Thirteen years ago today, I found out that my mom was sick. I was in Australia, still drunk from the amazing wedding/St. Patrick's day celebrations of the day before. A word of advice. If you get life altering news, try to be sober to get it. It will make it easier on you and on all your friends … [Read more...]
(On The Way Out) From My Closet – March 18th, 2013
I think I've mentioned before how I sometimes have trouble with colour. Well... oops, I did it again. In December, I think - just when I was looking for a pick-me-up. I like the colour of this sweater, I mean I guess... and there's nothing bad about a crew neck sweater (though v-necks are often … [Read more...]
FotoFriday – Frigid Forecast
I can't believe the difference between last March Break: and this March Break: Stupid winter... Stupid cold... I was patient with the cold weather and it really didn't bother me up until about 3 days ago. I'm so done with this winter. Anyone else? … [Read more...]

The Littlest Hotdog.
One rather nice thing about family-break times, like the one we had just last week, is how I get the chance to really see my children anew. It doesn't matter if we stay home, though I do tend to view them differently when they're back-dropped by a different scene, or within different walls. I too, … [Read more...]
Wading Through
Unlike seemingly everywhere else in the country, we just finished our March Break, and today I find myself alone in the house, looking at a mountain of laundry with one eye, while counting backwards the amount of hours I have left before the children get home from school. The fridge is practically … [Read more...]
A boost of energy!
Where do you get your energy from? Aside from an exhilarating walk in the neighbourhood, or a venture to the mall to take advantage of the latest sale, I admit that I get my energy with my daily caffeine intake (lactose caramel macchiato, thanks). But there are times that I'd like a boost of energy … [Read more...]
Nella Bella is ALL THAT….and vegan too!
In a glass enclosed space at the St. James Cathedral located in the heart of the city, was the beautiful setting for the Nella Bella Fall/Winter 2013 collections preview event.
