Many moons ago, before we had kids, we used to host an annual Halloween party at our home and I loved it! The costumes, the pumpkin carving, the candy. Good times. Then we (and all our friends) went and had a trillion babies and the focus shifted to taking toddlers trick-or-treating, so the … [Read more...]
October: Down, But Not Out.
October and I used to be better friends back in the day. I gave up on September some years ago, because she tends to have this muther running in all directions, kicking my ass at every turn, but, et tu, Octobre?! Between this never-ending brick job, and a new case of head lice to manage, an … [Read more...]

All The Beauty That Lies Beneath
This is my new favourite thing to do. First you get on a boat in the tropics (lake fish are the ugly sisters to tropical fish; no colour, no jazz, and they all look alike).

Women Can…
I love the internet, and of all the wonderful things on the internet, I love Google best. Google and I, we get each other. Sometimes we'll stay up all night, and we've gotten to know each other so well that Google has started to finish my sentences. Well, not really. Although it might seem like … [Read more...]
Women Would Be Happier If
Women would be happier if _____. Fill in the blank! But not too creative with your answers because everyone knows women only want to stay home and raise children because working makes them super unhappy. This morning as I was sipping the latte I bought with an adult colleague, I happened … [Read more...]
Accident Avoided (By Just a Few Inches)
Have you ever had your life flash before your eyes? It’s never happened to me before until this past Sunday. I came pretty darn close, and it’s amazing how fast things really do flash before you. One minute I was sitting in the kitchen with my kids and in-laws, and next minute I was just inches away … [Read more...]
