Will and I tried out for a commercial today - well, a print ad for a toy. It was pretty cool. I'll admit, many things I try get labeled as, 'well, even if it's ridiculous, it'll give me something to write about.' They told us to come dressed for how we would play together at home. I opted … [Read more...]
The Tooth Fairy Fail: AKA Confessions
The day after Christmas, while we were at the cottage, Oliver's wiggly tooth fell out while he was brushing his teeth, and I remember being glad it didn't fall into the drain, lost forever. He put it under his pillow straight away, and I know he checked on it a few times that day, just to be sure it … [Read more...]
Nearly Five.
She keeps punctuating many of our conversations with, "I'm going to be five soon, you know..." As if it was a threat. It's been this way for months. And on the days when I'm really taking in our conversations (unlike the one when I'm just smiling and nodding, yes my darling) I notice how much … [Read more...]
New Year, New Pics!
On the first day of the New Year, while my hard-working husband was on the roof shovelling off the 45 centimetres that fell in the days prior, I was inside, still warm in my jammies, and opted instead to take pictures of our kids. (As if helping him was an option. Me? Roof?! SNOW??! … [Read more...]
It’s Time for Change
Obviously we are all devastated by what happened on Friday in Newtown, Connecticut. It's been 48 hours and I still find myself on the verge of tears. I keep catching myself starting at Will and trying to imagine if all of a sudden he was no longer here. If he was a victim of such senseless evil, … [Read more...]
You Can’t Always Get What You Want
The arrival of our annual visitor over the weekend had the kids scrambling to make lists for Tony to bring back to Santa (even the 11 year old). The 11 year old has only three things on his list. The item that made it into third place will likely be left under the tree for him by Santa, but the … [Read more...]
A Present You Can Open Again and Again
A little while ago I wrote about my love of reading. I love books - everything about them. I love the smell of them, the look of them, the feel of a book (or my Kobo) in my hand. I love to lose myself in imaginary worlds, to have my worldview questioned, my mind opened like a flower. When I was … [Read more...]
FotoFriday: Favourites
I thought I'd share a few of my favourite photos of my favourite 10 year old. Gorgeous, isn't he? … [Read more...]
Fall into the gap
I have watched the four-year gap between my boys with curious interest since Tasman was born back in 2006. From the wide-eyed tender touch of a blonde-haired four-year old, scared he was going to break his Buddha bellied brother to today's version where giggles click to punches with one snatched … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – October 9th, 2012
September always feels like a bit of a scramble, trying to get everyone into pants that aren't creeping up past the ankles, and finding shoes and jackets that fit. The mornings are chilly, but the afternoons are sunshiny and warm. Layers are a good idea. When it comes to fall jackets for a kid this … [Read more...]
