I Ain’t No RuPaul – But I’m Closer!

October 10, 2012 by Sara

I have a love/hate relationship with makeup.  Actually I don't.  I have a hate relationship with it.  It derives itself from two main places: A. Hallowe'en.  I don't like Hallowe'en.  I loathe dressing up and I don't really like a candy so it was sort of a lost 'holiday' for me.  I especially … [Read more...]

Your Style Council – The Eyes Have It

October 10, 2012 by Urban Closet

I was chatting the other evening with lovely Sara by email, who was lamenting how she needed to get her brows done. "Dude... they're so gross," she said, which I sincerely doubted. But it did get me thinking... Recently, I talked about my own eyebrows, and lack thereof, but for lots of ladies, if … [Read more...]

That Time I Saw A Guy Crap in The Bushes Next To My Park.

October 10, 2012 by Tracey

There are things a person can see with one's eyes that cannot be unseen. Ever again. Like, there's not enough bleach in the world with which to scrub my eyeballs. Um. This morning as I walked my daughter over to our neighbour-fox's house to catch her ride to school, along the same short path … [Read more...]

From My Closet – October 9th, 2012

October 9, 2012 by Urban Closet

Sometime last week while I was kicking around downtown, I had all kinds of random thoughts, barely connected... you know, the way random thoughts tend to be. Oh, I have to send an email to that friend who just moved to Seattle... and I owe a phone call to my other friend in Seattle... her birthday … [Read more...]

Simple Things

October 5, 2012 by Tracey

Oliver is home for a PED day today. (Again.) As he's bigger than the Small One, we've been just sharing the house space all morning, doing things separately, until he needs food. He had a granola bar the moment he woke up, and he asked for eggs and bacon for breakfast, which I indulged him in, since … [Read more...]

Wipe(s) Out

October 5, 2012 by Tracey

My youngest stopped using diapers over two years ago (which I'm still rather joyous about) and though we managed to use up the last of the diapers, we still had two large bag of wet-wipes left over. We had so many, because during the diapering days, we bought those things by the box-load. You know - … [Read more...]

FotoFriday: Food Drive

October 5, 2012 by Christine

Similar to Sara's weekend (although not nearly as fun or jam packed) we will be helping crush hunger. Our local food bank is low and one local boy decided that if each family from the participating teams in the hockey tournament that we host this year (and every Thanksgiving weekend) brought non … [Read more...]

Hooked

October 4, 2012 by Christine

When I was about 12 years old my mum taught me how to knit. Just the basics. Casting on, casting off, knit, purl - the basics. I was able to make little scarves and hats and blankets for my barbies and cabbage patch kids. As I got older I'd get some nicer yarn, better needles and would make … [Read more...]

Money Well Spent

October 3, 2012 by Jen

The last few weeks of summer were filled with summer fun. My sister was visiting so I had been attempting to cram in every possible experience to make sure that once back-to-school hit we could look back and reassure ourselves that we did everything we could to maximize this time. And in the … [Read more...]
