First, let me say I can't believe he let me take his picture... it seems like such a rare event these days. I find dressing this boy fairly uncomplicated - give him some t-shirts he's fond of and jeans that fit the way he likes, and he's golden. I've tried pushing him in fashion directions he just … [Read more...]
What’s in a Size?
I went bra shopping today, which is my least favourite of all the shoppings. I went because my boobs are decidedly bigger than they were the last time I bought some, and the "spillage" out of the cups of my current bras was making me feel... very... soft and squishy in ways I do not like. Now, … [Read more...]
Here Comes The Groom and….
There is a whole lot of marriage talk among the K-room set at the daycare lately. It's almost as if they are following the U.S. debate on marriage equality. Not a day goes by without Will giving me the rundown on who is going to marry who and who got mad because so and so said they wouldn't … [Read more...]
Weight Watchers Week 8 Update
Week 8: Down 14lbs (Hooray!) In my opinion, late winter,, is the toughest time to be a Canadian. I know, it varies from coast to coast but, overall, this time of year can be downright ugly. The gloomy grey and the ongoing snowfall make me feel like curling up in front of the TV with a bag of … [Read more...]
Spring cleaning
As you may or may not have noticed, I took some time off from my blogging duties here at UrbanMoms. No, no I was not off on a whirlwind book tour promoting my yet to be published novel, nor was I on the amateur Chippendale circuit, hitting suburban dinner theatres across Canada. Actually, due some … [Read more...]
Say YES to the Dress! Kleinfeld is coming!
When I got married 20 years ago, yeah, 20, girlfriend! -- there weren't too many options for bridal wear even in this big city. Spadina or Danforth was the place to go with several shops that carried an array of white flouncy, satin, and tulle dresses that hung lifelessly in rows. Just starting out … [Read more...]
Wondering what to do with the e-waste?
I've got an old laptop that was handed down by a neighbour who thought it would be perfect for my son to use for his homework. It's possibly 10 years old. It's heavy and it's S.L.O.W. We graciously accepted the offer as it was perfect first laptop for him. Then other people started offering their … [Read more...]
On Impulse!
I'm fairly good with my money. I wouldn't say AH-mazing...but I'm fairly good at not making stupid purchases. I own a home, have savings and am able to provide for my kid. Sidenote - one month at university, I spent my entire February budget on one crazy last weekend of January and literally ate … [Read more...]
(Sn)O(w), Canada!
Spring break hasn't been all the springy, if you catch my drift. SNOWDRIFT, that is. Based on all of my Canadian friends' status updates on Facebook bemoaning the latest blizzard, closed highway or white-out conditions, it's pretty clear that we're actually on winter break, not spring. Owell. We … [Read more...]
The Cuban
I'm addicted. Totally addicted. Just when I started to get uninspired by the thought of making lunches for the kids, my senses were awakened once again and reminded that something so simple can be so delicious. On a recent trip down south to visit family, we visited Columbia, a … [Read more...]
