Have I ever mentioned how I don't drive? Yes, well...Last week while at the store, during the crazy heat wave we had, I had about forty minutes left on my own to get a few grocery items before picking up Madame from school. The term was ending, and I needed provisions for the pre-school … [Read more...]
Road Tripping!
Just the two of us, windows down, tunes blaring, wind in our hair, sipping an ice cold... *head shake* Just the two of us, windows up and AC on, portable DVD player and headphones in the back seat - silence in the front seat, hair in a ponytail, sipping NOTHING (who needs all the stops). … [Read more...]
From My Closet – June 21st, 2012
Who IS this girl in all this bright colour?! Don't ask me. I hardly recognise myself. I sometimes have trouble when it comes to colour. Especially when it's this bright! But, it's hella hot in the city again these days, so short-shorts rule. I like the hot pinks and oranges in this checkered … [Read more...]
G Is For Grungy
Have I mentioned before how much I love white linens and things? Well, I do. Many people will argue that white shows dirt too readily, to which I say: I prefer dirt I can see.That said, when it comes to dirt and small people, I might be in over my head. We bought a white loveseat for the … [Read more...]
The Rules of the Road
My new found biking kick is continuing - yes, even in this heat. I know me and the second I talk myself out of it one day, I'm screwed. Frankly, the breeze is sort of nice and it's not until I stop that I realize how revoltingly sweaty I am. The thing I'm most surprised about over the last … [Read more...]

"This dress is my favourite," she breathes each time she slips it on. If she had it her way, she'd wear it every single day. It's the longest of all the dresses she has, which quite naturally deems it the best of the lot. Dancing, is always required. It's plain old cotton with a charcoal stripe … [Read more...]
From My Closet – June 15th, 2012
Okay: shorts. I mean the short kind. I've been thinking about them ever since the weather started warming up, and I was pulling out shorts of yore, and buying new ones. Exactly how short can a lady my age go, I wondered... and what I've decided is this: Nobody's perfect. No body is, either... … [Read more...]
Where were you AFTER graduation??
It's Graduation Time! There's been a great series on CBC this week with personalities talking about their high school graduation and what they would think of where they are now. It got me thinking. My grade thirteen graduation - well the prom - was a riot. I went with my friend Andrew, who … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – June 14th, 2012
When I saw this little dress online, I really wasn't sure how it would be in person - that's online shopping for you. Would it be too bright? The pattern too bold? Too... jungle-y?! As it turns out, it's divine. It's got shades of greens, corals, pinks, and yellows - very groovy and retro-feeling. … [Read more...]
Looking At Your Life
The other night, Ava Scarlett kept coming into the kitchen holding up photos in her hands, asking me who's this? and where was this? and is this Oliver or me? and was I borned yet? She must have come to see me about a dozen times before I finally followed her back to the TV room, whereupon I found … [Read more...]
