Wow. It sounds like a broken record around UrbanMoms today but what a fantastic weekend. The weather. The boy. BBQ. Beer. Fireworks. All were incredible. We spent a ton of time with our neighbours this weekend. It was perfect. The six kids … [Read more...]
Victoria day learning
Soccer eats up a lot of our time in the spring, eating up four days a week and preventing weekend runs to the cottage. But I don't mind. Sure sitting on a dock drinking beer and watching the kids freeze in the spring water is appealing, but the fact is, the black flies are out and lake play is … [Read more...]
Hey, What’s That Smell?
Now and again, our hall closet seems to experience that not-so-fresh feeling, and I want to run out and by some Massengill. Massengill for Closets, I mean. A douche for your depository, maybe? Go have a walk on the beach and talk about it with your mother. (Hold hands, even.)It's a normal phenomenon … [Read more...]
Gay. Get Over It.
So Raven-Symone, the cute kid from The Cosby Show and star of Disney shows like The Cheetah Girls and That's So Raven, came out and social media went wild. And not in a good way.It also happened to be #NOH8 Day in support of gay marriage and equality in the United States. So I … [Read more...]
Getting Nothing Done.
I pretty much took the week off from wife-ing and mothering. I had a social media conference to go to on Tuesday, and between the cocktail party the night before, and the post conference dinner and drinks, and then that magazine launch party I went to last night... well, in a few short days, … [Read more...]

And I know you were at odds with that tension.You knew instinctively that to over plan, over discuss and over analyze is a curse of women everywhere. You knew that some people behaved … [Read more...]
Theatre As A Teaching Tool
"It was awesome!" That was the response from my friend's 11-year-old daughter coming out of Dancap's production of West Side Story, now playing in Toronto. I'd debated bringing my 9-year-old daughter with me to opening night. Yes, the songs in this modern adaptation of Romeo & … [Read more...]
Hot for the Toronto Zoo
Being one of the few people that are actually from Toronto, I find certain local attractions comforting because of a familiarity acquired during my own journey from childhood to adult (debatable). St. Lawrence Market, the Ex, the Beach, all are places I visit quite regularly and have since moving … [Read more...]
Literate
Suddenly - it seems like out of nowhere, this is happening: There's a lot going on with my girl lately. Two wheeling on her bike...now reading. Just waiting for her teeth to start wiggling. Ugh...The bike riding was really exciting. The reading is a relief. I have three readers. Cam is … [Read more...]
