I was out and about earlier than usual this morning, and I crossed paths with various people, as I often do. Though the two-cheek kiss is a very casual greeting, especially in Montreal, when you actually grab a person in your arms and hold onto them while you plant a kiss on each of their cheeks, or … [Read more...]
Get the Red Out!
I've written before about the challenges with my daughter's eczema. My own skin can also be quite problematic at the best of times. I've got mild rosacea which means a flare up of redness around my nose that is caused by environmental (dry air), stress (late nights) and lifestyle (red wine and … [Read more...]
Modern-Day Love Poet
I have this imaginary internet friend called Amy Turn Sharp. (Isn't that just the most perfect name ever?) We've not met in person, but we've been weaving around each other out in the cyber spaces for years and years... for ages and ages... forever. She is cute and delightful. She and her husband … [Read more...]
From My Closet – February 13th, 2013
I have a thing for <a … [Read more...]
Step forward.
It's a sunny day, finally! I've been sitting at my front window basking in the sun flipping through lookbook images sent over for spring. I'm done with winter. Wearing the big ass coat and cozy sweaters are losing steam now. Plus, the slushy walkways means throwing on boots all the time. Actually, I … [Read more...]

While out running errands earlier today, a cashier handed me my bag of goods and said, "You have a lovely day!" And then I wished her a lovely day in return, and I left the store smiling to myself... There's a huge difference between that, and snatching up your stuff and mumbling, "Thanks..." to … [Read more...]
Last Minute Valentine’s Day Dash Through the Mall
This is it, T minus 48 hours until Cupid's day. It's a little anti-climatic celebrating this day of love so soon after celebrating the day of pancakes (Mardi Gras for the win!), but it seems inappropriate to ignore it completely. If you're still looking for some gift ideas to tell that certain … [Read more...]
Love Her this Valentine’s Day!
The countdown is on to the holiest of Hallmark holidays! Ahhh Valentine's Day. Will will be hard at work tonight writing out all his cards...all 30+ of them. My guess is he'll give up at 3 and I'll write the rest left handed to fake his 'signature'. It has me thinking of all things Valentine. … [Read more...]
All things must come to an end.
All things must come to an end. Well, that's what I have been telling myself. But selling a business you started is almost like saying goodbye to a loved one. I know that there will come a time when I will reflect on this experience and all of the lessons learned and it will all make perfect … [Read more...]
V-day
"You can switch on the television if you like," offered the tiny nurse. "That's ok, I have a book," I replied, waving my e-reader in the air. The floor was covered in dollops of water, melted snow I brought with me to my vasectomy appointment. Oh well, I thought, it will dry up. When I woke … [Read more...]
