls ran their first road race. It was 5.4 km and they both ran the whole time. Avelyn came sprinting across the finish line like a gazelle. Then I saw Steve round the last corner, holding Karenna's hand. I could see from a distance that her face was grimaced in … [Read more...]

For the Freedom of Choice
Dr. Henry Morgentaler died of a heart attack yesterday at the ripe old age of 90. It is his legacy that makes my heart feel all tender inside for this incredibly brave man who never wavered in his active support for a woman's reproductive rights - for a woman's right to choose. Talk about an … [Read more...]
From My Closet – May 29th, 2013
Oh, these rainy days... I don't love them much at all, but I'm so very glad it isn't snow. (What a thing to say in May. Oy.) I recently picked up a stretchy pair of dark wash jeggings (I hate that term) and though the sewn-closed front pockets drive me bananas, I like the fit and the feel. … [Read more...]
Bad Hair Day
When you live in Toronto you already know how our weather can change from cold to hot and back again all within 24 hours. Yesterday I could see my breathe and I was freezing when I went to pick up my son from school. This morning it is humid and sticky hot before 9 am. And then there's my hair. … [Read more...]
