My second child bolts up in the morning, gets dressed and makes his bed. My first child rolls out of bed at the last minute and leaves everything everywhere. My second child sits at the dining room table quietly doing all or most of his borrow-a-book homework the day after it is assigned, knowing … [Read more...]
The Importance of Breakfast
I've written before about the craziness of mornings in our house. It's not necessarily getting easier. I'm trying to stick to a workout routine but being a single mom, it's in the morning or there is no exercise to be had. It always feels like a harried rush. Will and I fly through getting … [Read more...]
Playing Hooky
This past Sunday, Sean and I were discussing the week ahead. Cam would be gone from Monday to Wednesday on a school trip. Eva had a Sick Kids appointment on Tuesday and we were sorting out the day when Sean suggested we just ditch everything. Take Cuy out of school, take the GoTrain downtown and … [Read more...]
Mucho Gusto.
When I was offered the opportunity to travel to El Salvador with World Vision, I didn't entirely know what to expect. I knew it wouldn't be sun and sand and margaritas, but despite the itinerary I received and my discussions with Britt Hamilton, the Advocacy Communications Officer, I still didn't … [Read more...]

We have such a good time together. It makes me so happy. When they say "Crawl into bed beside us, Mom," do it and stay for too long. … [Read more...]
I Hope You Dance
My patience has been thin, these past few weeks. Too much on the go, too many things to remember, too many fights to break up between three snarling girls all day. I have been yelling too much, sighing too much, wanting to escape too much and that is not how I want to be remembered. I hope they … [Read more...]
Blow Your Nose On Your Goals
In my desk drawer I have cue cards for the last 4 years with my goals and intentions written on them. If it sounds goofy, let me tell you that stuff I write down always comes to fruition - not always in the year I hope- but eventually. Every year around Labour Day we have a goal setting dinner. … [Read more...]
Mess Distress
Kids are back and with them piles of wet, stinky, sandy laundry. I don't know about you but I feel everything needs to be washed that comes home. Toothbrushes get thrown out, hairbrush gets a boiling bath, flip flops that don't owe you a penny get tossed in the trash and the stuffies (yes, 16 … [Read more...]
