Sometimes a person can fall into a bit of a funk, and not even notice one's there until one starts to climb out of the hole.I'm not depressed, but lately I've been feeling the need to infuse a bit of change into the atmosphere. It's a natural by-product that comes from visiting other people's pretty … [Read more...]
I’m Addicted To Stress And Maybe That’s Not A Bad Thing
I was recently reading an article in Chatelaine magazine called Stop Being a Stress Junkie. I read it curiously because I am one of those people who thrives on stress. I love being so busy that I don't have time to stop and think. I love the challenge of a fast-paced project with so many arms and … [Read more...]
And so it continues….
Two months ago - I wrote this - I was turning 43. I was tired, sick all the time, depressed. I decided to make some changes in my lifestyle - diet, exercise, brain power!

From My Closet – June 6th, 2012
I got three compliments on this sweater today while I ran out for forty-five minutes... it's got a gold thread running through it, and it's very light-weight. Jaunty, she is. Lovely over these white jeans... I reckon she'll be gorgeous over small white shorts, too. Who knew a gold sweater would … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – June 6th, 2012
It's getting warmer out there... I have to say that butterflies tend to be my least favourites in motifs in clothing for girls. (Hearts are a close runner-up.)

Urban Kid Closet – June 5th, 2012
I think it's hilarious that the child can still wear this dress, which will be it's third summer - it's still cool in the mornings though, so I'm throwing it over jeans and a puffed-sleeve t-shirt until it starts scorching outside... but this post is all about the shoes. You might know about this … [Read more...]

FotoFriday – Pumped Up Kicks
I have been looking for green Chucks forever. Okay...more like 6 months. But seriously I could not find a pair anywhere. From Toronto to Grove CIty, PA. No green. Not even on ebay. So I took to the internet and made a pair. Yes - custom made a pair on the Converse website. After I designed … [Read more...]
Now THAT Was Some RAIN!!
Yesterday, our house awoke to a massive downpour, replete with lightning and thunder and much-too-dark-ness for seven in the morning. I snapped a pic to show our city council woman, who also happens to be a friend who lives at the top of our street:As it is such an old city, Montreal has some sewer … [Read more...]
