Today I Break Free

September 8, 2008 by Jen

Today I'm tired of fighting battles that don't exist and defending against enemies disguised as friends. Today I want to curl up under a rock where no one can find me and take a break for a while.

Journey 3D Review by My Kids

September 3, 2008 by Jen

As soon as we saw the ad we knew we had to see Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D! My kids are 5.5 and 9 and love a good adventure.

Farewell to Summer

September 1, 2008 by Jen

Is it me or does school seem to be starting extra early this year? I know, September 1st is a Monday so the long-weekend is early but still.

Video Podcast – Judging Other Moms

August 28, 2008 by Jen

My daughter is intense and spirited but nothing could prepare me for her over-the-top tantrum the other day. And NOTHING could prepare me for the judgment I felt from another mom.

A Walk in the Park

August 20, 2008 by Jen

Yesterday was a great day. I spent over 11 hours with 6 kids and a pal at Canada's Wonderland. A place I adored as a teenager. The rides, the thrills. I was a full-fledged roller coaster junkie. And now, so are my kids. My nearly 9 year old son (3 more days!) would go on anything. No fear. He LOVED … [Read more...]

The Miracle of Life

August 12, 2008 by Jen

This is my new soon-to-be niece or nephew. I am thrilled on so many levels. I can't wait to hold a baby again. To feel the soft curve of a newborn back and smell the warm sweet smell of baby. This is the first for my little sis and her lovely husband. I can't wait for my children to have a baby … [Read more...]
