It's municipal election time here in Alberta, which means all kinds of fun and games in the race for mayor, city council and school board trustee. And before you ask, yes: there are people running against our immensely popular mayor, Naheed Nenshi. To be specific, there are eight people seemingly … [Read more...]
Ho Ho Ho Hold On Christmas!
Can someone clarify something for me? Have we had Hallowe'en yet? Did I miss the whole chance for Will to wear his Shaggy costume? Did I sleep through the part where I hide 95% of his candy and bring it to my co-workers? What happened to taking him trick or treating and sucking back wine from my … [Read more...]
Girls Do This, Boys Do That
I have two boys, and I have lots of friends and family members who have girls, so there’s often an even representation at my house most days. I mention that because there is nothing better than watching and overhearing kids play together. From these play dates, I've noticed there are some subtle and … [Read more...]
#DreamShare
When I was a kid, my dream was to be a BC Lions cheerleader and a dentist. Something about sparkly Spandex booty shorts and power tools just spoke to me, I guess. The great thing about Canada is that no matter how ridiculous or misguided your dream is, the odds of you achieving it are a lot higher … [Read more...]
Cava, Prosecco, and Champagne! What’s the Difference?
Entertaining season is fast approaching and while food is always on top of mind I've noticed that over the past few years more people serving sparkling options. Cava, prosecco and sometimes champagne options have been popping up at dinner parties and get-togethers just as often as wine and … [Read more...]
It’s Not So Cold on the West Coast
If you've seen How to Be a Vancouverite, or if you are one, or if you know any of us, you know how uniquely weird we can be. We effing love kale, and it's a joke how much that isn't a joke. If you've ever been here or moved here or tried to make friends outside of work or school, maybe you know how … [Read more...]
Applesauce: An Encore Perfomance
Just about two years ago I wrote this: one of my very first posts for Urban Moms. It was a simple, yet delicious recipe for applesauce. In it, I explained that each year on the Sunday closest to my birthday, we went apple picking as a family and with our bounty, we made crumbles, cookies, and of … [Read more...]
Battle is Back!
Last week I posted about not really being a fan of autumn and that there's not much about it that I like. I overlooked one thing - fall t.v. I love that all my favourite shows are back. Fresh new episodes. No repeats. Survivor is back. Amazing Race is back, although Amazing Race Canada was... … [Read more...]
What To Do About That Stinky Gym Bag!
I've got a very sensitive nose and that gym bag... you know? It doesn't matter what sport. I don't need to say anymore, right? When it comes to sweat, and especially sporty boys, that smell in that gym bag is downright nasty. You need to keep on top of it and air it out as much as possible. Even … [Read more...]
Fall Uniform: Updated
I forgot to mention one of the other things in my fall wardrobe. A timeless classic, really. The neon unitard with sheer midriff. Dress it up, dress it down. The options are limitless. (For the record, I was at a dress-up 80s gala this weekend.) … [Read more...]
