The Thing About Running

April 16, 2013 by Tracey 12 Comments

A thousand years ago, I used to be a runner. It was my sport-of-choice since I was in grade school, when we'd run for fund-raising causes, like for Terry Fox, or The Heart & Stroke Foundation. As I grew older, I moved from longer distances, to middle distances, and ended up mostly running … [Read more...]

I want this job

April 16, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

Yesterday I talked about the job I would love to do most- pranking. I have changed my mind. I want Matt's job. (Maybe with part time pranking as a bonus) I needed to see this this morning after what happened in Boston yesterday. … [Read more...]

Girls dance, sports, and periods!

April 15, 2013 by ChantelK Leave a Comment

Okay I  realize for some, the topic of girls and their periods is awkward but as a mom to a few girls and a competitive gymnastics coach this is a topic that has come up several times. When was younger (a lot younger!) and competing one of my biggest fears was getting my period while at training … [Read more...]

favourite thing of last week-fresh flowers

April 15, 2013 by Nancy 11 Comments

Over the last week, due to a few parties I had, weekend guests and gifts from people, I have amassed an abundance of flowers at my house. I have yellow tulips, mini daffs, pink hydrangea, hot pink cyclamen, orange gerbers, cherry blossoms EVERYWHERE  I look I see flowers. It makes me wonder why I … [Read more...]

The power of silence.

April 15, 2013 by Sonya 1 Comment

Can you stay silent for 24 hours? Do you think you can try? Last year, my sons did this at school. Well, actually the older one who was twelve years old then, committed to the full 24 hours while the younger one followed his school and did it for an hour or so. It was pretty moving on both counts … [Read more...]

Urban Kid Closet – April 15th, 2013

April 15, 2013 by Urban Closet 5 Comments

I scooped up this top on sale from the Gap a few years ago, but it only started fitting her this past fall... and I found it a bit tough to pair. Sure it looked great with these adorable pink cords as well as with these cute skinny cargos, but pants are decidedly NOT her favourite. She looks at me … [Read more...]

my indian name is foot-in-mouth

April 13, 2013 by Nancy 2 Comments

The other morning my daughter came into my room to find me still in bed "What is the matter, momma?" she said. I don't ever stay in bed, especially on a school morning. I was feeling a bit off. I had had to make a speech the night before at a party for someone really important to me. But I had … [Read more...]

Sabra Introduces Salsa and Guacamole for your Dipping Pleasure

April 12, 2013 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

I am a big fan of Sabra's delicious hummus. It's a go-to purchase for summer entertaining; I love it as a dip, as a spread on sandwiches, and as a condiment for burgers. That's why I'm so excited to write about the new products that the company's launching this month to broaden their dipping … [Read more...]

Seafood & Swiss Grilled Cheese

April 12, 2013 by Tracey 4 Comments

I read a tweet about it being National Grilled Cheese Day today. Perhaps this is only in the US. Perhaps it's all in the mind of some lonely dude somewhere, in his sad basement apartment, clinging to the internet for friendship. And for his sanity. But who cares. Grilled cheese? Yes, please! (As … [Read more...]
