Too Close For Comfort: The Perils of Food-Courts.

November 6, 2012 by Tracey

I like to avoid food-courts whenever I can. Things just tend to not go well for me whenever I'm in one. Oftentimes during the lunch rush, food-courts in malls everywhere are mostly filled with working people who toil in the offices above the eateries located at their building's bowel-level and/or … [Read more...]

We’re talking football. Stylish football

November 4, 2012 by Jason

I played football growing up, both recreationally as a youth at recess and as a junior right offensive tackle for the Northern Red Knights in high school.  In fact, one of the greatest sports memories I have was coming back from a 20-6 halftime deficit to defeat our dreaded rival the North Toronto … [Read more...]

Twelve Years….

November 2, 2012 by Sara

Twelve years.  It doesn't seem that long in the scheme of things - but when you've spent it without your mom, it seems like a loooong time. There's been a lot of changes in twelve years.  I did the parental 'sit by your kids bed and watch them sleep' last night and thought about where my life has … [Read more...]

When seasons change does your skin too? Organic product review & an event for LGFB!

November 1, 2012 by Sonya

My skin drives me crazy. I've never been blessed with flawless skin (I hate you if you do!..kidding!) or the porcelain skin of some of my Asian friends. I'm slightly darker and I'm definitely blotchy-er. Is that a word? I've always had combination skin and have always changed products with the … [Read more...]

How We Halloween’d.

November 1, 2012 by Tracey

Raise your hands if your house is in a mad-scramble around 4:30 PM on Halloween night? Holy crap, it feels insane. Over here, I had one child begging to put her costume on and sit in the make-up chair from three o'clock, and the other one, halfway sullen about the idea of having to get dressed up. … [Read more...]

Time delay

October 31, 2012 by Jason

Comparisons to one's own youth make for easy fodder as a person who primarily writes about being a father. Looking back, growing up was neither difficult nor easy for me as a child of divorce.  I was never truly left wanting nor showered with the abundance of my peers. I loved my mother and my … [Read more...]

Spooky Tomfoolery

October 31, 2012 by Tracey

I've spent most of today dressed like this: And as people pass me in the street, with a smirk on their lips, I smirk right back and wink. They bid me a Happy Halloween, and I touch the brim of my hat in kind. When someone says, "I love your wings," I feign innocence and reply, "What … [Read more...]

Carver Cam

October 31, 2012 by Christine

We carved our pumpkins last night. Well...I didn't. While I wish I could rock my orbs the way Grumble does, I'm pretty happy with our lil punkin this year. Last year after all three kids jumped ship on me I swore we were only going to have one pumpkin that I was simply going to drill holes into. … [Read more...]
