Birthdays have never really been a big deal to me, nor were they growing up in my household. The only child birthday party I actually remember was my father taking eight friends and I to see the movie Hooper with Burt Reynolds for my 11th birthday. About halfway through this raucous comedy, an ample … [Read more...]
From My Closet – September 30th, 2013
I really thought I'd be getting into these things... Cords. Suede. Leather. Cable knits. Velvet. Paisley scarves. Jaunty teal handbags. I had plans to sort through my closets and cycle-out the stuff that needs packing away and bringing out the cool-weather and. But apparently today is not … [Read more...]
Coffee and the Art of Cupping
Are you like me? Can't start the day off without enjoying a cup of coffee? I usually wake up to the aroma of a fresh brew as hubby gets up earlier than I do. It's a comforting smell that is much more effective on me than any alarm clock. I love a full-bodied coffee, or like hubby says, "the one … [Read more...]
Kids and Empathy: Teach Your Children Well
The idea of empathy has been on my mind a lot lately, in part because of this clip that made the rounds on social media about a week ago. While on Conan a while back, funnyman Louis C.K. discussed his views on why he doesn't want his kids to have cell phones... [youtube id="5HbYScltf1c"] The … [Read more...]

Something to Give Up
Sometimes you just need a chill weekend and I think this is the first weekend since LJ was born that we actually did just that - chilled. It was a productive weekend, but it felt really relaxing and I loved the time our little fam spent together. Tonight I came across a blog post on The Baby … [Read more...]
On Empathy and Touching People.
I'm handsy. C'mon, not like that. (Okay, sometimes yes...) But I mean I physically touch people often. All the time. Montreal being the kind of city that it is calls for the two-cheek kiss, and we often embrace when we meet. I find I rather like the practice, which is widely accepted, and in fact, … [Read more...]
IKEA Really is Family Friendly
Lately I've been spending a lot of time at IKEA picking up and returning stuff for our second floor renovation. Rather than wasting time on the weekend, I've been going during the week with LJ in tow. You may remember I went a few weeks ago and had a bit of a break down in the nursing room. I left … [Read more...]
Sweater Weather
I am no fan of fall. In fact, autumn is my least favourite season. I'll take a muggy summer day over a crisp fall day. I'll take vibrant green trees over half naked crunchy trees. I'll take a Tim's Ice Capp over a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice latte. (Seriously - am I the only person who thinks these … [Read more...]
CAAAAR: Road Hockey Is and Always Will Be The Best
I experienced one of the great joys of being a parent yesterday - my two boys along with some other kids on the street played a game of road hockey. How amazing is that? There is nothing more Canadian than hearing the sound of those sticks slapping against the asphalt with the occasional “car” being … [Read more...]
