We know that in parenting—and in life—we need to be mindful in everything we do. Put away the mobile devices. Turn off the screen and spend quality time with our kids. We've heard it all before and we try our best to do that with our families. Most moms know that daily routines are also important, … [Read more...]

Post-Divorce: Do You Need A Therapist?
People don’t like to talk about needing a therapist. Often there is a stigma attached, but I’m honestly not sure where I’d be today if it weren’t for my therapist, Andrea Share. The countless hours I spent chatting with Andrea was one of the best things I did for myself when I separated. Some … [Read more...]
Where’s My Mother Of The Year Award?
It’s award show season and I’m just a teeny bit fed up of the red carpet. Maybe I’m just jealous because mine is only red in splotches from fruit punch. Maybe I’m waiting on my Mother of the Year award, like Susan Lucci and her Emmy all those years ago. It will probably take me 18 years to win that … [Read more...]

Growing A Child Freaked Me Out!
There are a few things in this life that I struggle to wrap my head around. First off, thinking about dying and having the world go on without me. I don't mean this in a 'I'm the King of the World' way. It's the thought of one day Will carrying on without me here to see it. That thought can send … [Read more...]
OMG: My Kid Can Drive Now?
So, a few days ago this happened: Yes, that is my daughter. Yes, that is a learner's permit in her hand. And—because we live in Alberta—yes: she is behind the wheel at fourteen. Legally. And since last Friday (when she passed the test), a day hasn't gone by that she hasn't greeted me as I … [Read more...]
Terrorist Negotiations And Spaghetti Squash
Not negotiating with terrorists seemed reasonable until I went and had a baby. As an infant, my son would hold hostage my bedtime. His witching hour was around 2 am, which gave me the illusion of a dilemma between watching Extreme Makeover again or early morning infomercials. Some of the products … [Read more...]
